Chapter 151DAHLIA Gilbert or whatever he is called led us back to the dining, grabbed hold of the tablet and unlocked it.“That's the tablet containing evidence? The one my father told me about?” Ivana asked.The guy nodded.“Uncle and I have been gathering evidence against Francis Knight for years…”“Who's that?” I asked.I practically knew all the Knights but this would be my first time hearing of Francis Knight.“The old man…” Gilbert gave me a surprised glance.“Aren't you married to Ronan? How come you don't know his grandfather's name?” He asked.Only then did it dawn on me that I didn't even know the old man's name. All these while I'd been addressing him as old man or Ronan's grandfather not once did it occur to me to ask for his name.“Hold on, so you all were planning on facing someone you don't even know his name?” Gilbert laughed at his own joke.“Imagine suing him and getting asked what Francis Knight did wrong to you, then you go…Your honour, who is Francis Knight? Tha
Chapter 150DAHLIA “Someone is in here. A man,” Ivana walked up to me and whispered.“I thought you said this place was safe?” I whispered back but she looked just as confused as me.“I don't know Dahlia, I'm the only one supposed to have the keys to this place…”“Then how did the so-called man get in,” I was getting tense at this point.“Beats me,” she mumbled.“Come…” She walked out of the room, I immediately trailed behind her.“We should get out of here,” I suggested.She nodded.“That's exactly what I want us to do now. Thinking of it now, a hotel doesn't sound that bad,” Ivana mumbled.My eyes rested on her and I could see she was tense and scared. So much for someone wanting to get revenge.I walked up to her, grabbed her shaky hand and gave her an assuring look.“We'll get back home safely, Ivana. Don't freak out. That's the last thing I'd want right now….” She bobbed her head like she perfectly understood me, but her hand kept shaking.I could only guess this was her first t
Chapter 149DAHLIAIvana pulled up in front of an old nearly run down building. Turned off the ignition and got out of the car.I sat, glued to the seat, refusing to step out, making her walk over to my side.“Aren't you getting out?” She asked, raising her brows at me.“Ivana, I agreed to go to a hotel, not this,” I glanced at the eerie looking building. The entire neighborhood looks like it had been abandoned for at least five years if not more.“We don't have time for this, Dahlia,” Ivana pulled the car door open, grabbing my hand and pulling me out of the car.“I own this place, father bought it for me….he purchased the entire neighborhood,” Ivana explainedPulling me towards the gate.“And why would he buy a place like this?” The quietness, the tardiness and how eerie the entire place looks made me feel uncomfortable.“No one would ever suspect that a billionaire's daughter would stay in a place like this. You all were looking for a perfect hiding spot. This is it. Even Brandon a
Chapter 148RONAN“I got one more gift in there for you. You can find it on the Oncology floor. Have a nice time saving a life.”The instant Kennedy let out these words with that crazy smile on his face, I instantly knew something was wrong with Dahlia's mother.She was the only person I knew on the Oncology floor and by all means I knew he was talking about her.Seeing how he told me about it, there was no doubt Dahlia's mother was still alive and there was definitely something I could do to save her.“The more you waste time, the more she nears her deathbed,” Kennedy smiled, standing there and watching me have an internal battle with myself.I could rush upstairs and save Dahlia's mother and risk leaving Brandon and Gavin exposed to danger. Seeing how Kennedy, who has been avoiding a meet up like this for months, came down here on his own to meet me. I knew he was up to something and also knew why I was here. I saw through his plans. He wanted me to go save my mother-in-law and leav
Chapter 147DAHLIA With a sigh, I took Ivana's hand, rising to my feet.“Next time you want to pull something like this. Discuss it with me first. I don't appreciate getting hurt,” I told her.“I'm sorry, Dahlia. I knew you wouldn't want to play along. So I had to do what I did…”“You…” I didn't know what to say, so I just kept shut.“Let's go.”Ivana grabbed the keys from the guard's hand, then took the lead, heading out the door while I quietly trailed behind her. Once we got out, she locked the door and shoved the keys into her pocket.“And the bat?” I raised a brow at the bat she was still clutching.“Might come in handy.”I could only shake my head and follow her lead.We tiptoed toward the stairs and once we got there, Ivana halted hushing me and peeking.“There are guards out there,” she whispered.“We're done then,” I sighed.I know I proposed the whole idea of the two of us investigating Richard Knight to make sure this wasn't his big plan. But I didn't just want to rush int
Chapter 146DAHLIA Ivana and I hadn't expected Brandon to lock us up and even have security stationed outside the door. We were two grown women but right now, that didn't seem to matter to any of them, the only thing they all had in mind was our safety.Looking up, Ivana was already at the door, trying to get the guys outside there to unlock it. But that didn't seem to be going well. Just like I expected, the guys stationed outside the door were hot headed and wouldn't even say a word to Ivana. In fact, they were all ignoring her like she didn't exist. Ivana on the other hand was screaming and losing her mind despite this.“Just let it go, Ivana,” I called out to her, but got ignored.It didn't seem like she was giving up anytime soon, so I just let her be. About five minutes later, she eventually turned around to look at me“Don't tell me you're okay with being locked up in here?” She asked, giving me an incredulous look.“What choice do I have? Shouting and banging the door won’t
