Chapter 84

DAHLIA

Brandon drove me to the Brights mansion. Getting there, the gates were readily opened like they'd been expecting us. I expected some kind security clearance, or something, considering the Brights were a billionaire family, almost on par with the Knights.

Brandon drove in and parked the car, then we both got out. There were different men stationed at every part of the property. I expected them to question us but nothing. Instead one of them approached us and led us to the entrance.

Brandon and I exchange puzzled glances. But said nothing.

The door was pulled open, I walked in, Brandon behind me.

I stepped into the huge, vibrant living room, my eyes met Gavin's. He gave me a warm smile. I didn't return it. I looked at the person right next to him. The former CEO of Brights Holdings, Donald Bright, my supposed father.

I walked further in, then I felt someone's eyes on me. Turning in the direction of the gaze, I saw myself staring at me. I felt like looking at my

    Chapter 152DAHLIASitting there and listening to Gilbert talk about how evil Francis Knight has always been, made me recoil. The man wasn't just vile, he was a monster, one capable of doing anything with no fear of facing the consequences.It made me worry about Ronan. Yes, he is his grandfather, but there was no telling what he could do. Knowing that he hates his son, Richard didn't make it any better. Ronan was Richard's son and by all means, I knew he would transfer the hate to Ronan.“My God,” I could only mumble.“So, that man killed father?” Ivana asked after staying silent for nearly ten minutes trying to digest the new information.“I have everything recorded. But I'm sure you do not want to see your father getting killed,” Gilbert said, his voice low and firm.“It's for the court. That is if they're actually going to be helpful. If they don't sentence that man to death or life imprisonment with no parole, then I'll take the law into my own hands….”“Ronan and the others are

    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
