LOGINJULIAN'S POVI saw Cassandra work majestically towards me, and inside me I was really shattered. I knew Cassandra was some kind of person, but I didn't expect her to go this far.“You claim to be an officer, yet you are wearing a mask; that gives me the full impression of not delivering you,” he said, her voice shivering. I said nothing but went a few steps forward to her and used my right hand to pull off my mask. “Oh my God,” she gasped.“Wow,” I giggled. “All of a sudden you are not surprised? Why now?” I struggled really hard to maintain my patience. “I'm sorry,” Cassandra cried. “What's really going on? Why are you sorry? A few seconds ago you claimed that nothing bad was going on here. Why are you now sorry?” I question bitterly. “I'm genuinely sorry; please forgive me. I really didn't want it to be like this. Honestly, I was doing this for the horse, most especially for you,” she replied, sobbing. “I never requested this dirty help,” I yelled. “You never did it for me; you
JULIAN’S POVMy heart already plans to ambush them as a secret hideout. I already knew that location before they would bring her into that isolated hall. Over the days I have gathered enough evidence to expose Cassandra and her crew. I would rather not hesitate. I wanted perfect timing to execute my plans, so I calmly followed. Before going, the person you needed to leak all information to first was one of the SWAT members, whom we were interrogating since this investigation started. I had to be sure of what he was telling me, so I interrogated him one more time before going. “I am sure you are not trying to lead me into danger, right?” I questioned aggressively. “Why did I even do such a thing when I am in this kind of situation? I have no choice but to follow your will. Even if I was going to betray you, honestly that shouldn't be now because I am already in your custody. Like I just said earlier, you have no more time to spend, and get the lady before she has no help left,” the
EMILIA'S POV As expected, I assumed it was going to be; I knew Cassandra and Theodore would never allow me to step into court because I would be free there and left to just expose them. “And this is the court you were going to take me to?” I questioned, and I smiled bitterly. “Get her here fast before she gets noticed,” Cassandra ordered. “You guys are really playing with fire hard, and it’s about time you give it a break,” I told them. “And who gave you the position to speak? You have no right to say a word about anything here. You are the one who is being so difficult to walk past. All this could have been over if you had just signed those papers before now,” Cassandra yelled. “Just look at her, how miserable her life has been lately, yet you still have no pity for yourself,” Theodore supported. “Time to waste here with her, just take her inside,” Cassandra spoke. I was dragged inside an isolated building by the guards. My hands were tied down; I didn't know exactly what they
EMILIA'S POV I was informed in the morning that I was going to be taken to court today. To me, it was very sudden, so I needed to confront the reason the news was just coming now. “What are we really going on? Why have you all sold your soul to those nuns?” I questioned aggressively. “Watch your mouth, madam; I won't have you insult me when you are powerless here,” the guard replied. “All of a sudden I am getting the news that I will be taken to court soon. Why is it coming now?” I asked. “This is an order you have to follow. I am not here to exchange words with you; all I am here to do is give you the message I was sent to give you and leave. And you are given not less than ten minutes to get yourself ready. I would take my leave,” the guard instructed and left. I felt embarrassed; I was mocked by someone who once looked up to me. My current life is really disgusting, but since I have gotten this far with my determination, I am not going to give up until I get my freedom and ex
Emilia’s POVThe silence I was feeling felt different, especially now I knew the whole truth. Before, it was like I was confused but now, my eyes were opened and I knew the truth.I sat at the edge of the bed, my hands tucked under my jaw and I was staring at the closed doer.It was like my mind was caught in a loop. It kept replaying every word I had heard from when Cassandra and Theodore were arguing.They had talked about the company, inheritance and Julian like something they could hat collect.But now, it all made sense and I had finally understood why they could go as far as holding me hostage.Why they had kept bring those divorce papers for me to sign and why they had been so desperate.It had never been about me, all they wanted was control and I was standing in their way.Thinking about it right now brought a smile to my lips and it only gave me more strength and courage.I wasn’t hopeless, as long as I refused to sign the documents, they couldn’t get what they wanted,Sudd
Julian’s POVI hadn’t slept properly in weeks. Every day felt the same to me now.Wake up, search for Emilia. Try to find another lead and hit another dead end. Then start all over again.The tiredness was eating me up but I didn’t care at this point. Nothing mattered to me anymore except finding her, every second she was missing felt like torture to me.Every time my phone rang, I jumped to answer it and every time an unknown number appeared on my screen, I just prayed it would be her or someone who knew something about her whereabouts.But until now, it had always ended in disappointment.I was standing in my office, staring out the tall windows when my phone started ringing suddenly on my desk. It was the private investigator I had contacted and for weeks, he had been leading the search team. If he was calling me by this time, it meant that he must have found something.My pulse quickened and I grabbed the phone immediately.“Hello”, he said, immediately I picked the call.“I ha
