Chapter 81
Harper
I couldn’t keep the secret anymore. I was dying inside and I told Faith about it. She thought I was being paranoid but I was waiting for her to come here later after her brunch with her family. I was going to drive her around and make her see for herself. I couldn’t tell my brother yet because that would be a disaster.
“Is there something you are not telling me,” I heard my brother walk into my room as my heart cracked.
“What?” I grimaced as I looked at the flowers in his hand.
“Why is Conrad sending you flowers?” he threw them by the bed. I pushed my laptop away and sat up intertwining my legs. For a moment I thought he knew that someone was following me and I never told him. We had promised to be honest with each other but both of us have been failing miserably.

James “All set,” the nurse spoke as she pressed on my abdomen. “Thanks,” I said as I buttoned my shirt. My wound was healing well. I hadn’t strained myself too much. Well until now. I thought my body was healing so I had gone back to lifting weights. I thought my body could take it but I needed a reminder that I still needed the rest. I resisted everything in me as I walked out of the hospital. I knew she was up there but there was nothing more I could do. It seemed like everything we had been doing was useless. The hospital footage was just for show. That hasn’t worked in years but they loved to keep it there for “awareness” they said. We had hit another dead end. Morgan seemed to be cocky as usual but I could see that he too see

Harper My brother and I were walking on eggshells around each other or it could only be me. He did apologize and I told him I was over it but I was not. I also lied to him that I would stop my writing but I didn’t. He wouldn’t understand why I needed this. It was about my career and more. I wanted to know the truth. I wanted to uncover the mystery and It would be a shame if someone else got the scoop when I was this close to it. I think it would be unforgivable if I were to land an interview and they know that Kioni Turner was someone I knew. The Gaby Soto puff piece was a dead giveaway. Everyone would piece it together and my chances of being a columnist would be gone. James has been home lately and cooped up in his room. I knew he was up to something because he kept his door locked. It was making me tingly and curious. I wouldn’t be

Harper “Ja - James, James,” he said. I don’t know why he was even trying. “You should leave,” I warned. He nodded as he tried to hand me the flowers and the box of chocolates. The audacity of this boy. I raised my brow and he withdrew before casting his eyes down and moving. “Not so fast.” James stopped him, “Harper, get inside. Tell me why you thought climbing onto my window was such a great idea?” James looked mad. How dids he know? “I - I wasn’t” he shook his and looked back at me. “Don’t look at her. Look at me.” James took one strode. Yes, I was dead. “I swear,” “Who told you that sneaking in a house was romantic?” James had him by t

James To suspect one is a master criminal is one thing. Proving it is another. The system is not broken but people have changed. The police have become greedy and civilians feel entitled. It’s getting harder for honest cops to do their jobs. Everything is always flawed. It's harder to conduct a thorough investigation without second guessing everything. It took me a long time to come back to the reason I have been doing all of this. I might have done this in memory of my father but I do it for the people out there who deserve justice. I want to prove that there are still honest people in this world who will do everything to make sure that the bad guys are caught. I wasn't angry at Harper. I was more angry that I had forgotten myself in trying to make sure Nick pays. My feelings were getting in the way. I trusted my gut and I know he wa

James I checked my phone before groaning and running down the stairs. It was almost midnight and someone was ringing the bell and banging the door. I can hear one ring. There was no need for such a ruckus. “Do you know what time this is?” I said, opening the door looking annoyed. “Oh good,” he sighed. He looked a little frantic, “I’m Marko,” “Yes?” I looked at him. “Is Faith here? I have been trying to call her and we only thought to check -” “What are you talking about?” I interjected. “She is my sister and we haven’t heard from her for hours,” “What?” I blinked, “Come in,” I said, opening the doo

Harper 9 hours ago The chocolates Conrad sent were a lot of help because Faith and I had finished the whole box before we went to ice cream. I had told Faith what I saw in my brother’s room and she had, pinky promised not to breathe a word and she was going to help me discreetly do research. I had left my brother alone and I knew he was going to come around. I was going to make him his favorite meal and apologize. I’m sure it will be a long way but I was going to apologize until I knew for sure he would forgive me. I will admit I was wrong and I shouldn’t have been nosy and a troublemaker. “Did you order something?” I looked at Faith who shook her head. “Maybe it’s Conrad back with more chocolate,” she grinned as the doorbell rang again. I pushed myself up and ope

Chapter 88 Nick This is good. Better than Jay following her. She was smart because of everything she said. She could tell from day one that she was being followed. If it wasn’t for her smartness and meddlesome I wouldn't have known about the bracelet. To think James has it all these years and didn’t know what it contains. I might have an alliance with my father but I wasn’t going to tell him about my discovery. His input was helpful but I was the boss and I still kept a close eye on him. He can move around the house but if he makes a slight move I wouldn’t hesitate to have him taken care of. “Come in,” I shouted in my office. “S-sir there is a boy here to see you,” I looked up at Dani. “Does this boy have a name
Suppressed Memories Chapter 89
James We were at the station in Romans office waiting for him. Nigel was refusing to just hand me the bracelet so I can go and hand it over and get my sister back. I know it wasn't that simple. We have dealt with so many kidnappings before and it was never that simple but I was willing to make it easy. “What’s taking him so long?” “Relax,” I looked at Nigel who fell silent. He has been telling me to relax since two in the morning and now it is almost noon. We have been trying to do this alone as I was instructed in the envelope. No cops. Yeah right. I was a cop but guess this was an exception. “Will you stop doing that? You are making me nervous.” “We shouldn’t be in here,” I said, “Y
