Chapter 110: Natalia’s POVMy heart was still ramming with questions about my suspicions of Theresa.It was so bad that it was starting to hurt. I wanted her to remain the perfect woman I have known all my life.I wanted her to be perfect but all the coincidences and pointers against her were starting to drive me crazy. Everything was starting to affect all I have known.I mean, how could she be evil or want me dead after she had cared for me all these years like her own?But then again, I couldn't continue to get emotional and think with my heart. This was now more than just my safety.I had an unborn child to protect and I couldn't let anything happen to me until I birthed them.That was why I had accepted Wesley’s proposal of moving back with him. Just until agent Sloan and her people got to the bottom of things.I knew my father wouldn't support this, especially with his current dissatisfaction with Wesley.But I was ready to give Wesley another chance. For the sake of the baby… i
Chapter 109: ||Wesley’s POV||“I know I probably shouldn't be here after everything but…” Natalia’s eyes went to her fingers, “I don't have anyone else I can trust.”My stomach twisted into knots and once again, I found myself hugging her.“I’m here for you. Anytime, it doesn't matter if we fight or anything… Please do not ever hesitate to come to me.”Natalia trembled in my arms like a candle struggling to stay lit. She could barely control her emotions as she shattered in my arms.My heart instantly dropped to my stomach in panic.“Did Theresa try anything to you? Did she touch you?” I slightly pulled her back, searching her face for answers.Theresa was suspicious and we all knew that well enough. After her silent manipulations and attempts on my life, I was glad that Natalia finally saw her for who she truly was.My only worry was if she actually managed to hurt her.“No… I don't think so,” Natalia whispered, as she shook her head. “But tell me why she keeps buying herbs that coul
Chapter 108: ||Natalia’s POV||Ever since the conversation with my father, I couldn't help but feel strange about Theresa.It was becoming clearer every day that there was more to her. I mean, for someone whom my father claimed to have paid off and set up, what was she still doing here with us working as a maid?Not like she actually does hard work, but she still wore the uniform and carried herself with the same humility.Which was good. But too good. Too perfect.I had to find out what she did on the side with so much money at her disposal.So I decided to start my own investigation. I knew Lila and her agent were probably doing the same, but I would sleep better if I found out on my own.I had to know if she had family. Where did she come from? What did she do on her free days? And many more.The perfect opportunity then came on her next off day.As soon as she went into her room to get ready, I also changed into a long brown hoodie and dark glasses.So as soon as she hit the road
Chapter 107: ||Lila’s POV||“I don’t even know how to thank you,” Violet whispered, her voice shaking a little as she held me.I had received her call moments after dropping Wesley home and I came to the safehouse where she and her brother were being housed almost instantly.“My brother might have died if not for you and Mr Wesley,” she added, still clinging to my shoulders.I ran my fingers over her back, trying my best to soothe her worries.“Violet, you don't have to thank us at all,” I said, pulling back slightly to look at her.Her eyes were tired, but she still smiled.“You helped us more than we helped you… I mean if not for you, we might have never found Robert nor had concrete proof of at least one of his crimes...”She nodded, brushing a curl from her face. “I’m glad I could help. I hope he really rots in jail.”I also nodded, hoping for the very same thing. Robert truly was evil and he had to be punished.“Anyway, enough about Robert, tell me about you. What are your plans?
CHAPTER 106: ||ROBERT’S POV||They were bluffing. All of them. They couldn't send me to prison for my crimes. They had no proof.They had nothing. Just empty intimidations.As soon as the session was over, I sat back with a smug smile, watching the darkened windows. I knew there were people on the other side, watching me.And I was prepared to give them a good show. Besides, it wasn't everyday they had the chance to stare into the face of a god like me.So despite the soreness on my wrists, thanks to their silly cuffs, I relaxed into the chair and waited.I knew how things like this worked. They were keeping me here so I could sweat or act out of panic. The poor fools.They were getting nothing. Because I was determined to remain calm until they had no choice but to either get me the immunity I had requested or close the damned case.I couldn't even tell how much time had passed when suddenly the door buzzed and opened. Agent Sloan walked in.I smiled.“I was hoping to get some more q
CHAPTER 105: NATALIA’S POVI stood in the middle of my room frozen with multiple emotions as I continued processing Theresa’s behaviour.Even despite my refusal, she had still brought the tea and now I didn't know what to make of it.My chest was tight and my skin was burning as I turned my eyes to the tea cup still untouched on the table.If the situation was reversed, and I was the one offering tea to someone and they were refusing, I would not get mad. Neither would I force them.I would just let it go. But Theresa wasn't letting it go.It was almost like there was more going on that I wasn't aware of because… why?Everything just felt like a metaphor. On one hand, I was trying to be open and understanding. But on the other hand, nothing made sense.Nothing was right… especially not with Theresa.Her attitude was strange. Her smile had darkness in them… her words were laced with sweetness that felt forced…I couldn't even tell if all of this was just in my head but I could see it.
