Chapter 009

​EVELYNE'S POV

​I just have to keep playing along with him until I've got solid evidence that he is actually connected to the Organization, I thought to myself as I stared down at the garden right behind the hospital.

​I stroked my temple as I felt a migraine coming on.

​There was no doubt my soul was having a hard time getting used to Rosetta's weak frame; hence, the sudden blackout.

​“You're slacking off, Eve,” I mumbled while I tried to analyze everything I remembered from that day.

​That man was obviously someone who knew Williams. No one had access to the VIP lounge; only people who were authorized to come see the man of the hour.

​“I wonder what secret you're hiding.” A strange glint flashed through my eyes, too quickly for anyone to notice, as I came up with a plan.

​I turned around, went back to my bed, and carefully picked up Mia's laptop.

​I just needed to know the keys she'd clicked on. To find out, I raised it closer and carefully stared at the keyboard for prints. In no time, I found her password, quickly entered it, and gained access to her computer.

​“Let's see if there's anything here,” I mumbled while moving my fingers across her keyboard. I searched through the laptop, and strangely enough, it was squeaky clean. But of course, I knew what to do next.

​I instantly turned her laptop into a "zombie" by installing malware that granted me access to everything on it.

​I could sense her getting closer, so I immediately switched it off and placed it back where it was.

​I wore a smile on my face as I waited for her to open the door. Shortly after, she walked in with brown paper bags.

​“I'm sorry I took so long; I had to deal with something urgently,” she explained as she gently placed them on the coffee table.

​“It's fine. I wasn't really bored,” I said as I kept staring at her tablet.

​She'd left with her tablet and mobile phone earlier.

​“Oh, okay. I got you all greens. I spoke with your nutritionist, and he advised you to eat more vegetables,” she explained as she took out the vegetable salad. However, there was one problem.

​I hated vegetables, but I forced a smile.

​It seemed like I would have to deal with this for a while.

​“When can I leave? I hate it here,” I said with a frown, and she chuckled softly.

​“You'll be discharged today, okay?” she assured me, and I smiled.

​“Would you like me to call someone from the Glenn family?”

​“Nah, I'm good. Thanks for the meal, by the way.” She seemed really good to Rosetta, but unfortunately, I wasn't going to fall for all that sweetness.

​A few hours later, I was taken back to the mansion. While I was back at the hospital, nobody dared to visit.

​“It seems like we'll have to take care of your own problems first, Rossie,” I mumbled while taking a shower, staring at my reflection.

​I was getting fed up with those pesky insects trying to act all nice when they literally tried to kill me.

​The Organization has always been "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

​“Are you okay in there?” I heard Mia's voice calling out to me.

​“I'll be out soon!” I yelled back.

​I always enjoyed staying under the shower for a long time to get rid of the death stench that followed me after killing a target.

​It had been weeks since my last kill, and of course, I felt my soul trying to suppress the urge to kill someone.

​Rosetta's body was something I would need to work on, or else I wouldn't last long.

​After taking my time in the shower, I came out draped in a bathrobe with a towel wrapped around my extremely long hair.

​“You were in there for so long; I was worried something had happened to you,” Mia said, and I chuckled softly.

​“Of course not. I usually take my time in the shower,” I explained as I gently rubbed my hair with the towel.

​“I guess I'll leave you alone to rest up, okay? I'm going to drag my brother here if I have to,” she assured me, smiling mischievously.

​I guess I would have to keep my enemies closer.

​“Thank you so much, Mia. You're the best.” I decided to act frail, like Rosie would, and hugged her.

​“You're my friend, and Mr. Snappy Pants is my brother, so it's only natural I get you two together.” She exaggerated, and I picked up on a point.

​The marriage wasn't just an alliance to save Mr. Glenn’s company. There was something else.

​The Carter family was a family of the most powerful and influential people. It wasn't easy to be the daughter-in-law of that family. I was certain there was something else, and I couldn't seem to remember no matter how hard I tried.

​It wasn't in her memory.

​Once Mia had left, I crouched down by the queen-sized bed and took out my laptop, which was attached to the bed frame.

​I was going to call Mr. Glenn to get a new desk, a computer, and two monitors.

​I sat down with my legs crossed as I logged in immediately.

​“Let's find out why you're being adored by the Carters.” I bit my fingernail before doing some digging, and then I came across Williams's early life.

​The Elites: a school for the rich.

​Rosetta also attended the same school. I tried to remember, but I couldn't access some of her memories.

​While staring at the pictures of the school, my eyes caught something familiar.

​I zoomed in to get a better look, and sure enough, it was a symbol consisting of a snake wrapped around an Excalibur buried deep inside an eagle.

​“The Organization,” I mumbled as I trailed my fingers across the screen.

​The symbol was a representation of the Organization.

​It seemed the Organization ran way deeper than I thought.

​Williams and Rosetta attended The Elites, and that was when she'd developed a crush on him.

​“Let's see,” I whispered as I began digging for more. Sure enough, I found another interesting search.

​“Three siblings?” I muttered out loud.

​The Carter family had three children.

​I frowned upon realizing that it was starting to get more complicated—and interesting.

​There wasn't a single article on the third sibling. I couldn't find a single image of him even when I did a reverse image search.

​Someone did a clean job hiding the identity of the third sibling. I couldn't help but wonder if he was dead.

​Something was definitely fishy, and I knew all my suspicions were pointing to Williams.

​It was without a doubt a piece of the puzzle.

​I hated being challenged, and I decided to keep trying to open the encrypted files. Unfortunately, whoever did this sure did a great job at hiding everything.

​I hacked into Mr. Carter's computer, but as soon as I got in, the other party caught a whiff of my movement. They tried to track me, so I had to pull out before I was exposed.

​I shut the laptop angrily and shoved it aside.

​He was using the Lockwell firewall to protect his company from hackers.

​I was infuriated and felt defeated for the very first time.

​A knock landed on the door, snapping me out of my thoughts.

​“Young Miss, your father wants to have a word with you,” a female servant announced before walking away, and I rolled my eyes.

​I stood up and changed into rugged baggy jeans and a tank top. I tied my hair up because I hated long hair.

​I had just stepped out of the room and walked through the hallway when Ivy launched an attack at me. I effortlessly saw through her cheap tricks and moved backward.

​She looked like a zombie who hadn't slept for days, and of course, she'd probably cried so much her eyes had changed.

​“What's this now?” I asked with an irritated tone.

​“I saw him first. He's mine, and I will never let you take him away from me!” she said in a hoarse voice while holding a pair of scissors, thinking it was going to scare me.

​“Sometimes I wonder what goes on in that thick skull of yours... I'm busy and can't play with you right now, shoo.” I pushed her out of my way and was about to walk away when she tried to grab hold of my hair.

​I suddenly caught her wrist and threw her roughly to the floor, making her groan in pain.

​I pinned her hands behind her back with one hand while I covered her mouth with the other to muffle her screams.

​“Attacking from behind was a cheap move,” I whispered while she kept groaning in pain as I tightened my grip.

​“At first, I thought I had nothing to do with him, but you know what? I changed my mind. I'm taking him away, Sis.”
