Shane's POV

Hearing the siren from the ambulance wasn't helpful. I stood outside with Wayne, watching the paramedics carry the woman's remains in a body bag and enter the ambulance.

The officer before me clicked his pen and flipped his notepad. His tone started off rasped and then settled to a judgy one.

“Let me get this straight. The victim was with you in the private section of the café with your brother.”

“Yes,” I answered, already knowing where the conversation was headed.

“And you didn't poison her?”

“No, I didn't.”

“And she began foaming while she was about to divulge some information to you?”

“Yes. We have gone over this four times,” I replied, irritated.

His eyes searched me and I saw the disgust. It was more of him assessing me, and I knew he was making the usual judgment that rich men always get away with anything.

“What was the information she was supposed to give to you?”

“She said she knew who could have possibly killed my father.”

The officer didn't look impressed. “Forg

  • The Billionaires Game    Chapter 149

    Shane's POVThe woman smirked and said nothing.I leaned forward, resting my elbows on the table. My voice was low, calm, but sharp enough to cut. “Listen to me carefully. You think hiding behind a lawyer will save you? No. I can make sure your family pays for this. I can have your mother, your father, everyone dragged into courtrooms, hounded, and broken. You’ll watch them crumble while you rot in here.”Her lips trembled, but she still tried to keep her stare strong.“I don’t care if you’re a woman,” I went on. “I will not go easy on you. You poisoned someone to shut her up. Tell me why.”She stuttered, muttered nonsense, tried to steer the conversation away. My patience snapped. I turned to the detective. “Go after her boyfriend. He’s the one pulling strings.”At the mention of his name, her eyes flickered. That was all I needed.I leaned in close enough for only her to hear. “I know you’re pregnant. I saw your medical records. You’ll make a perfect slave in prison. Do you want tha

    Shane’s POVI rubbed my face hard with both hands, my frustration climbing as each second passed. The screen in front of me showed nothing helpful anymore. I felt like I was wasting my time digging for a ghost. I was about to push the chair back when the door creaked open and a male nurse stepped in.He froze when his eyes landed on me. His smile was faint, almost forced, and he asked in a calm but strange voice, “Are you looking for someone? I can help you.”The way he spoke, the way his eyes shifted around like he was making sure no one else was in the room, made my stomach twist. He was too eager, too quick to offer help in a place like this. I leaned back in my chair, shaking my head slowly.“No thanks,” I told him, my tone flat.His jaw tensed for a second, then he nodded and walked out the door. I kept my eyes on him, following him until he left. That was when I saw it.The edge of a tattoo. The dark lines peeking out from under his sleeve as he reached for the handle. I didn’t

    Shane's POVI breathed out and focused my eyes on the empty road before me. Dwayne's voice sprung up.“Shouldn't you inform the police?”“And risk her trying to escape? Not a chance.”“But if we figured it out, shouldn't the police have that in mind?”“Not yet. They think I…” I looked at him and made a hand gesture. “We killed her. She might likely be the last person they think of, except they consider the fact that we got an apprentice and didn't want to get our hands dirty.”Dwayne undid his seat belt and pressed his back to the chair. “Spit it.”“What?” I requested.“Whatever's going on in that damn brain of yours.”“I wonder if she's already on the run now?”“Wouldn't that make it very suspicious on her end?” Dwayne responded casually.I said nothing and kept staring at the empty road, then muttered. “What if we catch both at the same time?”“You mean for us to divide, don't you?”My silence gave the answer. He shook his head. “I don't know what the person we are after looks like.

    Shane's POV “I can't believe I listened to you,” Dwayne complained, crossing his leg on the other as he sat. This was his third complain since we arrived at the cafe. We sat in the private section protected from the regular eyes. I tried my best to ignore him but he was pushing his luck too much. “Don’t you feel stupid?” He asked. “Why should I?” I responded calmly and raised my gaze. The waitress walked in just as Dwayne shifted his attention to me from the tinted window. “What would you like sir?” She asked in a cheerful her professional tone. “Some warm Italian latte would do,” I responded and she took out her notepad. Her eyes went to Dwayne and she looked at me. I knew it was the resemblance. T was a thing for us but luckily we were always easily differentiated by our hair color. I was a natural blonde while he sometimes had dark brown hair with dirty blonde roots. “Would be having anything?” She requested. I like at him and felt I had been ignoring our resemblance for fa

    Shane’s POV “Mr. Shane.” I looked up when Dr. Richard called from the autopsy room. My fists were already balled before I got inside. The forensic pathologist glanced at me, his gloves smeared. “We found something.” “What?” I asked, hearing him flip the page to the next and read whatever was on it. “There were traces of poison in your father's blood. It wasn't fast-acting. That means it was slow.” “I know what it means. Can you get to the point already?” My voice thundered. The doctor didn't flinch, but continued reading the file and closed it. “The poison acted as very slowly masking it as a natural death. That was what caused his heart attack. I bet whoever did this has been doing for years but that wasn't strong enough to kill him so quickly.” My jaw clenched so tight I thought my teeth would snap. “You said poison?” “Yes. It mimics heart failure. Anyone without detailed tests would have ruled it natural.” I slammed my fist into the metal table. The echo shot through th
