The Red Wedding Chapter 28
ELENA’S POINT OF VIEW Kai would have my head if he were to ever find out I showed myself to Theo. He just wouldn’t take it lightly with me. That was the least of my problems now, though. Alistair was. I was going to meet him tonight with the money I took from him. Not a warehouse. At a club Jay owned in Southern Jochester since he had some men there just in case something was to go wrong. “Alistair will be here in fifteen minutes.” Jay informed me as we got out of the car. Ricky, Kai and I got out of the back and Ari, the front. She wore a short silver dress with a low V-neck and black diamonds around the waist, like a belt. Me, on the other hand, I wore black jeans, and a cropped brown shirt. On my feet were white sneakers. I did not feel the need to dress up because it appeared the guys wanted to stay back for a drink and relax after everything. I didn’t bother to hide my face with my hat because the turned off neon light was a sign that the club did not have people i
The Red Wedding Chapter 29
ELENA’S POINT OF VIEW I was quite fortunate today. Jay, Arianna and Kai were not in the house, which meant I had the whole place to myself. They did not know I was going to meet up with Theo. If they did, they’d have my head. It was nine minutes past six and I knew I had to leave the house if I would get to the warehouse in time.However, my hope of seeing Theo seemed to crumble when I heard a car pull up in the driveway. I quickly took off my shoes and tossed my jacket on the couch before grabbing the remote and scanning through the channels as though I had zero plans of leaving the house. When I had found a suitable channel, the doorbell rang.I breathed deep before going to open the door. To my surprise, it was Ricky. He was clad in an all-black attire with a small smile playing on his lips.“You?”“Yes, me.” he nodded in the door's direction. “Won’t you let me in?”“Um, sure,” I stepped aside to let him into the house. He observed my shoes beside the couch and a smirk
The Red Wedding Chapter 30
ELENA’S POINT OF VIEW I couldn’t move a muscle. Staring at the ceiling in a confused state of mine, I refused to leave my room and see who was at the door. I was in too much shock to move. It was probably Arianna, or one of the guys. As the ringing got too much, irritation replaced my confusion. Why wouldn’t she use her own key to unlock the door?The ringing eventually stopped, and moments later, angry footsteps filled my ears. The door to my room burst open and there, Arianna stood, arms folded over her chest and her lips in a thin line of disapproval. She wore a white skirt, a white tank top and a yellow cardigan. Her usually bright lipstick was softer and a lot more casual.“Why didn’t you get the door?”“My bad. I did not know I was your butler.”She let out a sigh and came to sit beside me on the bed. “You saw the news, didn’t you?”“Yes. Yes, I did.”“So, what will you do?”“Run away to another country and change my name.”It was what I did best, anyway.Here’s the
The Red Wedding Chapter 31
“Aye, Andrea!” One of Alistair’s men hollered, lifting his right hand in the air, even though I could easily spot him, as there were only four people, including me, in the hotel room. Today was one of the few days when Alistair sends me to sleep with men to bring him pocket money. I often forgot what the men I slept with looked like, but this one… I couldn’t forget him, since he was always around Alistair.“Yes?” I stood up from the chair I had been sitting on in nothing but my underwear.He licked his bottom lip. “Come over here, sweetness.”I hid the anger and irritation as I made my way to Fontane, making sure to walk as sexily as possible to avoid being hit. He liked it when I walked like that. He’d told me.When I was in front of him, he faced the other two women in the room. “Get out.”Without a word, they scurried out of the room, leaving me with him. I tried my best to keep myself from shrinking away or wrapping my arms around myself in fear. I didn’t want to give

RYDER’S POINT OF VIEW “I’ll be here for you, Ryder. I’m going to be a constant in your life that will never leave. No matter what happens, I’ve got you.”That was a bloody lie. He’d said that to make me feel better. Theo never meant what he said. If he did, he wouldn’t be lying lifeless in a coffin with both hands placed on his chest and his eyes sealed shut. As I stared at him, I couldn’t help the heaviness in my chest. The feeling of pure misery I had felt when Isabella died was back. This time, worse.As I stood in the palace yard waiting for the hearse to arrive, Mirabel was wheeled out of the house by Jackson, who wore a black button-up shirt and pants, whereas Mirabel wore a black dress just like Annalise. Mirabel’s eyes were just as red as mine. She was fond of Theo. Anna, on the other hand, looked like she was trying to hold back her emotions. I locked eyes with her and she gave a forced smile before coming to me.“I’m sorry,” she wrapped her arms around me, pullin
The Red Wedding Chapter 33
RYDER’S POINT OF VIEW Since Theo’s passing, I had left his official position as adviser open. It couldn’t go on forever. I needed to appoint someone new in his place. Not as a friend, though. Just as an adviser. I’d gotten a lot of recommendations from my secretary, but one person caught my attention, hence the reason for my meeting with them. “Sir, should I let her in?” my secretary asked. I lifted my head. “Yes, please.” She exited the office and the next time the door was opened, a woman wearing a blue pantsuit walked in. She exuded confidence as she held her head high. It was good, considering most people would be afraid to stand before me. Yet, she was different. She wasn’t afraid. She bowed. “Good day, your majesty.” “It’s sir.” I corrected. I gestured to the seat across from my desk. “Please, sit.” “Thank you.” When she sat down, she moved her auburn colored hair away from her face, looking back at me through hazel eyes. “So, what is your name?” “Scarlett R

ELENA’S POINT OF VIEW Why was it so hard to believe my innocence? “Because they choose not to.” I blinked, bringing myself to reality. Kai was seated beside me, scrolling through his phone I so wished was in my hands. “Did you respond to my thought?” He didn’t look at me. “You were thinking really loudly.” “Sorry.” I sunk deeper into the couch. “It’s just that I am tired of staying in here, doing absolutely nothing.” He dropped his phone on the center table and turned to me. “You haven’t been doing absolutely nothing. You’ve been annoying the hell out of me.” “You wouldn’t give me your cellphone.” I reasoned. “And I won’t even if you continue begging.” I sighed. “Fine. I guess it’s us two ladies in a house.” “What does that mean?” I looked him dead in the eye. “You’re being a pussy.” Okay. I had been around Kai for some weeks now, and I always knew he was a handsome fellow. I just never paid much attention. Blame my predicament. Now was a different kind of predicament, th
The Red Wedding Chapter 35
KAI’S POINT OF VIEW Elena was all I could think of, despite the distraction from Jay and Ricky. I couldn’t stop myself from thinking about her naïve she was. Sometimes I wondered if she actually wanted to get caught by Ryder and the police. She made me wonder if she really wanted to prove her innocence. “Dude, isn’t it time for you to go home? Elena has been all by herself and it’s 9p.m. already. She must feel lonely.” Jay reasoned. I chugged the remaining liquor in my glass and closed my eyes. “I told her I’d be back late. She’s probably asleep or watching TV.” We breathed in and out the comfortable silence for a while until Arianna broke it as she jogged down the stairs with her cellphone in her hand. “Guys!” She waved her phone in the air. Jay went to his girlfriend. “Babe, is something wrong?” “We have a problem.” “What problem?” Ricky questioned. “It’s about Elena.” I shot up. “What happened to her? Is she okay?” “I’m afraid not. Elena is in police custody a
