KAI’S POINT OF VIEW I was entirely restless. Ryder would not let me see Elena or tell me how she was doing. He knew it was killing me inside that I did not know what was happening to her, and he enjoyed it. It made me upset, yet there was nothing I could do. He had the right to deny me access to see her. Despite his constant refusal, I waited outside his office. I was told he stepped out with his worker. I just needed to see her once and know if she was okay. If she was conscious, I wanted to know what her next plan was.“Sir, you might have to leave and return tomorrow.” A woman told me, holding out a glass of water for me to take. I did not know what her duty was here, but she was nice. “I don’t think he’ll come back here until tomorrow.”I took the water from her. “I don’t mind waiting.”“Alright. Please let me know if you need anything else.”“Thank you.”I drank from the water and let out a sigh. Where on earth did he go to with his secretary?I took out my phone fro

KAI’S POINT OF VIEW Days had gone by and there was nothing from Elena or Alistair. He did not send anyone a message concerning Elena’s wellbeing or if she had woken up or not. It was driving me insane. Arianna and Ricky were with me in the police station as we awaited a report from the police that always turned negative. At a point, Ryder refused to believe I, Ricky and Jay knew nothing of Elena’s disappearance until we gave him a list of properties we owned in Ordene as we were certain she was still in the country. After checking everything, he changed his mind. A little, by the way. He still believed I had other friends that were hiding her from him. “Chief, is there anything?” Annalise asked, stroking Mirabel’s head. “Nothing yet, Miss Sanchez.” He took off his glasses and placed them on his desk. “My men are doing everything they can to find the both of them.” “Do more, chief.” She continued, “We can’t leave Mirabel at home anymore because we’re afraid she can come

ELENA’S POINT OF VIEW It wasn’t hard to get a taxi in this part of town. I figured I was in Diamond Avenue while I was still in Alistair’s house. I was familiar with the area. While in the taxi, trying to ignore the driver’s occasional glances, I dialed Kai’s number. Alistair had given it to me yesterday. “Please pick up.” I whispered, tapping my foot impatiently. Two rings after, he answered. “Hello? Who is this?” My heart fluttered when I heard his voice. Get it together! Now wasn’t the time to swoon over a man’s voice. “Kai, it’s me.” “Elena?” “Elena?” That was Ryder’s voice. They were together. “Yes, it’s me.” “Where are you right now?” I couldn’t miss the worry in his voice. “We’ve been looking everywhere for you.” “I am in a taxi. I’m going to the house.” “I’m not home, but I can go home right away.” “No. I’ll come to you. Where are you?” “I’m at the police station where you were detained. Ryder is here.” “That’s perfect. I’ll be there soon.” “Be safe.
The Red Wedding Chapter 40
Later that day, it was just Kai and me in the house. We’d had dinner and gone to our separate rooms just like before I was taken away, yet I could not close my eyes and sleep. I tossed and turned on the bed. Maybe I would sleep better if I were with Kai.Whoa! Hold it, woman.Where did that thought come from?“Milk.” I got up from the bed and arranged my robe. “Warm milk should help.”I put on my flip-flops and left the room. As I went down the stairs, I couldn’t help but feel like I was lying to myself. I knew what I wanted, so what was stopping me from turning around and heading for his room?“Elena,” I inhaled deeply. “Man up and go in there. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind.”I took uncertain steps towards his room, hoping to be as stealthy as possible, just in case I didn’t have the courage to go in. I stopped in front of his room, stared at the door for who knows how long before knocking.“Kai?”There was no response.“Are you asleep already?”I knocked again and, like before; he did n

ELENA’S POINT OF VIEW I laid on Ryder’s bed with my phone in hand as I scrolled through the hilarious and sometimes cringe worthy videos on TikTok until I received a text. It was from Quinn. She probably got it from the police or something.Quinn: I’m outside.Please come meet me. I want to talk.The nerve she had to send me a text message after what she did to me. She had another thing coming if she thought I would leave the comfort of this bed to see her betraying bitch face. I ignored the text and continued watching some more TikTok. Maybe I would create my own TikTok account or maybe a YouTube channel to react to these videos since I was sure as hell I would never get my old job back.Another text popped in.Quinn: Don’t ignore me. Please come outside. She was starting to get on my nerve. Again, I ignored her text.Safe to say for the next few minutes, text after text continuously annoyed me. She was relentless.Another text came in and that was it. I was going to giv

I am not a lawyer or a law student. Please remember what goes on below is just me trying to be an author. No hate, please. The next two weeks went by smoothly and how I wanted until I got a letter from the court. I was expected to be at Annalise’s and Alistair’s court hearing. It was a Monday morning and Kai and I were already dressed and on our way to the courthouse. He would steal glances at me as he drove, probably checking to see if I was okay. I was not.When he parked the car on arrival, it became worse. A plethora of things ran through my head at the thought of seeing the two criminals who made my life a living hell. It made me uneasy. Kai stepped out of the car and I was the same, still unable to pull myself together. I was a mess internally.He went around the car and stopped in front of me. “Are you nervous?”“Yes.” I swallowed thickly, rubbing my hand on the pencil maroon skirt I was wearing. “I don’t want to be here.”“I’ll be right beside you the whole time. D
The Red Wedding Chapter 43
“I call Charles Grayson to the witness stand.”The police chief went out of the courtroom and when he returned, he walked in with a man whose hands were cuffed. The man was of average height and his hair was a dark brown. I didn’t like his kind of vibe. They took him to the witness stand where he swore to tell the truth.“Your honor, this is Charles. He was detained for weeks after confessing that my client, Elena, was his boss and that she ordered them to go to Hawaii, where Isabella and his majesty were to wed. He admitted having lied and will tell the court the truth since his actual boss did not keep to her promise.”So he was the asshole who told lies to the police and Ryder. I suddenly had the urge to slap him into Christmas Eve.“Please proceed with your questions.”Elvira walked over to Charles. “Mr. Charles, did you tell a lie to the police when you were detained?”“Yes, I did.”“Please tell the court why you reconsidered.”He stared at Annalise as he answered. “B
The Red Wedding Chapter 44
I did not waste a single second more with him. I walked around him and made my way to the courtroom. When I went in, I saw Kai, Ricky and Jay speaking to Elvira while Arianna busied herself by speaking to Scarlett.“Congratulations, Elena.” Elvira told me, holding out her hand for me to shake once I had gotten close to them.“Thank you for doing a great job. I appreciate it so much.”“You don’t have to thank me for anything. You deserve happiness.”I gave her a smile. “Thanks.”She averted her eyes to Kai. “I can guarantee they’ll get at least twenty years of prison time, so they won’t bother you for a long time.”Twenty years wasn’t much, but it was okay for me. I just wanted them to suffer and pay for their crimes.“It’s good enough.” Kai responded.“The judge will be in soon.” She informed us. “I’ll go to my seat now.”“Okay.”Kai and I returned to our seats, and this time, Quinn was nowhere to be seen. Good for her. I didn’t want to see her betraying face. It irritated me.The bai
