The Scandal In Room 214 Chapter 104
CandaceHarper closed the folder in front of her without reaching for another one. She simply looked across the desk at me.“Are you ready to stop staring at the same spot? You haven’t even touched the water.”I looked down at my hands, still wrapped around the paper cup of water she’d given me when I arrived.“I know.”I looked at the cup, then took a small sip.Harper waited. The office was quiet except for the soft hum of the air conditioner.“I think I’m pregnant.”She smiled from ear to ear. “Oh my goodness, Candace, that’s wonderful news.” The look on my face must have said otherwise because she tilted her head. “Or maybe not? Have you taken a test, just to confirm?”I nodded.“How many?”“Two.”“And?”I looked at the floor. “Both were positive.”Harper gave me a moment before asking, “When did you take them?”“Last night.”“And you’ve been sitting with that since then? You should have called me or spoken to someone.”She reached across the desk and pushed the tissue box closer

CandaceThe second line was there.The bathroom was quiet except for the sound of the tap dripping beside me. I reached for the test, wondering if I had read it wrong, and turned it around to look at the instructions before looking back at the result.Two lines.“No.”Putting the test down and reached for the paper bag beneath the sink. There was another test inside.I pulled it out, leaving the first one on the counter. I read the instructions again, slower this time, and carefully followed each step before placing the second test beside the first.I waited without sitting or moving, keeping my eyes on the counter. A line appeared, then another.I swallowed.Both tests sat beside each other, each showing the same result.Two lines.Stepping backwards, my legs gave out before I could reach the door. I landed on the bathroom floor, the tiles cold through my clothes. For several seconds, I simply sat there with my eyes fixed on the counter. The tests hadn’t moved, and the lines hadn’t d

CandaceMy phone rang before I could even argue with Jake. I pulled it from my bag, and my mother’s name appeared on the screen.I answered immediately. “Mom?”“Candy, can you and Jake get over here?”The wedding planner had spread fabric samples across the dining table. There was ivory, champagne, and a softer shade of white that apparently had a name I couldn’t remember. My mother picked up one of the cards and held it out.“This one.”Jake leaned forward to look. “I like that one.”The planner smiled. “Good. Then we’re narrowing it down.”I reached for the card, but the room shifted slightly. My hand landed flat against the table.“Candace? You haven’t eaten.” I looked up. My mother was watching me.The plate in front of me. “I’m fine…I had breakfast.”“That was hours ago.”I picked up my fork and pushed a piece of fruit around the plate. “I’ll eat later.”The planner continued talking about flowers. Something about the arrangements needing to match the venue. She showed us another

CandaceI found Annalise She was standing beside the window, reading something on her phone, with one hand resting against the edge of the desk. When she noticed me, she slipped the phone into her bag and turned her attention to me.“Candace.”“Hi. Sorry, but can we talk?”Her expression didn’t change. “I assume this is about Elias?”“Yes.”She looked toward the chairs near the wall and rolled her eyes before taking one herself. “Sit.”“Excuse me, but I’d rather stand.”“All right.”She folded her hands in front of her and settled back in the chair. I stayed where I was, trying not to let the irritation building in my chest show on my face.“Do you know why Mr Sterling isn't still in class?” I asked.“I told you yesterday. He’s dealing with personal matters. And from what I've heard, y'all are getting a new replacement.” She reached for her water bottle and uncapped it before taking a drink. “Isn’t that why you’re looking for him? No other reason?”There was something different in her

CandaceFor a few days after the family dinner, I thought things were getting better. Not completely, because nothing between Elias and me had ever been completely normal, but he had started talking to me again.It wasn’t much, but after weeks of barely getting anything from him, when he stopped again, it felt odd.His first unanswered message didn’t bother me. I told myself he was probably busy and would answer when he had time. The second one bothered me more, and by the third, I was staring at my phoneunlocking it again and checking the conversation, even though I already knew there was nothing new.Nothing.I typed another message.Are you okay?I watched the message send and waited for the little indication that he had seen it. It never came. After several minutes, I put my phone down and tried to focus on something else. A few hours later, I picked it up again, hoping I had somehow missed a response.Still nothing.I called him that evening. The phone rang and rang until the ca

AnnaliseElias stood in the doorway with his phone in his hand. For a few seconds, neither of us moved. His eyes went from me to the photographs behind him and then back to me.“You’ve been keeping files on me.”I closed the door behind me. “I didn’t intend for you to find them.”“That isn’t an answer.”“No. It isn’t.”He held up his phone. “I have photographs of everything in there.”“I assumed you would.”His mouth pressed into a thin line. “You’ve been following me.”“I’ve kept records.”“That’s what you’re calling it?”“I don’t think the name matters.”“It does to me.”He stepped away from the doorway. “How long?”I didn’t answer immediately. His eyes stayed on my face.“How long have you been collecting information about me?”“Some of it is old.”“That wasn’t my question.”“No.”I walked past him and set my glass down on the table. “I’ve known you for a long time, Elias. Some of those things were never thrown away. Others were collected later.”“Collected.”“Yes.”He gave a quiet
