The Secret in His Gaming Room Chapter 9
“Nora, you’re pretty impressive,” Miles said.I said nothing.“I spent three years planning everything, but I never thought you’d be the one to bring me down.”He shook his head.“Do you know why I chose you?”“Why?” I asked.“Because you were stupid.”Miles smiled without a hint of shame.“You were so easy to fool, believing everything I told you. When I said I wanted to turn the study into a gaming room, you didn’t even question it. When I forbade you to enter, you actually stayed away for three whole years.”After a pause, he continued, “But the stupidest thing you ever did was go to Leah. Do you even know who she is?”I froze.“Leah, why don’t you tell her who you really are?”When Leah stayed silent, he continued, “You won’t tell her? Fine. I’ll tell her myself.”Miles leaned against the wall, grinning like a madman.“Leah’s real name is Leanna Sheridan. Her father is Jeremy Sheridan. Fifteen years ago, Jeremy was sentenced to twelve years in prison for corruption an

“Okay,” I replied.After Miles left, I closed the door and leaned against it, my heart pounding.Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang. When I opened the door, Leah stood outside with four uniformed police officers, including Charlene.“Nora,” Leah said, holding up a search warrant. “We are here to conduct a lawful search of your home. Please cooperate with us.”I nodded and stepped aside to let them in.The officers entered the living room and headed straight for the gaming room. Leah pushed open the door and went inside, followed by the others.I stood in the doorway, staring at the room I had been forbidden to enter for three years.The room was sparsely furnished. It contained a desk, a laptop, a projector, a projection screen, and a safe.Leah turned on the laptop and connected an external hard drive. The projector flickered to life, displaying an image on the screen.It was Zoe.She sat in a chair with a tablet in front of her. As she stared at the tablet, her expression

Leah’s voice was calm.“There were supplementary materials in the file claiming that Mr. Lillard was the one who had taken the bribes and that my father had been framed. “They included Mr. Lillard’s bank statements, transfer records, and an audio recording that sounded like him discussing how to split the money with someone.”“Was it fake?” I asked.“Yes, but I almost believed it.”Leah looked at me.“The voice in that recording sounded so much like Mr. Lillard. I listened to it carefully several more times just now before realizing that it had been spliced together. “Like everyone else from Torwick, Mr. Lillard has a distinctive upward lilt at the ends of his sentences, but the recording lacked it.”I tried to speak, but no words came out.“My hands were shaking when I left the room,” Leah continued. “I kept thinking that if Mr. Lillard had really done something like that, what had all those years of studying to become a prosecutor, investigating cases, and working late int

Leah started the car.“But first, you need to help me put on an act.”“What kind of act?”“Miles thinks I’m taking you away for questioning, so he’ll let his guard down. We need him to believe his plan is flawless and that he has you completely under his control.”“So, when I go back…”“Act devastated, obedient, and hopeless. Do whatever he tells you to do, but remember…”Her voice grew stern.“Don’t sign any documents or give him any authorization, and don’t go anywhere alone with him. Keep your phone on at all times.”I nodded.“One more thing.”Leah opened the car door.“I’ll explain things to Mr. Lillard. He hit you because he saw the fake evidence, but he was a veteran detective. Once I show him the truth, he’ll understand.”“Dad… He almost beat me to death.”Leah walked around the front of the car, opened the rear door, and patted my hand.“He was manipulated, too. Everyone involved in this has been a victim. Miles is the only one to blame.”I took a deep breath an

Miles leaned against the gaming room doorframe, watching us with a faint, almost imperceptible smile.“What’s going on, Miss Sheridan?” he asked casually. “Nora still hasn’t fully recovered.”Leah ignored him. She fixed her eyes on me, her expression as cold as her voice.“Nora, you’re coming with me.”My legs felt so weak that I could barely stand. I tried to speak, but something seemed lodged in my throat, and not a single word came out.“Let’s go.” Leah stepped forward and grabbed my arm, gripping it tightly.Behind us, Miles called out, “Nora, keep your phone on. Call me if anything comes up!”Leah did not even look back.Once we were downstairs, she ushered me into the back seat of a black sedan, then slid behind the wheel and started the engine.She drove out of the residential complex and onto the main road, then finally glanced at me in the rearview mirror.“Don’t speak, and don’t look back.”I stayed silent and gripped my seat belt tightly.About twenty minutes l

A barrage of questions came at me all at once, but I had just woken up, and my mind was still blank.Miles walked over and stepped in front of the cameras.“Everyone, my wife just woke up and needs to rest. The truth will come to light eventually. Please give us some privacy for now.”The reporters filed out, leaving Miles and me alone in the hospital room.I stared at him.“What exactly do you want from me?”He sat beside my bed and peeled an apple for me.“Nora, let’s make a deal.”“What deal?”“From now on, you’re not to make any more friends or investigate what’s in that room. Just keep your head down and live peacefully with me,” he said.“What happens then?”“Then, we’ll pretend the whole thing with the gaming room never happened.”“What if I refuse?”He smiled, set the apple on my bedside table, then stood up and patted my cheek.“I’ll leak everything in that room to the press, piece by piece. Once I do, you’ll have a lot more to worry about than a few nasty commen
