The warm morning breeze hit against my face as I stepped out into my balcony. The days seemed to get hotter and hotter and I was just about so close to using the pool. When would summer be over?Few men were littered around the back trying to fix the fallen wall from last night. My body cringed when I remembered the awful noise of a car hitting against something and the way I felt someone was watching me. Who does that anyway. What a creep! I hope they find him soon.I went back into my room to put on my robe and brush my teeth before walking down the stairs. Lucas was there with Lara. He was relaxing against the kitchen counter while she was chopping vegetables."Good morning Lara" I said when she spotted me. Lucas turned to me before smiling."Look who had a goodnight rest" he grinned."Only because you were there" I smiled and then frowned when I thought about what I just said.

"Ellie would like to go on a little excercise sometimes. At least an hour per day. You seem to have a good amount of land and lawn, so Mrs Grayson can give her some walks. Then she won't be any trouble" Will said.I looked over at Ellie who was trying to get a mouthful of my dress into her mouth. I didn't try to stop her, just enjoyed watching her.Ryan chose the perfect moment to drive into the yard and we could see him through the glass doors as he carried a crate from the back of the Jeep."As long as she has all her supplies, she'll be good" Will handed Lucas a paper. I'm not sure what's on it but Lucas looked thoughtful before signing it.I watched as Harry and Larry helped carry Ellie's supply into the house. The supplies constituted of 3, 40 pounds of dog food, mesh bag of toys and of course, her bedding.Ryan came in next with a Durapet stainless steel dog bowl and placed it in fro

I held Ellie's leash so she doesn't go all wild on him. After all, we don't know why he's here. Maybe he's visiting a friend or family. He looks nicely dressed and not in a black leather with mask covering his face."Oh hi Jacob"He smiled showing off his teeth. More like grin."Didn't think I'd see you so soon but it's just my luck" He smiled."I'm flattered." Ellie was still growling but she doesn't have a look on her face or stance that promises death. "What are you doing here anyway?""I own a house here" he said with raised brow and a smile. Then that's a good thing then."That's nice. This region is known for having the best houses" I smiled."Yeah, sadly, it's not as nice as yours" he grinned and I flinched. How does he know where I live? I fiddled around with my feet.No need to make assumptions Elaine. He's probably just

My alarm went off and I shoved my blonde hair away from my face. I slept off with a terrible headache last night. After going through those papers and sticker notes Lucas sent to me, I tried to find possibilities and facts that Jacob killed Ethan. I just couldn't find any.I rolled out of bed finally and slowly so I don't trigger whatever pain there is left in my head. Ellie sat upright and stuck her tongue out. She insisted on laying on my bed last night and I didn't have the strength to fight with her.My phone chimed with a message and I reached by my bedside to get it.Lucas: Good morning :)I don't know Lucas to use smiley faces. He looks like a big buff guy who'd use emojis with caps and leather jacket. If there were any. Morning. :)He didn't waste any time to reply.What do you have planned today?

Chapter 25

Death Of A Rivera/Keren Michael

I don't know what I was doing telling Nicole I'd babysit Autumn whenever they weren't home. Getting too close to them could hurt me. If one Rivera finds out I'm Elaine, I won't be able to prove my Innocence, cause I'll be back in jail.Nicole was looking at me like she'd just been free from a honey nest. She smiled and clapped her hands together."Oh thank you Tiff" she rolled her eyes sarcastically. "Finding a suitable sitter for Autumn wasn't easy but now your helping, I know I don't have to worry" she smiled.Of course she doesn't have to worry. Autumn is my baby but she doesn't need to know that."I'm sure it's no problem." I nodded my head toward the little girl rolling all over the grass with Ellie and I grinned. "She's a darling""That's right she is. Which is why I and Cooper are thinking of adopting her in the falls" Nicole said and I choked on my tea. So soon?I

Chapter 26

Death Of A Rivera/Keren Michael

I know when I have a headache because it's the most terrifying pain you could ever feel in a short moment before it leaves. I felt a little bit stuffy and tried to remove the blanket from my body but a searing pain knocked my head.Damn! I didn't even drink much. It was Jacob's fault. He lured me into having a drink with him and then from there, we had drinks. I know I shouldn't be drinking cause my gun wound hasn't fully been healed but...I just got caught up in the moment.I finally dragged the blanket off of me and rolled to my side. I shit my eyes immediately I face the window. The sun was so bright and my windows where wide opened.There was a shuffling noise by the couch and I turned my head to tell Ellie to be quiet but I gasped when I saw Lucas.Or I'm just hallucinating? It's the third day but I didn't expect him to be home so early. I smiled."Hey you""

Chapter 27

I felt Ellie stir close to me at the early hours of the morning. If she weren't a dog, I'd say she was heating up. Yesterday, after Lara's bursting in and telling me and Lucas that Ellie was sick, Lucas called the Vet immediately. It was just a case of stomach ache.It appeared she ate something sugary or something harmful to her. The vet said it could have been poison."Ellie, good girl" I ran my hands through her soft hair slowly and heard her gave a little howl.BANG! BANG!Ellie sprung up on her feet in seconds and I jumped out of bed too and laid on the floor. It is usually the wisest thing to do during gunshots. You can never tell where the bullets are headed.I heard Lucas door bang shut and I was happy he was coming but I heard his footsteps hurry down the stairs. He must have assumed I was still sleeping but I was awake. wide awake.I crawled to the door

Lucas sat beside me and took my hand in his. I don't think I've ever seen so much emotion go through him before and now he's doing it, it has me warm inside so I smiled. Like a really happy smile."You two are a wonderful couple" Mrs Simpson breaks our a little moment and I chuckled nervously. I knew my cheeks were ruddy and all so I just turned to Penny instead to hide my embarrassment."Thank you" Lucas speaks for both of us and I was really grateful for that."So, Mrs Simpson. Are you ready to tell us what happened?" Lucas asked the older woman and she was quiet for a while as if thinking her answer before she smiled with a nod."Yes. I think it's better I tell someone" she said. "Penny, get them something to drink" She said to her granddaughter and the girl rushed off. An obedient loving girl. I wonder if she knows Autumn.Living in a mansion, you don't even realize you have neig

Chapter 29

Death Of A Rivera/Keren Michael

The sight of the building rushing by us was thrilling. I didn't believe I'll miss city life so much. I mean, I've been locked up in the mansion for more than a month. The only people I speak with are Lara, the twins,Riley which I rarely see and of course Lucas.I won't say I was locked up against my will because I know it's for my own good. The reason I'm even out today is because I and Lucas are taking Ellie to the Vet. She seemed to be having a lot of slip-ups. Last night, she woke me up with a whine and turning around."Do you think we could also see Ash before we get back?" I asked Lucas and he had an amused look on his face."Elaine, you're not a prisoner. You can see whoever you want as long as you're careful"I tightened my fist together. How come I never knew this! I would have gone out a lot of times. Seriously, I thought he made it clear that I shouldn't

Chapter 30

Death Of A Rivera/Keren Michael

The night could've chosen a better way to end but no, there just had to go ahead and be a noise at my balcony side. I sat up against the headboard and strained my eyes at the balcony side. It was dark outside and I had left the window opened because of the heat and now, I'm terribly regretting that decision. Ellie did not even stay with me last night. She was too sick to walk up the stairs and I was too tired to lift her hairy big body.Asking who was there was definitely a bad idea and I'm affirmative that someone is at my balcony. There was another movement and I crawled out of bed careful not to make a sound. Could it be the robber from that night? Or Mr Simpsons murderer. What does he want from me?I slipped my feet into my slipper and slowly walked to the door but before I could reach the handle, the cocking of a gun was head.°°°°°I turned around slowly to see a man in blac
