It's close to evening and I should be retiring back home but I still have something to do. Something to investigate. Diana is in the kitchen making smoothie with the housekeeper, Delaney. I've put Autumn to bed and I'm hoping that Mrs Rivera is taking a nap since it's close to dinner time.The door to Cooper and Nicole's room is surprisingly not locked. I figured Nicole as the type of woman to hide so many things, therefore putting a lock on the door. I push opened the door and slipped in. There's got to be something here that's going to help me find Ethan's murderer.I close the door and move to the drawers by the bed. I'd be damned if I get caught and it could ruin my whole cover but I'm willing to take that risk. Nicole is hiding something. Nothing Autumn said tied to Nicole killing Ethan but now, I just have a bad vibe about her. She's trying to take my daughter, and I won't let her. The cunning snake might just have other secrets.

"It's been years since we saw, Ashley" Diana smiled at my very blonde friend. "I remember when we used to have drinks and have fun together"Ashley shrugged. "It's actually been a while, Yeah"So, it was beggining to get awkward and I don't want to stand anymore cause my feet is hurting me and I crave some more fruit punch. "How about we all just seat and talk" I suggest and Diana buys it immediately. She takes the seat next to mine."What exactly are we talking about?" Ash asked with so much sass. I get the feeling she's not happy about Diana being here and I don't know why."Everything" I say but she lowers her head shaking it. "I came here so we could discuss the way forward" Ash hummed with annoyance. "Not chit-chat about fucking old times""Ash!" I snap and she looks away with a frown."It's ok if you want me to leave, Ash. I understand why you're mad at me" Diana cal

Lucas big hands grip my thighs and wrap my legs round his waist. We kiss hotly, moving against each other. I feel my body heating up, my arms come up to hold his neck to me when he transfers his lips from my lip to my neck. I moan, rolling my head back, feeling so ecstatic and light headed. We're really doing this."Elaine..." Lucas scruff voice is behind my ear and I shut my eyes, trailing my hand up and down his arm. His fingers fiddle with the knot on my nightgown until it came undone and I shrug the thing off leaving me in ink the gown.I raise his head up and kiss him, my kind going blank. Oh for goodness sake! My left leg comes round his body  and he pulls away from me to take his shirt off. My eyes hour to his times chest and when he comes back to me, I don't delay in placing my palms against them.Our eyes are locked as he pulls the straps of my lace gown down my arms slowly until my breasts is revealed. He li

"It's of you, Ethan and Mr Rivera" I say and his eyes settle on the picture in my hand. I wait for his reply but he just walks to me and collects the picture from me."What were you doing snooping through my stuffs?" He sounds angry...sort of. Because he's not looking at me, his head is bent as he stares long and hard at the picture."I was bored"He drops the picture and starts walking away but I pull at his arms."Explain it. You can't just walk away like that!""I already told you. We were friends" He grips but I don't let go of his hand."What? You were friends with Mr Rivera too?""Stop playing cards games in your head. This has nothing to do with Ethan"I glare into his eyes and he's eyes are relaxed, pleasing with me to understand and not to push him too at. But I just want to know what's going on. I'm tired if things happening arou

"I can't believe I'm actually doing this". I huff, turning to Lucas. He has a slight smile on his face and I try to guess what he is thinking. If course! He's finding all these very funny but it's not to me."What are you nervous about?" He asks me."Meeting your mom and that's just one. Two, what if I'm recognised"He pulls me into his arms, kissing the tip of my head. "Honey, it's a mask ball. I'm pretty sure no one would know anyone"Oh yeah! Curse my little brain for not thinking ahead. But still, I can't wear a mask while greeting his mom. She'd just think I'm weird. And what if that girl, Lucas used to like is at he ball, would it make all this more awkward. Why ask? Yes, it would've awkward."I see you're nervous but my mom don't bite.""It's not your mom anymore" I pout and he reaches down to kiss my lips."What then?"I bite on my
