“And? Is that enough?” Elena’s hands shook as she blinked and waited for the detective’s response.When Detective George and the NYPD had reached out to her after the interview about her case, she had been heavily skeptical. Explaining plainly that she wanted nothing to do with them but Marco had calmed her down and simply convinced her to change her mind.Weeks later, sitting across from the detective in her fancy dress and heels, she felt nothing but gratitude. To Marco for convincing her and to the police for caring enough to help.“Yes,” The detective tapped his laptop to pause the video and stared at her intently. “I don’t know what you did to get your hands on this video but you just turned this entire case,”Elena let out a heavy breath she didn’t realize she had been holding. “S..she can get tried?”“Yes,” The detective gave a nod. “She’ll be tried for murder and attempted murder, seeing as the original recipient of the attack was you. Your sister was just the victim,”Elena’s

Chapter 86.Elena sat in the front seat of the car staring out the window with unseeing eyes. Somewhere around her, she registered Marco talking to the detective and answering questions about the location change and if they’d known about the bomb. She knew she should speak up.Maybe tell the detective how every inch of her hated Marcel but she had never wished him death. She hated him so much, even now in his death. Did that make her a bad person?“I don’t understand it,’’ Elena heard Francesca say to Marco in a low voice. “If he planted the bomb then how’d he die? What? He just forgot he was carrying a bomb and decided to chill in the warehouse till it exploded?”“No, nothing like that. It was a time issue. They can’t be certain but from initial analysis, the bomb timer malfunctioned and went off earlier than programmed.Elara felt a hand on her shoulder and jerked. “Miss, it’s only me,” Kim, her secretary sighed sadly. “You need to let Walter drive you back home. You need to rest

Chapter 88 “It’s not his fault,” Elena shook her head at Marco, emotionlessly. “He was meant to watch you!” Marco hissed. “It’s the first time you’ve stepped out properly in weeks and he couldn’t protect you,” “Marco it’s just a scratch,” Elena murmured her thanks to the nurse dressing her arm. “I’m fine. Walter isn’t the bad guy here and you know it,” “She’ll be fine,” The nurse smiled at Marco as she dropped Elena’s hand gently. “We just have to dress the wound for a few more days. I’ll give her something to help with the pain. Hopefully, in a week, the pain will be completely gone,” Marco sighed and gave her a nod. “Thank you,” Elena and Marco watched silently as the nurse gave them a nod and walked out of the room. The minute they were alone, Elena turned to Marco. “How is she? What did the doctor say?” “Her legs were really damaged so they rushed her into the theatre the minute the ambulance got here,” He glanced at his watch. “She’s been in surgery for a few hours now. Le

Chelsea was mad. Or crazy. Elena couldn’t decide which one as she watched the woman’s shiny eyes.This wasn’t Chelsea Rodriguez, the intelligent arch enemy she’d had since childhood. This woman was something else, bordering on the edge of insanity.“What’s wrong with her?” Elena asked her secretary as she watched Chelsea respond to the judges’s few questions.“I’m not sure,” Kim sighed and shook her head. “At the first trial, I thought she was putting on an act but now, it’s obvious to anyone that she’s lost it. Maybe guilt from all her evil deeds or the pain of losing the child she longed for,”Elena’s fingers shook but she twisted them and kept them on her lap as the judge slammed the gavel to bring utter silence to the courtroom.“The accused has been found guilty…”The court went up in uproar as the spectators cheered loudly while Elena just sat in silence staring at Chelsea’s wheelchair.“Order!” The judge tried to get the court silent again as she hit the gavel.“...guilty of at

Elena looked across the terrace where Marco and DaSilva were still deep in conversation. The two of them were secluded from the entire family and seemed to be talking about something serious.She tried to pretend like it didn’t bother her. She failed.“Maybe try being more subtle?” Vicker, Marco’s cousin teased her with an amused smile.Elena’s cheeks pinkened and she dropped the book she had been pretending to read. “Am I that obvious?” He chuckled and gave Elena a nod. “Pretty much. But it’s alright. You’re marrying him in four days. It would be strange if you weren’t worried,”“But should I be?” Elena frowned. “Do I have a reason to be worried? Who exactly is she?”“I’m sure grandfather already told you,” Vicker replied with a shrug. “She’s Marco’s childhood best friend. I’ve always known her, how exactly they met is fuzzy, but they were always inseparable, we all thought for sure they would be getting married but…” Vicker trailed off.“But what?” Elena asked, her interest now piq
