CHAPTER THIRTY TWONICKOLASI keep on looking at her as she realizes exactly who I am talking about.“NO. Are you trying to tell me? Her?”I nod my head in approval“Yes. Ingrid is your mother.”“Wait a second. That means when we went to see her you knew and didn’t say anything to me.”“I felt that would be a lot to talk about at the time.”I know that if I tell her the exact reason why I could not tell her at that time she is going to hate me for life. Seeing her right now I can see how effective my revenge would have been. Robert took the glory from me by telling her but this is still how it would have played out if I had told her.So why am I feeling this way? This guilt creeping up on me as I look at her scattered hair and the messed up mascara on her face as she wipes her nose with my handkerchief. Why do I feel this need to console her?All through the drive here this thought was on my mind. I should be happy right now but for some strange reason I am not. Here I am consoling t

CHAPTER THIRTY FOURNICKOLASI enter into my apartment to see Scot sitting on my couch with his legs crossed. The judgemental look he is giving me is crazy but some reason it makes me want to laugh as well.“Hi.” I say. The guilt in my voice is evident. I was not expecting him to still be here when I came back but Immediately I turned the key in the doorknob and it was loose. I knew he was still here.I dread this conversation we are about to have. I do not want to tell him that I think I have now fallen for this girl who I came here to seek revenge on and who I have kept on insisting is my enemy. A part of me knows he has already figured it out hence the judgemental looks he is throwing my way.He motions for me to take a seat without even saying a word.I sit down and look at him and we both sit in silence. This is something he always did to me, just sit and wait for me to croak under the silence. Scot is extremely manipulative but then he is my friend and I know him better than any

CHAPTER THIRTY SIXNICKOLASAs I ascend the stairs to my apartment, all I can think of is how the person that could have aided in this investigation is dead and it is all because of me. If he had not reached out he probably would still be alive right now. I can not stop running down possibilities in my head. Who killed him? I already know the answer to this one or rather I have an idea of who it is since I do not still have any valid proof to support my claim but definitely one names keeps on popping in my head. Robert.He definitely has to be behind this, I mean there is no other explanation for this. But then how did he find out about the meeting? How did he know what we were talking about? Does he have somebody following me? No that can not be possible I check my surroundings every single day so the leak definitely did not come from me. It has to be the informant.I do not even have an idea who the guy is or rather was. I can not even think of the next step to take now that this

CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHTNICKOLASI bang on Ingrid’s door one more time. All through the drive here I keep on praying that I am wrong about what I think and the call from Lily was not referring to her but at the back of my mind I know.All through the car drive here I keep on thinking of what could have happened. Everything seems to be happening so fast and it is becoming hard for me to wrap my mind around a lot of things. I have to take things one step at a time, first I have to deal with this.Scot hits on the door as well.“Ingrid!” I shout. “Lily!” “Is anybody home?” Scot yells.We both know they are inside because the security guard confirmed it earlier. He had seen Lily enter earlier but had not seen her leave yet. “I am going to break it down.” I say to Scot.“Is that not a bit too rash? Maybe they are indeed not inside.” He sees the reaction on my face as soon as he says this and he quickly quietens down. I am in no mood to be second guessing things like this and besides if I a

CHAPTER FOURTYNICKOLAS This is the time to take actionThis is the only thought in my mind as I walk into the building with purpose. No one stops me at first as I walk with authority through the doors of the office building. The security probably think I own the place and none of them dare to stop me even though they have never seen me before.I see the receptionist at the desk, I should probably ask her for directions to the office I am looking for. But then again, if I do that she is definitely going to know I do not belong in the building and it will be way harder to get in. I need to talk to him, this is one of the cards I have been amassing over the past month and it is time to play it. My eyes and that of the receptionists meet briefly as I pause in the hallway of the building thinking of my next course of action. She watches me for a while as I try to make up my mind on whether to take the steps or the elevator. “May I help you with something?” She finally asks, as she look
