ELINNAThere was a whole SWAT team outside and they were having issues getting in because obviously the men at the gate weren't just going to let a bunch of police men come into the house like they owned the place. I could see that guns were already being pointed at each other and if I didn't step in, very soon bullets would start flying around. “Put your gun down! Don't threaten a police officer!” “No! You put your gun down, you're in my house!” Screw me. Why wasn't Carlisle here to deal with this? “Gentlemen, please relax! Everybody, put your guns down!” No one budged. So I turned to the ones I knew would listen to me. My men put their guns down and so did the SWAT officers. “Gentlemen, I would assume there is a very good reason for the nuisance that's being constituted in my home this early morning. Why would you barge in? What if my baby was sleeping?” One of them stepped forward and handed me a piece of paper. “Mrs Elinna Evergreen, we have a warrant for your arrest. You

ELINNAI stood by as they came and wanted to take Lawrence away but the Lawyers stopped them and said that they had to consult with rh doctors first. Thankfully, the doctor understood the situation and said that Lawrence was in no way supposed to leave the bed. So they brought their camera and everything into his room. I couldn't be in the room while the investigation was going on so I just paced around outside while my mind ran wild. I knew Lawrence was smart so he wouldn't say anything that would implicate us..My mind just kept wandering around. Why were they trying to put Lawrence and I out of the picture and not Carlisle? “Babe, has anything strange happened to you recently?” He was on the phone so he ended the call and looked at me. “What do you mean strange?”“I don't know. Something weird. Something that normally wouldn't happen.” He stayed quiet for a couple of moments. I needed to know if he was off their radar yet and why. “I don't think so. Except Chase refusing ou

ELINNALawrence and I stared at each other after that, not knowing what else to do. “I'm guessing that the page is torn out because there is something there we shouldn't know.” Yeah, he got that right. I tried to think back to whether I had read that page when I initially got the book but I couldn't remember anything I had even initially read, with everything that had happened. What were we going to do now? “Thinking about it, why can't we just ask Ice?” Ice has been AWOL since the whole thing started so I figured she was busy with something else. For now, I was on my own. “Lawrence, what did the police ask you?”He rolled his eyes and sighed. “The same old. They said they had evidence against me and I had to confess to everything as soon as I'm out of the hospital so they can charge me with a crime I didn't commit. That's not even what I care about.” I gave him a look. “What can you care about more than your arrest and a record on your rap sheet?” “This whole saga, going p

CARLISLEAs I got back home, I plopped down on the couch and just tested my head. On the entire drive back here, my mind was filled with crazy thoughts that wanted to consume my insides. I knew that the accusations were insane and Elinna had assured me time and time again that she would never cheat on me. Fact was, even if she didn't, I trusted her and I knew that she surely won't cheat on me. But I couldn't deny the fact that I felt like something was going on behind the scenes and I wasn't aware of it. The fact that she had gone off with him without informing me or anyone, the way she was worried when he was unconscious which is honestly understandable and the fact that the fight that they had made her a shadow of herself..I didn't even know what the fight was about so I couldn't even take sides. They could be having relationship issues for all I knew. Pain shot through my heart as I said those words. I didn't even want to imagine it. Gomez had been standing on the stairs and l

ELINNA“Lawrence-”He laughed but it wasn't coming from a place of amusement. “Scarlett, you are a wonderful person and you've shown me more love than I thought was possible. You and the King made me realize that there are still good people on earth. I just wish things were different.”As I looked into his eyes, I didn't want to believe he was saying what I thought he was saying. “Lawrence, what do you mean? What are you saying?”“In a way, I wish the King was right. He saw it coming from a mile away but I think he wanted to deny it for the sake of peace. The King will have my head if he finds out about this though. I love you, Scarlet. I love who you are behind closed doors, away from all the glam and noise. I love who you are when no one else is around. I know it's never going to happen and we're never going to get our own story but if I didn't say anything to you, I felt like I might die.” As he finished talking, I felt very dumbfounded. I'd never not known what to say before bu
