ELINNAI didn't expect visitors today. In fact, I had hoped that the day would go by uneventfully. But the day was just beginning and it was already filled with events. “What did you say your names were again?” “I’m Ingram. These are detectives Peter and Savannah.” I nodded to my secretary, letting her leave the office and close the door. “How may I help you?”Ingram scoffed. “You’re just like him. He didn't offer us seats when we went to his office.”I smiled, hearing this. “My husband and I share a mutual dislike for scum. State your business.”“We have a couple of questions to ask you concerning your husband's case. Would you like to have your lawyers present?” I removed my glasses .“Should I?”They looked at each other but didn't give me an answer. I lived for making them uncomfortable. “I would like you to know that this conversation is privileged and you're not under oath to answer us.” “Very well, leave my office.” Their faces went white. These people were amateurs.

CARLISLE“You have got to be kidding me.” I looked at the figure walking toward the car. Alex turned around to look at me and smiled. “You didn't expect it, did you?” The figure walked up and opened the car door, getting into the passenger's side of the car. “I don't have a lot of time.”They hadn't noticed that I was in the car. “Are you sure you weren't followed?” They sighed .“Yes, this isn't my first rodeo. You said you wanted me to see something. What was it?” Alex pointed behind him to me and the person in front turned around and looked at me, the blood leaving their face immediately. Detective Ingram was the mole. Alex's connection in the NYPD. I don't know why that irritated me, maybe it was because I had already broken his nose. “Maybe you should have let me know that you were working for me before letting me break your nose.” He ignored me and turned back to Alex. “i thought we agreed never to let him know that I was in on this. Do you know what would happen if I

CARLISLEThat means that it was another person that walked into the club and somehow, they were able to turn to me and assume Gomez's body..How does that make sense? So who was being set up and who was the person who spoke to Jefferson? “I think I know it. The person who met with Jefferson is the person who was supposed to. I don't know if he was possessed but I know that Gomez was at that bar and that's how Olera must have known to use your face for the cameras to see.” I had a question in mind..“Does that no mean that he killed Jefferson?” None of us could answer that question. In fact, I didn't want to answer it..“What’s going on?” His voice snapped me out of my thoughts. Alex left immediately. “Alex was just telling me that he still couldn't find the footage. I don't know what else to do.” Elinna gave me a look like she could not believe that I had lied to him. “Gomez, that night you were with Olera, do you remember going anywhere?” He found the question weird but he di

ELINNAThe silence in the house was deafening. It was like a gloomy cloud was hanging over my house and all I could do was sit back and watch it pour down very heavy rain on us all. And we were right outside with nothing to do. There was no way I could just back and watch this happen. I had to look for a way to help Carlisle out of this because he didn't leave me alone when I was the one with a court case. But what could I do to help? I had to stop Chase from going to school because I feared the media would hound him and embarrass him and there was no way I could ask the bodyguards to go into class with him. So he had to stay home. I kept him away from the screens so that he wouldn't be able to see the press releases and as for my mother, I told her what was going on and told her not to worry because I would sort it out. The last time I saw Carlisle was a couple days ago or even a week ago. He had been too busy with the lawsuit against the police department and other things. Th

ELINNAI didn't want them to know that I was going to see Jefferson's wife. I knew that it wasn't the press, they weren't that smart. It had to be the police or some other person involved in this whole thing. “Where should we go?” I reduced my speed. The plan was to make sure they didn't know that we knew and we mislead them so that they would leave. Based off where we were, there were only two places I could go to that wouldn't warrant suspicioun. The park and the port. Everything else was a hotel or motel and if they saw Lawrence and I coming out of the car to go to a hotel, they would eventually assume that we were having an affair and I didn't what to have to deal with all that drama. The park was also a no go area because it was very public and I didn't want to deal with any drama. So I opted for the port. “What would we do here?”“I’ll act like I came to make some inquiries about a shipment. After all, my ships are docked here.”We parked the car and sure enough, the bl

ELINNA Thankfully, this time around, there were no suspicious vehicles behind us and we got to the house later that evening. Lawrence held the flowers behind me as we walked up to the door and the maid ushered us in. “Mrs Amanda has been informed of your presence and she would be here shortly. You can have your seat.” We sat down, actually, I sat down and Lawrence hoverered over me in silence. The house was very silent, which in a way caught me by surprise because I thought it would be filled with actual people who had come to sympathize with the family and those who were there for gossip and drama. But it was the opposite. Even the maid moved lightly across the house as thought they could fly and I could barely hear their feet touching the ground. They talked in low tones tones as they walked around the house and stopped to hush at each other. .That was until one of them caught sight of Amanda at the top of the stairs coming down. Her hair was packed in a low messy bun and h

CARLISLE“What moves can we make now to overcome this? It's obvious they have me on tape but how would I be able to prove that I didn't kill him?” My lawyers looked at each other and sighed. I knew that it was a very hard case and that it Could be very hard to come out of this successfully.“I already dread asking this and I'm not supposed to ask this but for the sake of the fact that we have no other way out, I have to. Did you see Mr Jefferson that night?” Do I say yes or no? If I said yes, then it would mean that surely, I spoke to him and I was probably the one in the video. Then it increased the stakes of me having killed him. If I said no, then they would have to canvass for people who saw me at the club that night to ask them what I was doing so they could corroborate my story. The issue with that was that no one saw me at the club because I wasn't there. The only thing was that I didn't know how to prove that it wasn't me at the club because the person didn't even show th

ELINNAI stared at the box in front of me, waiting for him to return. He had been out all day and it just was making me anxious. He also hasn't been picking up his calls and I haven't heard from him. Regardless, I'll wait. Except he slept out tonight. I didn't know if I should open the box. What if there was a bomb in it? No, I didn't think there would be a bomb. Jefferson seemed very determined to safeguard Carlisle so much so I doubted that it would be something like that. Maybe it was documents…or a flashdrive. Carlisle walked in just as I was making so many conclusions for myself. “What are you still doing up do late?” I looked up at the clock, not even realizing that it was a new day. “I was waiting up for you.” His eyes drifted to the safe and he looked at me for a few moments, before rushing towards it and grabbing it. “Where did you get this? Who came here?” “Relax, I went to see his widow.” A flash of several emotions crossed his face and he just ended up taking

ELINNACarlisle was out of the house faster than I could even process the call. I told Lawrence to run after him immediately since I couldn't go. Leaving me in the house, I kept calling Amanda to make sure that she was okay but her number wasn't going through. I should have listened to the thought that told me to tell Lawrence to put a mole on her house when we were leaving. I felt like if she found out, she would get the wrong idea that I was trying to spy on her or something like that and I didn't want the good relationship that we had to spoil. So I didn't. Maybe if I had, this wouldn't be happening. My eyes drifted to the papers in front of me and I wanted to open them to see their contents but they weren't addressed to me. I packed the papers and everything and took them to my room, locking them in my own safe and then I placed the safe in Carlisle's office so if they go looking for it, they won't get anything. Then I went outside and went to the car, taking my phone to s

CARLISLE“Don’t worry. It's all fine here. Just get some of the men to come clean this up. I can't deal with this and I can't have the police seeing any of this if they eventually come here.” If they caught me here, then It would complicate the case because it would be like I was trying to and I had succeeded in oppressing Jefferson's wife into saying that I was not responsible for her husband's death and that would just make things hard and make my life a lot more harder. I was still on the phone, telling Alex to check on Gomez and make sure that he hasn't been followed when I felt hands wrapping around my waist. Her scent was very familiar so I wasn't shocked by this gesture but I just wasn't expecting her to be back this soon. I wonder what Lawrence must have said to her I said inside the house that made her come back. Holding her hand so she wouldn't think that I was pushing her away, I turned around to look at her. Before she could say anything, I pulled her in for a hug an
