CHAPTER 61

Christopher My pulse hammered, my heartbeat quickened and my vision blurred.I had to grab the vanity table and take a sit."F....f.... found dead?" Cold spread from my fingers chest to my fingers.In that moment, the world narrowed to that one sentence, Matthieu was found dead.It can't be possible.There was no way Mathieu was dead.I had visited him this morning, Allison had too.He looked healthy, he spoke healthily.How was he dead?"He was found dead shortly after six P.M by one of the prison guards. There are preliminary reports....""What do the reports say?" I impatiently interrupted him."They are calling it an apparent suicide but the prison medical team have begun an internal autopsy and the coroner is on the way. Our team is getting all available footage right now."How the fuck was Mathieu dead?I needed answers as soon as possible, badly.If his death was made to look like suicide then whoever had killed him had done it cleverly.I do not believe he had actually taken

CHAPTER 62

Allison The rain hadn't stopped since I left the mansion.It fell in hard icy sheets, beating against the taxi's window.When I first flagged down the taxi, the driver had looked at me like I had just crawled out of a tragic movie scene.Messed up make-up,Swollen red eyes,Messy hair,Rough appearance.I couldn't blame him- I did look like a female lead that had just caught her boyfriend cheating on her with her sister.I looked miserable."Madam? You still haven't mentioned where you're headed too.""Oh." I hadn't."The nearest hospital, please."I will not be able to live with myself if another person lost their life because of me.This man did not even deserve what Christopher had done to him. And that made me feel much more guilty.He looked dead.I wasn't even sure if he still had a pulse after Christopher had beaten him up so much.I hoped he was alive."Actually, Sir," I swallowed and leaned forward."I need to find someone. A man. He was taken in tonight. Assault case."Find

CHAPTER 63

Allison I mindlessly walked to the reception and sat there. I was too numb to even think. He was fine. I was so sure of it. I had seen him- maybe from a distance but I had seen him and he was doing well, recovering. So what the hell could have happened to him? "Mrs Jacobs?" I was too far in my thoughts to even notice anyone people moving around me until I heard someone call my name behind me. I looked up and saw a police officer stating down at me. Actually, two police officers. Slowly, I stood up, "Yes?" "You'll need to come with us." There was a particular certainty to his tone that didn't sit right with me. "What?" I frowned. What the hell did the police want with me? "You do not have to panic, Mrs Jacobs. We just want to ask you a few questions." His eyes dropped to my skirt where Christopher had smeared the stranger's blood when he hauled me over his shoulder back at the club. I looked down and internally cussed at the blood stain. "Please cooperate." The second o

CHAPTER 64

Allison "Tell them we'll handle any damages privately. No statements." I heard Christopher's voice as he spoke to Charles. When I walked into Christopher's home office, they both looked at me like I should be on a hospital bed and not in the room. "I thought you'd be asleep." Christopher straightened on his seat. "I found out you had a daughter today. I watched you go animalistic and almost kill a man, today. I watched a man die, today. I got arrested, today." There was no way I could just fall into a peaceful sleep after going through so many emotions and physical discomfort in just one day. He looked like I had just punched him with my words. Well, he had stabbed me with his betrayal. "Fine then." "Sit." He pointed to the empty seat across from his. I took it while Charles remained standing- as always. He didn't speak immediately. He just looked at me, like he was trying so hard to control a thousand versions of himself all at once. "You were at the hospital before he d

CHAPTER 65

Christopher I called the Spa and the dress shop to make sure Allison had actually showed up.Surprisingly, she did show.Bonus point, she didn't cause a scene."Has she complained about Liam?" I asked Charles as we drove into my estate."Not yet, Sir. But I doubt she's comfortable having him around." He was still bothered by Liam."As long as she's not complaining, she's comfortable. If there's one thing I know about Allison, it's that she's very vocal about her beliefs, likes and dislikes. So if she's not worried then you shouldn't be."Charles didn't speak on the matter any further even though he obviously didn't agree with me.When he had parked the car, I got out and walked into the mansion.As expected, my daughter was already waiting for me at the door."Daddy!" She ran toward me with her tiny arms stretched out for a hug.I scooped her in my arms and spun around, enjoying the way she giggled."Someone's really happy." I kissed her cheek as I made my way to the kitchen."I had

CHAPTER 67

Christopher I hadn't slept.I couldn't.Not after Allison's revelation.Blue eyes- like light trapped in ice.I shook my head, dismissing the thought as I drank water.There was absolutely no way she could be alive.She was dead.She had died in my own arms, before my very eyes."It was probably just a coincidence." I repeated these words every second of the night yet, I couldn't bring myself to believe it.There was no way it was her- because she was dead.There were millions of people with the same color of eyes- it could have been a total stranger.So why was I still so bothered?I was pouring myself another glass of water- my seventh glass this morning- when Charles walked in, carrying a brown envelope in his hand."Good morning, Sir."He handed the envelope over to me, "Autopsy results for Mr Laurent, Mrs Jacobs' bodyguards and the phone found at the dump place."The first report I checked was Allison's bodyguards' even though I didn't really need to.As expected, it was an utte
