Chapter 172Silas' pov"Any word from the troops?" I asked Asher as soon as he strolled into the room. I had been restless for the last two days as they still hadn't returned with Scarlett and I was beginning to think I should have gone to find her myself."Nothing yet," he muttered as he dropped a huge file onto my desk and I stared from the file to him as my heart sank."Is this..." I trailed off, unable to complete my sentence."Open it," Asher urged, and I took a deep breath as I pulled open the file, which I knew contained information about Anna.I scanned the first pages but there was really nothing interesting there."You might want to skip to page ten, that's where things get interesting," Asher called out to me and I did just that.My blood ran cold as all the evidence was right there. Dates, meetings, correspondence...everything that tied Anna to Elara's death and Scarlett's framing."How did you get this?" I asked without taking my eyes away from the papers before me."I ha

Chapter 174Silas' pov Just as I stepped out of the office, Nora stopped me in my tracks with tears brimming in her eyes and instantly I knew she knew.Nora and I stared at each other for a moment without saying a word to each other and Nora swallowed."Is it true?" Nora broke the silence between us and I felt Asher's presence behind me."Is what true?" I asked and Nora's nostrils flared."Don't do that, don't act oblivious when you know exactly what I'm asking." She gritted out but I remained calmly silent in front of her."Is Scarlett really Elara?" She probbed and I quirked a brow at her."Who told you that?" I asked as I turned back to Asher who looked away from me guiltily."Don't blame him, I literally had to force it out of him because I noticed he was acting weird," Nora called out and I turned back to her."Scarlett is Elara," I announced and Nora wobbled on her feet almost as though she would crumble to the floor and Asher brushed past me and held her in his arms, holding h

Chapter 176Scarlett's pov I stretched as I came back to consciousness, and my eyes slowly opened. A sad smile graced my lips as I recalled the vivid dream I had had about Silas, it had felt so real.I made to rise but then I stopped in my tracks as I realized I was on a bed. I looked down at the bed before I proceeded to survey my surroundings and my heart hammered against my ribcage as I realized I was in Silas' room. How was this even possible?That could only mean...it was, in fact, not a dream and Silas had indeed found me, but how could that be?I let out a shaky breath as I made to rise from the bed once more, ignoring Silas' overpowering scent which wafted around the room, but pain shot through me."It would be better if you stay on the bed, you haven't healed properly." A voice called out to me and my head immediately snapped towards the window and there he was.Silas was leaning against the wall beside the window and staring into the night. He slowly turned his head and hi

Chapter 178Scarlett's pov A soft knock sounded from the door before the door cracked open and Nora slipped into the room.She rushed to my bedside and I could see the mischief in her eyes."What do you think you are doing?" I asked her with a small smile on my face."Do you know what it took me to bypass Silas?" Nora panted and I chuckled. Silas had been keeping a close eye on me for the last two days and he has kept me on strict bedrest. I hadn't left his room since he brought me in and he didn't let anyone in.This was the first time I was seeing Nora since I returned and I was unsure how it would go, she no doubt had a million and one questions to ask me."The way Silas was keeping you under lock and key I was convinced I would find you in a fatal condition." She commented as she settled on the bed beside me."I just had some little cuts, nothing too serious," I told her and she nodded."How are you feeling?" She asked soberly and I knew that was a prelude to a conversation I did

Chapter 180Scarlett's povNora dramatically strolled into the room, accompanied by a few maids who followed behind her, bearing food and clothes. The maids dropped all the items they were holding before they made their way out of the room and Nora closed the door behind them."I'm so excited I get to dress you up," Nora jumped on her spot excitedly and I offered her a small smile as I didn't want to dim her excitement."Where exactly is Silas taking me?" I asked and Nora shrugged."You aren't going to trick me into ruining his suprise Scar and if I'm being honest, I really don't know. All he told me was to ensure you looked glamorous." Nora informed me as I nibbled on my breakfast and she paced around the room as she could barely contain her excitement and she waited for me to finish with my food.Once I was done, Nora bundled me into the bathroom and once I had had my bath, she made me try on different dinner dresses.I groaned when Nora rejected the tenth gown I had put on and I pl
