CHAPTER 81: His lifeless body.

ROSELINE'S POVI wrapped myself up with my hands, tears slowly streaming down my eyes as I kept shaking. The silence coming through the speaker felt unbearable, every second that past felt like a stab in the chest as I waited for something, anything, to tell me Florian was still alive."Florian, are you there?, can you hear me?" Gabriel asked again, his voice strained as he tried the device once more. "Florian, please, answer me."Nothing but static crackled back.Gabriel pulled out his phone quickly, dialing one of the soldiers who had gone in with Florian. The call rang once, twice, three times before finally dropping entirely. The guy didn't pick.My heart sunk in my chest, I tried not to imagine the worst. Maybe it was just a minor issue they were having with communication and nothing more."The network's unstable this deep into the building," Gabriel muttered, trying another number, then another, each attempt met with the same frustrating silence. "I can't reach anyone.""Gabrie

CHAPTER 82: She looks familiar.

FLORIAN'S POVI sat at the back of the ambulance staring into space while Uncle Marcus's lifeless body lay there, the paramedics trying to revive him, but obviously nothing was working, so they covered him up.I felt tears puckering in my eyes, but I held onto them, not letting any spill. In my hand was the piece of paper that was in Marcus's hand when we saw him on the floor. There was nothing much in the note, but just a few words.Ask Mara... wife.The name Mara didn't ring any bells in my head. I didn't know anyone like Mara, and whose wife was he talking about?And what were we supposed to ask this woman named Mara?None of it made any sense.I stared into space, more confused than before. We were almost at the point of solving the problem, at the point where all our questions would get answers, but it felt like we were right back where we started.Marcus's body was taken away, so we would fix a date for the funeral. I called a few family members to inform them about the terribl

CHAPTER 83: Death Anniversary

ROSELINE'S POV"Hey," I tapped Florian's shoulder softly. He turned, jolting up in surprise.It seemed he was lost in thoughts."What's wrong?" I asked."Nothing, your mother's just really beautiful," he said, moving away from the photos."She was," I said softly, glancing toward the picture he'd been staring at. "I don't remember her much, honestly. I was really young when she passed."Florian studied me for a moment, something gentle in his gaze. "You never really talk about her.""There's not much to say," I said, forcing a small smile. "I'll be right back, let me get my dad settled in his room."I walked up to where my father had drifted off in his favourite arm chair, he was sleeping so peacefully It almost felt really bad to wake him up.I tapped his shoulder gently."Dad," I said softly. "Let's get you upstairs to bed."He moved slightly, blinking before smiling a little, a tired smile. "Was I asleep long?""A little while," I said, helping him stand carefully, supporting him a

CHAPTER 84: The funeral.

I stared at the casket sitting there in the grass, white flowers laying gracefully around it.My uncle's body was wrapped in the cold hard wood. I felt a tear drop leave my eyes and that was it, I refused to cry for the rest of the ceremony.Roseline stood at the other end with Nina, they were both dressed in black dresses, her eyes on the casket like she was battling with something in her head.I hated seeing her look so gloomy, I couldn't tell what exactly was going on in her head because she always forced a wide smile whenever she saw me around, a smile too wide to be real. Nina stood by her side, a true friend trying to support her friend. Gabriel stood at the terrace, I couldn't understand the look on his face, I didn't know if he was sad or just simply lost in thoughts.“Do you want to see his body before they put it in the ground?”one of the men asked me.“No, you can put it in the ground,”I said.I wasn't ready to see my uncle's lifeless body lying in the casket, we weren't

CHAPTER 85: Mara

FLORIAN'S POV…I excused myself, Mr Moore nodded, staring at me, a bit confused.My legs moved really fast, going after the strange woman, there was something off about her and I intended to find out what.I wasn't going to leave any stone untouched this time.I saw her standing at the end of the hall but she was talking to someone. He was flanked in a tailored suit. Even from across the room you could see the expensive gold watch on his wrist, his hands wrapped warmly around her shoulders like he was comforting her.I guess they were probably married or dating because the way he looked at her was something entirely different.“I'm sorry for your loss, my boy”Mr Harvey said from behind me, I turned towards him but not fully. My eyes were still on the strange woman like if I looked away she would disappear.“Thank you Sir,”I said.“Do you by any chance know who that is?”I asked.Mr Harvey was a very social man and a prominent business tycoon so if anyone was going to know who she was t

CHAPTER 86: Was this all a set up?

FLORIAN'S POV…I looked around, there weren't many people there but I noticed a suspicious looking group of men. Two dressed in black suits and the other dressed in a White shirt and pants.Mara held my hands and began walking across the room to the balcony.“Come with me”she said as we walked onto the balcony.“Those men are Adrian's men”her voice low as though someone else might hear us if she talks too loud.I guess she was so used to the act of talking in whispers and living in silence.She isolated herself from the world when she felt the world was making her heart ache.I still wonder why she ended up getting involved with such a man in the first place.“He was a good man,”she said.And I had to properly check to be sure I wasn't saying all my thoughts out loud.“Adrian, he wasn't always like this, there were times when he wasn't this evil. I don't know what changed or maybe he was just masking his true nature”I just listened as she spoke about the man she once loved, the man w

CHAPTER 87: The park at Sixth Street.

FLORIAN'S POV I bolted upright, chest heaving as cold sweat stocked to my skin, a few heavy beads dripping from my forehead.It was all just a bad dream, I placed my hand on my chest, it was beating really fast.The dream had felt so real.I looked at the note sitting peacefully on my nightstand, the note Mara sent to me with the location and everything.I heard a loud knock on my door and that's when I realised it was morning already, I sluggishly stood up from my bed and walked to the door and opened it.It was one of the maids.“You have a visitor Sir”she said.I arched my brows, I wasn't expecting anyone today and definitely not this early.I nodded for her to leave, the moment the door clicked close.I wore sweat pants and a random shirt.I got down the stairs and my eyes landed on the dark haired woman, she smiled the moment she saw me.I stared at her, surprised.“How did you know I lived here?” I asked."I have my ways," she said.She walked over to my couch, sank into the cu

CHAPTER 88: The man in the car

FLORIAN'S POVMy eyes stayed on his face, and my chest tightened. I knew him. I had seen this face before, but I couldn't remember where.He had a small scar above his lip, and his eyes were dark, infact almost black under the dim light in the car. He didn't smile, or blink, he just handed me the files like it was the most normal thing in the world."Fredrick," Mara said, in her usual calm voice, "Give him the tape too."He reached into a small bag by his feet and pulled out an old cassette tape. Then, he placed it in my hand without a word."Do I know you?" I asked, staring at him carefully as I tried to place his face in my memory.He looked at Mara first, like he was asking for permission to speak. She nodded slightly."You wouldn't remember me," he said, his voice low, "I used to work for your father. A long time ago, before the fire."My breath caught in my throat. "You worked for my father?""Yes," he said. "I was one of his drivers. I used to take you to school sometimes when y

CHAPTER 89: What the papers say

FLORIAN'S POVI sat in the car a little longer, going through the files page by page, my eyes moving faster now. I was hungry for every little detail hidden inside those papers.The bank records were the clearest part. Large amounts of money, sent out from an account with Adrian's name on it, moved into smaller accounts, then split again into even smaller ones. Like someone trying hard to hide where the money was really going."These transfers," I said, pointing at one page, "they all happened close to the same time.""Yes," Mara said. "One week before the fire. He paid three different men that week. Small amounts at first, then one big payment two days before it happened."I stared at the numbers, my jaw tightening. It was one thing to suspect something, to feel it deep in your gut for years. But it was another thing to see it laid out plainly like this, cold numbers proving what my heart had already known."He planned this so carefully," I muttered."Adrian doesn't do anything ca

CHAPTER 90: A call in the night

FLORIAN'S POVThe drive back home felt longer than it actually was. My mind kept going back to everything Mara had said. The files sat quietly on the passenger seat beside me like a heavy secret I now had to carry.I pulled into the driveway a little after midnight, the house dark except for one light still on upstairs. My chest tightened a little when I saw it. I had hoped Roseline would already be asleep.I stepped inside quietly, trying not to make too much noise, but the moment I closed the door behind me, I heard footsteps coming down the stairs fast."Florian?"Roseline stood there in her night dress, her arms folded tightly across her chest. Her eyes were red like she had been crying, or maybe just staring at the door for too long, waiting."Where were you?" she asked, her voice shaky, somewhere between anger and relief."I had to go somewhere," I said carefully, setting the folder down on the small table by the door. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you.""Sorry?" she repeated, her
