Chapter 41

It's close to evening and I should be retiring back home but I still have something to do. Something to investigate. Diana is in the kitchen making smoothie with the housekeeper, Delaney. I've put Autumn to bed and I'm hoping that Mrs Rivera is taking a nap since it's close to dinner time.The door to Cooper and Nicole's room is surprisingly not locked. I figured Nicole as the type of woman to hide so many things, therefore putting a lock on the door. I push opened the door and slipped in. There's got to be something here that's going to help me find Ethan's murderer.I close the door and move to the drawers by the bed. I'd be damned if I get caught and it could ruin my whole cover but I'm willing to take that risk. Nicole is hiding something. Nothing Autumn said tied to Nicole killing Ethan but now, I just have a bad vibe about her. She's trying to take my daughter, and I won't let her. The cunning snake might just have other secrets.

Chapter 42

Jacob Astor loosed a signed contract with Ethan on June 12, Lucas also loosed a contract or was suppose to sign a contract with Ethan on that same June 12. My life is suddenly becoming an opera. I've been seating on this chair for an hour now, trying to come up with ways that this all ties to Ethan's death. If I could blame or suspect Jacob for Ethan's death, then I suppose I can do the same to Lucas. No one is to be trusted. Besides, he popped out of nowhere to help me. How sure am I that this isn't some kind of sick game he's playing with me. The door to the living room opened and I stayed firm on my seat, waiting for Lucas to come into sight. He does and when he sees me planted on the chair, he smiles. "Are you just getting back from the Riveras?"

Chapter 43

"It's been years since we saw, Ashley" Diana smiled at my very blonde friend. "I remember when we used to have drinks and have fun together"Ashley shrugged. "It's actually been a while, Yeah"So, it was beggining to get awkward and I don't want to stand anymore cause my feet is hurting me and I crave some more fruit punch. "How about we all just seat and talk" I suggest and Diana buys it immediately. She takes the seat next to mine."What exactly are we talking about?" Ash asked with so much sass. I get the feeling she's not happy about Diana being here and I don't know why."Everything" I say but she lowers her head shaking it. "I came here so we could discuss the way forward" Ash hummed with annoyance. "Not chit-chat about fucking old times""Ash!" I snap and she looks away with a frown."It's ok if you want me to leave, Ash. I understand why you're mad at me" Diana cal

Chapter 44

I struggle to look at who grabbed me but there was no one.Immediately I stand to my feet, I see a light flash from across the street and I knew that just be help. I sprint forward, almost bumping into the car but it stopped right on time before it could crush my feet. Out hopped Elaine and Hunter. I feel my body relax as my friend runs to me and gives me a hug."God! I was so terrified" I wept into her shoulder crying. Hunter is flashing a into the dark corners, checking for any one that might be there."What happened?" Elaine questions but I'm shaking my head in fright. I'm not even sure what happened exactly. "I called Griffin on our way here and told him to meet us at the mansion""Do you think it's a good idea Griffin goes there?" I ask, feeling my body tremble."Sure. Riley is taking him there""Who?""Let's just say he's a friend" Elaine smiles, wra

Chapter 45

Lucas big hands grip my thighs and wrap my legs round his waist. We kiss hotly, moving against each other. I feel my body heating up, my arms come up to hold his neck to me when he transfers his lips from my lip to my neck. I moan, rolling my head back, feeling so ecstatic and light headed. We're really doing this."Elaine..." Lucas scruff voice is behind my ear and I shut my eyes, trailing my hand up and down his arm. His fingers fiddle with the knot on my nightgown until it came undone and I shrug the thing off leaving me in ink the gown.I raise his head up and kiss him, my kind going blank. Oh for goodness sake! My left leg comes round his body and he pulls away from me to take his shirt off. My eyes hour to his times chest and when he comes back to me, I don't delay in placing my palms against them.Our eyes are locked as he pulls the straps of my lace gown down my arms slowly until my breasts is revealed. He li

Chapter 46

Lucas and I keep our hands locked as we stroll down the street, coming back from our short walk. Ellie keeps running ahead, sniffing everything she comes in contact with."I never knew my dad. It had always been me and my mom" I tell Lucas prior to the question he asked me."Aren't you going to give your mom a call?""I can't. It might be risking everything we've worked for you till now. If someone is actually unto me, they might trace the call." I bael. Who says I don't miss my mom. I do, everyday but I just can't call her. I would have loved for her to know I'm still alive and well but I think it's best to keep it low for now."If you need to talk to someone or need anything, just talk to me" Lucas gives my hand an assuring squeeze before lifting it to his mouth and kissing it."Thanks" I smile."How about do with a little sprint. First to get home first?"
