Lora stepped out onto the corridor and looked around to see whether she could find any of the maids around and fortunately, there was none aroundThis mansion is for Collins and Jeffery alone. Their parents live in a different mansion, and the maids showed her around when she arrived. So, she knew very well where Jeffery’s room wasLora walked very carefully and gently towards Jeffery’s room. It was just few meters away from Collins’ room along the same corridorWhen she got to the door, she pressed the door handle and pushed the door open as fast as she could and walked inShe didn’t want to be seen by any of the maids, or else it would raise suspicions and eventually get to Collins one dayJeffery quickly stood up from the bed upon seeing Lora and opened his arms to embrace her which Lora did without a second thoughtAfter hugging for a while, Lora pulled out and asked worriedly “where is Collins?”“He won’t come back home tonight. He told me he’ll be spending the night at the offic
Two weeks passed quickly within the blink of an eyeAnd within these past days, nothing had changed. Alex still maintained his coldness, and it seemed Lucy still hadn’t been able to make even a single step in gaining Alex’s trustThings seemed to be getting worse rather. But Lucy still didn’t lose hope yetAlex isn’t such an easy going person. And Lucy knew it was going to take her a long time to finally win his love and trustAs usual, it was an early morning. And time for breakfast was dueAlex had already left the room just like always. Lucy freshened up, got ready in a simple dress and stepped out of the roomUpon stepping out, she saw a piece of paper lying just at the door stepLucy stared keenly at the piece of paper for a while and picked it up hesitantly However it landed over there, she had no idea of. And it didn’t concern her so much eitherShe just felt curious to know what could have possibly been written on that piece of paper Lucy’s eyebrows arched slightly upon read
Later in the evening….Bella got ready and set out to meet Jeffery for their first dateAfter thinking continuously about whatever Lucy said in the morning, she decided to just give love another chanceMaybe Jeffery is actually her destined partner as Lucy saidLucy quickly stood up on her feet upon seeing Bella descending the stairs and smiled broadly with satisfaction. She opened her arms as she approached her to embrace her “I’m so glad you’ve finally made up your mind to give Jeffery a chance. Don’t come home until you enjoy yourself to the fullest”“Sure” Bella smiled back and leftLucy stood with mixed feelings after Bella’s figure finally went out of sight. For a moment, she felt maybe she shouldn’t have encouraged her to give Jeffery a chance, because she doesn’t know him so wellShe only got to meet him few times while she and Collins were still dating. And even that, they didn’t talk to each other muchFrom what she sees, Jeffery is a quite gentleman. A guy who respects hims
“How do you see the food? Nice right?” Vanessa asked with a mouth full of chickenBut looked like Alex’s mind wasn’t anywhere close. He was completely lost in thoughts about Lucy He kept on wondering what Nelia possibly wanted to tell him. And the thought of it made him a little restless He looked up at Vanessa who was busily having her meal and stretched out his hand “give the phone to me”Vanessa’s brightened face gradually became gloomy with anxiety. She knows very well Alex might call Nelia again to find out what had actually happened if she returns the phone back to himShe made a sly fake smile and retorted “for what? Besides you haven’t even touched your food. Let’s finish eating and I’ll return the phone back to you” “I need to talk to my assistant. I’ll eat after that” Alex replied softly and took the phone from Vanessa’s hand even though she was very reluctant to give it to himAlex went to his call log and realized no one had called him after Nelia’s call. Vanessa was fa
“Thanks for this wonderful night, I hope we can do this again soon”“Sure. I hope so too. Please drive back home safely”Bella walked into the mansion after giving Jeffery a short hug. She kept on smiling to herself, as if happiness had finally rushed through her blood streamsAfter so many years, she’s finally giving love another chance. And this is all thanks to LucyEven though they have just started going out and knowing about each other, she still feels very impressed about JefferyHe is such a nice good-looking gentleman. And just as Lucy said, it’s possible he’s actually her destined partner for this lifeAnd now there’s no doubt in her heart that Jeffery is going to be her last and forever loveLucy forced her into giving love another chance, hence she needs to be applauded. If it wasn’t for her insistence, then she probably wouldn’t have gotten this nice young manBella went straight to Lucy’s room to give her the good news. But when she got there, there was no one. Not even
“That’s good to hear. You have some kind of power over your brother. And this is the right time to make good use of it. Find a way and convince him to sign that certificate as fast as you can. I’m trusting you on this Vanessa, don’t let me feel disappointed. Or else you know what can happen” The person at the other side of call spoke calmlyBut his words had great effect on Vanessa. She looked around again to make sure no one was watching and replied “I’m trying my best. Alex has somehow started doubting me. I can’t force him to sign that paper now”“That’s your problem Vanessa. Do everything you can. Even if it means killing someone and get that idiot’s signature on the certificate before tomorrow morning. Don’t call me again until it’s done”Vanessa stared at the screen of the phone and pulled a long faceThe person at the other side of the call didn’t even allow her to finish talking before hanging up. And on top of all that, he even described Alex as an idiot?This word really hur
The night felt very long, and morning showed up several hours laterAlex stood in front the doctor, who was chained in his seat and said “I’m coming to talk to you as a man. Tell me the exact truth and nothing else”His voice sounded very domineering, causing the doctor to lower his eyes in fearHe knew very well his life was in great danger. Yet he wasn’t ready to talkLast night the police did all they could, but he still refused to reveal the actual truth behind Lucy’s missing bodyAlex had a very terrible night. Not just that, he even received a call from his assistant this morning that the media had already gotten hold of the newsThe news of his wife’s missing body was already circulating everywhere in the city. And now people are wondering whether he’s got anything to do with itFrom the look of things, the doctor seems to be the only source of route to Lucy’s missing body. Hence without waiting for the sky to be clear, Alex set out and went to interrogate the doctor himselfEv
“Good job Dr. Carson. You’ve done everything I asked you so perfectly. Now Alex believes I’m innocent. So, I’m going to transfer five hundred thousand into your account. You can choose to leave the county for the next few weeks with your family to ensure their safety”“Alright.”Vanessa smiled and blew out a sigh of satisfaction after the call ended. She has put so much effort in getting all these done. Even still, the work still looks incompleteShe knew things were going to get more complicated for her if Alex continues doubting and suspecting her. Hence, she needed to direct his mind elsewhereNow Alex believes Aaron is the cause of everything and not her. And from the way things are going, she believes its not going to be easy for Aaron to convince Alex he’s innocentVanessa always had this doubt that Aaron was having some kind of lustful feelings towards Lucy. It all started from the day they went to the Whites mansion for the weddingHe couldn’t take his eyes off her. And even a
