"Do I know Summer Ray?" Ella questioned.
"Girl. Can you not be so frustrating. You are repeating everything I say like a parrot. If you want to ask the question, ask it in your brain and then supply me with the answer." Officer Simon's pulled his hair. " Stop beating around the bush. Answer the questions."" Is she the girl that you think I am? Only because I look like her?" Ella asked dumbly."Answer the question!" Officer Simon's screamed out so loud that the female officer opened the door and peeped in." Is everything alright in here?" She asked politely."Just get out. Everything is fine." Officer Simon's replied rudely.The officer closed the door quickly. Ella could here her footsteps scurrying away." Someone's got a temper." Ella joked. She was enjoying watching him crack." Miss Woods or Miss Ray. Which ever one you believe to be , answer the questions!" Officer Simon's cursed under his breath." I only heard about her on the news. I didn't know her personally. Do you think we were pen pals. I mean, I live all the way in Palm beach. How would I know anyone from Salt Rock? Don't you think your theory is whack?" Ella offered her opinion." I am making no theories here. You are the one speculating. I am asking the questions around here so just answer yes or no." Officer Simon's rose to his feet pulled his chair nearer to Ella.He was so close, Ella could feel his hot, ginger breath on her pink cheeks.He was now too close for comfort but she turned and stared into his eyes. They were warm and he held her gaze for a while before looking at the paper on his lap." Have you ever seen Summer Ray?"" On the television!" Ella responded,looking at her hands in her lap. She avoided his gaze. His eyes made her feel like a suspect, although they were warm, they were also hypnotizing." What are you doing here in Salt Rock?" Officer Simon's asked picking up chin so that she could face him.Ella blinked a few times," business.""What business?" Officer Simon's stared at her face, trying to read her expression.Ella wanted to say , none of your business but calmly replied," the La Vista hotel down on the south side, where your buddy picked me up from."Before Ella could complete her sentence officer Simon's interrupted ." Your a hooker! I didn't picture you as that type."" You b******. I am not a hooker. I own the hotel. I am here for real estate and to invest in the property market. Innovation and design, making this small shitty town into a landmark." Ella erupted. She could not help herself. How dare he call her a hooker."Oh." Officer Simon's eyes widened. " Do you know Brook Wilds?""No. Until she barged into my suite like a frantic lunatic." Ella replied."And Bobby Styles?""Bobby who? Is he one of the suspects?" Ella asked with fake curiousity. She wanted to gather as much inside information as possible. She would trick him into telling her." No. He is not a suspect!" Officer Simon's replied." The news on the television says otherwise." Ella smirked." Reporters lie." Officer Simon's spat out." And so the weather woman lies as well? " Ella laughed." Nnnnnn....nnnnno" officer Simon's stuttered.This gave Ella the upper hand. His red ears and stammering was a clear indication of his nervousness." So then why is he behind bars?" Ella asked." The television lies. He is at home on his comfortable couch, watching himself on the television." Officer Simon's finally let the cat out of the bag. " Listen here you stupid little girl. I am doing the questioning."Ella was happy she had extracted some good information. It will help her later on." Alright. I apologize. Please continue." Ella said politely." There are no more questions." Officer Simon's grinned." Now we can get the results so I can return you to the cell and solve this case. Mr Luke?"Mr Luke pulled out the paper from the machine and held it up."I knew it , she was lying!" Officer Simon's jumped up of his chair to celebrate."Actually officer Simon's, I held it up so you can see that it is the same as the paper from the previous test. The one you have in your hand." Mr Luke replied." What? You are joking , right?" Officer Simon's choked out." I am afraid not." Mr Luke now held a serious expression. " You cannot hold her here. The polygraph test has been performed twice. She is not lying. All the days is accurate."" Thank you Mr Luke for your service. You have done your job now let me do mine. The door is on your left ." Officer Simon's pointed to the door. His words were harsh and his attitude was disgusting.Mr Luke packed up his equipment and left. He looked back at Ella with pity in his eyes as he closed the behind him. He knew he had to report back to Mr Ray immediately to make sure Ella was back at the hotel safe and sound soon." Come on you little lying imposter. Back to your cell. I'm sure another day here will make you come to your senses." Officer Simon's grabbed Ella by the arm and pulled her of the chair. He shoved her out of the and back to the cell.As he fiddled with his the keys he heard high heels clicking against the floor, getting closer to him. It was accelerating rapidly and he turned around only to be face to face with a sexy brunette with blue eyes." Officer Simon's?" She asked."Yes." He replied like a gentleman." I am here representing Mrs Woods." She said" I'm here to represent Mrs Woods!"The words were precise and silence fell upon the room. Officer Simon's stood frozen. He did not expect an attorney to be present in the police station for this lying imposter. He had made sure that she had no access to her cellphone and she wasn't allowed to make her one call.Officer Simon's gained his composure," Go straight through to the boardroom Mrs ? Sorry I didn't get your name." "Mrs Smith." She replied sharply." Alright, Mrs Smith, I will just be putting the prisoner back in her cell. I will be with you in a minute." He stuck the key in the keyhole."I don't think so, officer Simon's. Ella Woods is my client and I would prefer her in the board room with me. She is not a prisoner." Mrs Smith eyes squinted as she stared holes into him."She is guilty." Officer Simon's turned the key." Innocent until proven guilty. I would like to see your proof." Mrs Smith shut the gate firmly. The swift movement made officer Simon's jump.He had taken he
I snuck into the house, like a thief, making sure not to awaken my mother. She did not know that I had snuck out just hours ago. I looked at the silver clock above the arch , it was already 5am.Jumping straight into the shower I scrubbed myself until the skin broke and droplets of blood oozed out. The pain from the bruising could not compare to the pain o felt inside.I dressed in my pajamas and headed straight for bed. Drawing the blinds shut, I drifted into a dreamless sleep.3months later.I spent three months of my life crying. Who would want a pregnant ,tainted woman like myself. I was spiralling down into a deep dark place. If it was not for the baby I carried in my womb, I would have ended my life.It broke my mother's heart when I finally found the courage within me to tell her the truth.I never went back to the mansion after that day. My mother,being a single parent was like a superhero but I felt the depth of her wound. She blamed herself for my misfortune." I have made
I closed my eyes and tried to sleep but aunt Tess's words were still swimming in my head. This is a game changer for Seth. I am a Luna. He thought he could break my heart and get away with it but he can't . I won't let him. He will regret the day he had left me. Vengeance crept into my heart. I did not know how I was going to make him pay, but I was going to." Breakfast is ready," I heard aunt Tess's jovial voice from the dining hall.I was barely even dressed, I hurried as fast as I could almost tripping over my own feet."You should be careful. I don't want you getting hurt now.""Sorry aunt Tess." I said as I sat at the table .Taking a slice of toast I coated it with strawberry jam. Today was the first day that I actually felt hungry. I was starving. After three months of morning sickness I was now feeling like myself.We arrived at the coffee shop and it wasn't as little as aunt Tess has said, it was the total opposite.She gave me the grand tour and showed me how to work the ma
"Wow, look at your face." Tyler clapped and laughed loudly." Can't I make a joke. Is it only you who can be humourous?"I didn't know why I was surprised. I shouldn't have cared if he was angry , but somehow I did." So, you aren't upset that I am pregnant?""Of course not Ella. I had known the very first day I met you."I wondered how, I knew only a male wolf would smell my pregnant scent but he was a man." But how?""Your aunt Tess." Tyler smiled.Silly me, how could I possibly think this kind man was a wolf. He was too plain and simple. He smelled of fresh lavender and sunshine. Every possible way a human male smelt and behaved." To be honest, Ella, I really like you. You make the most putrid tasting coffee but I will still drink it."I burst into laughter," my coffee is horrible but you still want to drink it? Why would you possibly want to torture yourself."" Yes. As long as I get to see your pretty face. Anything made by your hand is special."" Tyler, I hate to be a buzz ki
Tyler walked in to the coffee shop ordering his usual. One putrid coffee made by me. This time I tried to add more cream and less coffee.I poured a little in a cup and kept it aside. He took a small sip, tasting it slowly." Wow this is delicious." The cream lined the top of his lips and I took a napkin and dabbed it off.He smiled at me and I went back to the counter taking the cup I set aside. Since he said it was delicious I decided to take a big sip, emptying the contents of the cup into my mouth.As soon as it touched my tongue, I cringed. My nose wrinkled up and I wanted to puke. It was awful. It has no taste of coffee at all, just a coffee smell with milky taste.I spat it back in the cup and rinsed my mouth. It doesn't take rocket science to make coffee but why was I so bad at it." You really think my coffee was divine?" I questioned Tyler."My taste buds think that anything prepared by your lovely hands is divine." Tyler teased." Why do you even bother to torture yourself?
The alarm went off at seven and I rolled out of bed. I had started getting used to moving much slower than usual as my belly started to grow. Saterday had literally jumped up on me,the three days went by so quick, I didn't have time to prepare myself mentally. Every day for the last three days, Tyler reminded me of this day. It has become like a chant. In the past three days my coffee just got more pathetic and he still drank it .I had a warm shower and dressed into some comfortable clothes as he had told me. He asked me not to have breakfast so I sat and stared at myself in the mirror for a while, trying to figure out what to do with my long, brown hair. I still had twenty minutes before he would arrive and I spent all twenty minutes, braiding, twisting, tying and plaiting my hair. I eventually settled on a high ponytail once I heard him hooter outside. My heart was beating so fast ,I thought it would pop out of my chest. It felt nice to just be a normal girl, amongst humans in th
I dug into the lamb shank, sucking the juice out of the bones. The pregnancy had made me a savage. I sucked my fingers, watching Tyler cut up his food elegantly with the fork and knife.It made me think of the childhood movie that I had watched. Beauty and the beast, and I was the beast.He smiled and fed me a piece of his bacon and avocado wrap. I had already eaten more than half of the food from the picnic bag.I took a slice of cake and devoured a big bite. Picking up a napkin, Tyler wiped the chocolate from my cheek. I really felt like a clumsy dummy.Here in front of me was this rich,powerful,well groomed man, and then there was me. A country girl with no table manners. Tyler smiled and picked up a piece of cake, shoving the entire slice in his mouth.I erupted with laughter as the entire bottom of his face was messed.He tried licking it with his tongue," aren't you going to help me with this?"I picked up a tissue and wiped his face.Once it was clean I took a piece of cake
Looking around the bathroom,I could not find my clothing . In the place where my clothes were kept now had a yellow sun dress, a yellow and silver flat sandal and a straw sunhat with a big yellow sunflower." Tyler. I can't find my clothes " I shouted from the bathroom." I think someone has stolen it. Do they have another set of guests because I think she left her clothes here."" Is it a yellow sundress and hat?" Tyler replied from the other side of the door."Yes."" Then it's yours, Larna. I asked my personal assistant to have a change of clothes sent for you." Tyler said laughing." I can't believe you would think someone would steal clothes."" You should give a heads up next time." I said as I changed into the new clothes.I stepped out of the bathroom and it looked as if Tyler's jaw had dropped to the floor. I played with the bottom of the dress nervously."Wow. Larna. You look stunning. Like a yellow fairy." Tyler said as he held my hand." Shall we go. I am starving and you sho
