***
Karina was at home by herself that day. Eden was off to work like usual, the staff were doing their thing. There was nobody there she could talk to and Karina was starting to feel a little bit lonely.
She opened up her phone and she suddenly saw a message from an unknown number. Karina was sure that her phone was bugged by Eden so it was unlikely for an unknown number to reach her. Who could possibly manage to text her?
She was a bit hesitant but eventually decided to open it and saw a shocking message. It was from Michelle Langdon. She introduced herself again and wondered if they could meet up for a talk because there was something she needed to tell Karina.
“I have to tell you something. It’s about your husband. He is not who you think he is. If you want to meet me, we can arrange a meeting. Jus

I had the chef prepared these for you. All of them are safe to be eaten in the bed, mess free.” He stated before handing a glass of water to her.She wondered why he suddenly wanted to have breakfast in bed when he usually hated having mess around the bed except for that time.“You’re acting a bit strange, Eden.

Declan did not seem faltered by his statement and invited himself in. He walked into the living room and took a seat as if he owned the place. “What’s your business?” Eden wanted to get straight to the point, which Declan appreciated since he was also more into the mature approach. “I’m just checking up on my brother and sister in law. Is there anything wrong with that? He questioned. Eden knew he would use that excuse again and laughed it off. He was not in the mood to be confrontational that morning since he had been through enough drama in the past week. Declan looked outside the window and saw the leaves falling

She took it and thanked the guard before going back inside the house to see what the letter was all about.“Dear Eden and Karina,Leo has been requesting to meet you again since you parted. Therefore, as a good mother, I would like to fulfill my son’s wish. I would like to invite you over to my place for dinner tomorrow evening.

Scott Fitzgerald-***After an hour ride, Karina and Eden eventually arrived at Lobelia’s house. However, it would sound too humble to call the place a mere house because it was definitely a mansion. No, in fact, it was more than just a mansion.The place looked like it came straight out of a fairytale, a palace. The location of the house was also quite far from the city, similar to Eden, she chose a secluded area to reside in.

It was the opposite, he seemed to be expecting it.“Aunt Lobelia, you have all of these men here and yet none of them could do the job for you?” He sarcastically remarked.“Unfortunately yes. It’s just none of my men are as skilled in the detective play as yours. I could hire a private detective but doing the business with you would be a lot safer for me. We’re relatives, after all.
