Evelyn froze for a while, unsure of how to react. Her heart was pounding as she stared at the evidence. With this, she could reopen the case and send Diana to jail for having a hand in her sister's death.Hot tears rolled down her cheek."It wasn't a coincidence after all. It wasn't... My fault," she sobbed with a hand over her mouth but none of those things would bring her sister back.It was just unfortunate that her sister had to pay with her life the anger of both mother and daughter."I have to tell Lucas," she said and jumped to her feet in search of her phone when the door suddenly opened.Lucas barged in, " I found something.""Me too!" Evelyn blurted out.He paused and looked at her computer that was still open. "Evelyn, I thought I told you to get some rest."Guilty as charged, she looked away, "I-I couldn't." She hugged her arm, "But I found something really useful."He sighed and placed a kiss on her head before pulling her into a hug. She wrapped her arms around him. He w
"Yes?" The familiar voice sent shivers down Evelyn's spine as she stood behind Lucas."Sorry to bother you but I'm here to see Patrick Moore."She was squeezing his hand that he offered as she stood behind him, keeping her calm and collected. If Patrick saw her, no doubt he'd recognize her.She had caused a scene during the time of her sister's death and no guilty criminal should be able to forget her face."And you are?" The man arched his brows suspiciously."Lucas. I have a few questions for you that I'd like for you to answer.""I never said I was Patrick-""On Friday XX of 20XX, you were involved in an accident," Lucas stated and watched as the man's face turned pale all of a sudden, the colour draining out of his face. "Does that ring a bell-""I don't know what you're talking about," he started to close the door. "Please leave now-"Lucas held the door with all his strength, smiling at the suspecting old man who was already sweating despite the cold weather tonight."It's a lov
"Who is knocking on the door by this hour?" Diana grumbled as she tightened her robe heading down the stairs to attend to her late night visitor.Was it Olivia? That girl knew better than to show up at the house this late at night. Her father would eat her raw with his naggings and complaints.After which she would get an ear full that she wasn't raising a daughter but a whore.If only he knew his other daughter- Evelyn- fucked a stranger for money. She would kill to see the pathetic look on his face.Not like he even seemed to care. He had abandoned that side of his family years ago and he couldn't be bothered by their shenanigans.It was one of the reasons why she could easily swap Olivia in place of Evelyn for that Godforsaken marriage.She would never allow her daughter to end up with a cheap scum like Lucas. Handsome or not, money maketh a man. Being pretty was a woman's job. The man had to have all the cash.The knock sounded again and she groaned, "Hold the damn horses. I'm com
Olivia scrolled through her inbox with her jaw hanging loose. The death threats she received all morning was no joke.Where was this coming from? Her phone buzzer and buzzed with notifications and with each text, she was this close to losing it.It wasn't until she came across the blog that her eyes widened in shock and a scream tore from her lips."What? What's wrong? Olivia!" Diana banged heavily on the door. She was passing by when she heard Olivia's scream.Another scream came from the room again and her heart began to pound. Was there a serial killer in there?What was happening to her daughter?"Open the damn door, already, Olivia! What the hell is wrong with you-"The door was pulled open and she came face to face with Olivia's teary eyes.She quickly cupped her face and searched her eyes. There were no bruises on her, she looked alright then what the hell was that all about?She hadn't picked up her phone all morning so there was no way she could know what was going on.Olivia
Evelyn blinked and her lips were being devoured by Lucas. The last thing she remembered was getting into the house with him and now they were kissing like they didn't just return from a hearing.Her heart was drumming fast and the more when touched her ears, hair and back, she was losing her senses, moaning into his mouth as his tongue continued to dominate her mouth.“You taste so good,” he broke the kiss just to mumble, making her cheeks flush till they hurt. “I can kiss you all day.”“Lucas,” the things he said was making her body burn like his hands were cool to the touch, the only solution she needed to keep her sane.She was thanking him for his support just a while ago. How come–Her eyes bulged when he put his hands under her top, touching her breasts and moving his hands behind to unhook her bra.How did he get so skilled with that? No eyes yet he knew just what to do.She moaned when he cupped her breasts as she climbed the stairs with her back to it, wrapping her arms aroun
Evelyn dropped the groceries on the table, humming in delight as she moved back and forth in the kitchen. She was enjoying her leave, thinking of her bosses generosity, the trial and pretty much everything that had happened these past few days.Peter was doing well. She could see it in the way he moved and how jovial he was. Things were finally starting to fall into place.She glanced at the clock and figured it would still be another two hours before Lucas got off work. She could make it just in time by cooking something good-She heard a car pull into the driveway and she froze. She quickly wiped her hands when she heard the car door shut and as she stepped into the living room, Lucas was opening the door.His face was in a big smile when he held her gaze."Hello you," he said, making her heart take a flip with butterflies in her belly as he approached her with a bottle of wine in his hands."Uhm… hey," she responded in a daze. He pulled her into a hug, kissing her on the cheek."Wh
It didn't take long before Evelyn tracked down Olivia's car by tapping into the camera's on the street she drove through. Her hands moved so fast the same way her heart pounded.She couldn't be even a second slow. The pressure was choking her but she managed to remain calm.Lucas noticed the pressure she had around her and he clenched his fist, wishing he could have handled this with his connections but she was faster, of course and more skilled.“We should leave now,” Evelyn announced. “They are headed for a dead end. If we leave now, we can leave before anything happens.” She gulped, already thinking of the worst.The policemen dashed out with Evelyn and Lucas behind them. They got into their separate cars and drove down to the address Evelyn had given.The place was an old warehouse at the outskirts of town. It was dark and spooky. Evelyn could already imagine how terrified Peter would be in the arms of that maniac.“We have the place surrounded. You two stay here and don't move a
"Insanity?" Evelyn scoffed, refusing to believe her ears. "They are pleading insanity? Oh no way! She wasn't insane when she did that! She was fine and in her fucking right mind!"Olivia's lawyer thought it was best to say his client was mentally unstable and Evelyn knew what that meant.She would escape jail time if he managed to convince the judge."I've known Olivia for years and I can tell you that she's never been to a psychiatrist all her life. You have to believe me, Lucas." She pleaded, feeling frustrated already.She paced the floors of the courthouse, chewing nervously at her nails. "She's not mad! She can't get away with this so easily.""Calm down, Evelyn. I'm sure there's a way to go about this," Lucas hoped yet he sounded so sure, Evelyn almost started to relax.Why did it seem like he had everything figured out?She didn't want Olivia escaping jail. That was totally unfair.Even after all the evidence they brought up on her kidnapping Peter, they were going to rule her
