CHAPTER HUNDRED-SEVENTY-FIVE *Alas, this is reality and the reality she hoped was a nightmare*"The truth huh?" Amber scoffed."I don't need it. Much less from you!" she growled.Janice chuckled as she shook her head."You are broken deep down, Amber. I don't blame you. However, you will have to accept the truth sooner or later. It's pity that your father will abandon you when you needed him the most. I can't imagine what you are feeling right now but ... Every action comes with consequences, Amber and you must pay for all the pain you have caused Hannah. There's definitely no escaping that.",Amber shook her head frantically."Don't you dare talk to me like you give a crap about me, Janice!" She spat as she glared pointedly at her."I told you before, times without number, that you know nothing about me! So stay the fuck away!!! You have clearly got what you wanted all along so spare me your useless pep talk about emphasizing with me and all that bullshit!"Janice flinched at how hu
CHAPTER HUNDRED-SEVENTY-SIX *...at the end of the day, a monster didn't start out as one, they are created not born to be like that**"Amber... If a time comes that you need help desperately, then I will be available to help at any point. Do not hesitate to come to me. You can always meet me at Pine house, Montana Avenue - a very quiet countryside in east England. It got a beautiful view I'm sure you will love it."* Her mother parting words came to her again as fresh tears brimmed in her eyes."Did I hear you correctly, Amber? You want to talk to your mother ?" Janice asked in shock. Amber's mother had been separated for a while now and from her investigations, Amber had despised her mother very much.I guess at the end of the day a mother's love never fades.Janice looked at her with pity and then crouched down beside her."Amber, as much as I hate you for what you have done to Hannah and all your other victims, I still have a heart and I feel sorry for you right now," Janice said
CHAPTER HUNDRED SEVENTY -SEVEN *at the station*After ensuring that the warehouse has been sealed-completely off-limits to the public, they commenced their tumultuous journey through the thick woods and, in roughly good twenty minutes, they arrived at the Station.In front of the huge building of the Southampton police district, a fleet of wailing police cars screeched to a halt.Amber and her two cohorts were bundled out of the car by an officer.While The inspector, Janice, and Hannah slid out from the other official spy-covered car.Hannah wasn't quite sure how to feel.After all, she's coming face to face with her parents for heaven's sake!The same parents she was scared to expose the situation to in the first place!What's she gonna do?What if her parents are highly disappointed in her and wouldn't even look her in the face?If so, then why are they here?They wouldn't even be waiting for her at the station if that were true.Maybe she's simply overthinking things.She felt a
CHAPTER HUNDRED SEVENTY-EIGHT*What on earth drew her to Hannah Spikes?*"Officer I thank you from the bottom of my heart for rescuing my daughter. You have no idea how extremely grateful we are. We are indebted to you for your kind work." Me Spikes took the hands of the inspector in his as she shook them frantically.The inspector chuckled and shook his head slowly."No, Mr. Spikes. You should direct that gratitude to this young lady." He gestured to Janice Jordan who stood beside him, wringing her fingers nervously."She saved your daughter, not me. She reported to us otherwise we wouldn't have known a single thing till this very moment. So, therefore, Janice here owes all the accolades." Mr. Spikes kept a stay narrow gaze trained on Janice for some moments, making her extremely uncomfortable as she shifted relentlessly in her feet.His jaw twitched a little to the left as he gave her a half-wry smile."I'm not sure I know you... Are you friends with my daughter perhaps?" he quizze
CHAPTER HUNDRED SEVENTY-NINE *for the first time in her life, she felt so ashamed of herself*"What about your parents?" The abrupt question shocked the living daylights out of her, yanking her forcibly out of her perplexed thoughts."Are they aware of this?"Why would he suddenly ask that out of blue? Is he, perhaps suspicious of her?She gulped. How will they react when they eventually find out who she really is?She gulped and shot a desperate look at the inspector in the hopes that he would rescue her from this situation.Rather, he simply smiled and nodded, goading her to go on with it."I... My parents er... Yes, I guess so. My father should be joining us anytime soon. " She faltered a bit and quickly swept a tongue over her chapped lips and flashed him a toothy nervous smile.Mr. Spikes raised his brows dubiously."Okay... " He said reluctantly.The inspector cleared his throat and stepped in the middle, in his usual business-like look."Well, Mr. Spikes, we will need a statem
CHAPTER HUNDRED EIGHTY *They are still kids*"I can't believe my eyes and ears! Who would have thought that the daughter of the renowned Jordans would be the one to save my daughter and I assume she had your permission for that? I am quite shocked. How do I repay you and your daughter for your kindness?"Mr. Spikes said as he reluctantly extended his hand. Mr. Jordan chuckled and held up his hand."It's fine, Mr. Spikes. When my daughter wants something she's adamant to get it and there's no stopping her. Either way, I'm glad we could be of help. Well, I could say it's sort of a win-win situation for the both of you wouldn't you agree ?"Mr. Spikes arched his brows diametrically in utter confusion.He laughed nervously in a bid to hide his confusion."may I ask how do you mean by that if you don't mind ?" He inquired softly.Mr. Jordan chuckled again and shot an amusing glance in his daughter's direction. Janice's hazel eyes narrowed in a mild glare in an attempt to discourage her
CHAPTER HUNDRED EIGHTY-ONE *Shattered!*"What's the problem, inspector?" They pressed relentlessly again, their brows furrowed with curiosity.The inspector cleared his throat nervously and clamped his lips briefly before he continued again."Well... Um... Her father was aware of the situation but..."Mr Spikes arched his brow, urging the inspector to proceed.He nodded and cleared his throat again."the truth is, her father attempted to run away after hearing the news of his daughter's arrest by the police."And then he dropped the The whole room went so silent for some split seconds that you could hear a pin drop.The shock on their faces said it all.Mr and Mrs Spikes were both too stunned to form a coherent statement as they glided a surprised look from the inspector to Amber Harvard who looked down on her toes nervously, wringing her fingers."Wait, did I hear you correctly inspector? How is that even conceivable? A father abandoning his own child at such grievous times? That's
CHAPTER HUNDRED EIGHTY-TWO *It's about time to call it quits*"Hannah?!" her mother's shrill desperate voice broke into their little world(reverie), snapping her back to the present.Her mother was astonished as she gawked at her pointedly, her brows furrowing with concern."Are you alright honey? You were spacing out just now?" Her mother asked, stroking her arm gently.She gulped and sunk a glance at Janice who was just as shaken as her.Where the heck were they just a while ago? It felt so real and yet it was not.If this is telepathy, then it felt insanely realistic. They held an actual communication in there.Or is she daydreaming? Heck no! Judging by the expression plastered on Janice's face, it might be true.They just had a brief conversation in their minds!Isn't that insane?! How the heck was that possible?It was believed that if two persons can read each other's minds and hold a conversation, akin to telepathy, then fate had brought two soul mates together on a long ride
