" Beauty!" Elsa called excitedly as she ran into the ward with Shawn behind her. Mason had called her immediately Beauty woke up." Hey." Beauty chuckled. The doctor was running some tests on her so Elsa had to stand behind him till he was done." Is she okay?" Mason asked. " Her vitals are stronger. I'd like to observe her for a week before she's discharged." The doctor said before leaving." Big sister." Elsa finally hugged her and she smiled widely. " I'm sorry for scaring you." Beauty sniffed. " I'm glad you're back."Mason left the room when he received a message from Dwight. As he suspected, the flight records were tempered. Seems Celeste and Diana both came to California the day Beauty was kidnapped. " Mason." Beauty smiled when he walked back in. " You look skinny. Don't tell me you haven't been eating."" I have." He lied. " He hasn't. He didn't even touch the fruits I brought an hour ago." Elsa rolled her eyes. " Mason......"" I couldn't eat when you were on the brink
" I don't understand." Elsa said confused. " How was mother's twin in the car and not my mother?" " Beatrice knew that there was no way she could stop your parents from going to the court that so she enlisted the help of her gang members to kidnap her sister and switch them up. I was the delivery guy. When she returned to your house, she was supposed to take your father out too but he was too stubborn. When she finally convinced him, it was already too late. I was waiting outside to switch the cars when your father's car blew up with the two of them in it." Rose narrated. " Didn't Dad know that she was a fake?" " He didn't coz he's never met her or knew what she look like, your mother barely talked about her. The only way you could differentiate the sisters was by the viking tattoo on Beatrice's pinky finger."" Then how did you know she was a twin if no one knew?"" That's because I was the only one who's seem them together coincidentally. I wanted Bella's help so I went to her pl
" What is it?" Shawn asked Elsa who had a confused expression on her face. " It's nothing. I thought I saw something." She faked a smile. " Ohk. Are we going to the hospital or....." " Celeste's. I haven't seen her since she was discharged." She said and he nodded before driving off. Clara came out of the hall where she was hiding and she glared hotly at the retreating vehicle. She went back into the hostel but Stella blocked her way." Whatever twisted plan you have in your head against two, better throw it in the trash. Nothing can come between those two." Stella said and she scoffed. " I don't have anything against them. I have the right to gloat, don't I?" Clara sighed. " It'd better be just gloating." Stella rolled her eyes and walked away. " Psycho." ...Mason was about eating when they arrived and Elsa smiled when she saw him devouring the chicken in his hands. He hadn't had anything to eat in days so it was understandable." Glad to see you eating again. You must be ve
" Let me go." Celeste struggled with the man as he tried to drag her out. " No use struggling woman. We're not going to hurt you." The man sighed. " Did Diana send you?" " Who the fuck is Diana?" .....Ryan just got off a phone call and he faced Mason who had an expectant look on his face. " She's the one." Ryan sighed. " Why is she showing up now?" " I don't know. I'll ask Alessio to look on it."" No. Alessio has a lot on his hands right now. We won't bother him anymore." He said and Ryan nodded. He stared at the sleeping beauty before and he smiled. He's never letting her out of his sight again. " Clyde caught someone trying to escape. I need you to question her for me." Mason said to Ryan who creased his brows in confusion. " Celeste was caught at a motel planning to escape." He whispered." Oh, why would she be running if she did nothing?" " That's what I want you to find out. I can't go myself...."" I understand." He nodded and left. " What's going on?" Beauty snappe
" You!" Beauty yelled. Fear written all over her face. " You shouldn't have survived." Diana said with a wide grin. " You're strong, I admire you for that but you have to die. If I'm not the one making Mason happy, then no one else can." " You won't gain anything by killing me." " I won't but you'll be dead." " Don't do this. You still have a chance to move on. Don't ruin your life over a stupid obsession." " Too late for that." Diana said and pulled out a gun. "Seems Mason doesn't care about you as I had thought. He knows the threat against your life, yet he leaves you alone, unprotected." " You know nothing." " I know everything. I guess he's seen that you're only going to cause trouble for him. He's abandoned you. Making it easier for me to kill you." She laughed. Beauty tried getting up but Diana sprayed something on her before she could. " It weakens you. You won't be able to use your legs till you're dead." Diana smirked. " Don't do this." Beauty cried when she saw her
" You! What are you doing here? This is an enclosed meeting!" Eunice banged her fists on the table. " And why didn't I get an invite?" Beauty asked tapping her newly manicured nails on the table. " You're not a part of this company." Eunice glared at her. " I see.. I'll take my seat." Beauty said and walked to the second vacant chair, the president's seat." Who are you and what are you doing?" An elderly man asked." Mr Donovan, who I am is none of your business." She smiled. " Get up." Eunice sneered." Why should I? I am after all, the only oldest legal child of Fred and Bella Logan." Beauty said and they all gasped. " That's a lie. The sisters died in the accident with their parents." Mr Donovan said. " Then how am I alive? Proceed with the meeting. I dare one person to question me again." She frowned. " You were about forcing them to sell their shares to you." " I'm not answering to you." " You'd better!" Beauty snapped. " You were also about to sign over ownership of the
" You have no evidence on me." Robert yelled at the interrogator."I'd advise you stay quiet and cooperate with us for your own good." The interrogator said. " I'm not saying anything till I see my lawyer." " You do not need a lawyer Mr Alaric. What you need is imprisonment." He said and left." Hello father." Mason grinned from ear to ear. " How do you like your new home? Although it would be much worse than this in a few days." He smirked." You dare put your father behind bars for a woman!"" No. I did it for me. I wanted you dead but my wife had a very kind heart. She suggested I hand you over to the police. You should thank her." Mason said exuding a dangerous aura. " You would kill your own father?" Robert batted his lashes. " Why do you sound surprised? I should have done so a long time ago. You took everything from us because of your greed. You agreed to hand over the company to us once we finish college but you didn't. Instead you tried to buy off all members of the board
The next person brought in was Robert. The case against him wasn't as bad as Diana's but it was still bad. He had aided in the assassination of Fred and his wife and also the attempted murder of Beauty and he had illegally taken funds from his son's company. He was sentenced to twenty years imprisonment with hard labour and no parole. Mason had wanted him to stay in prison till he dies but Beauty pleaded on his behalf. She knew he was angry but Robert was still his father. She couldn't watch him do something that he'll regret one day. Speaking of parents, no one had seen or heard from Rose since she came to the hospital. " Miss Eunice. Do you have anything to say to the court today?" The judge asked when it was Eunice's turn." I'm not guilty." She said without battling an eye. Salvatore had sent her divorce papers immediately she was arrested. He cut her off from everything he had and warned his people not to help her. He would have done same to Diana if she wasn't his daughter. He
