CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR: Unaware Of The Plan.

“Is my father responsible for the accident?” I ask with my heart in my throat. I don't know what I will do if he's the one.

“No, Aella. He's not the one.” Ethan responds.

“Why are you so sure?” I ask in a suspicious tone.

“Trust me, your father does not have enough money to pay off a killer.” Ethan responds.

“Even if my father took no part in it, why would his friend attempt to hurt his daughter? What did he stand to benefit from it?” I ask in an exasperated and confused tone.

“Money. Lots of money. I traced a transaction that came into an offshore account belonging to him and on the night before the accident, he received more than half a million dollars in cash.” Ethan says with a grimace.

“Let me guess, he escaped immediately after the accident?” I ask with a scornful expression on my face.

“On the contrary, Aella. He's in prison. Blackwood Correctional Facility. It's barely on the outskirts of the city.” Ethan responds with a smirk, seemingly happy that the driver is in jail
