Chapter 21
Elena wasn’t sure what she was doing.Except for the fact that she had finally decided to pay Mr Walsh a visit.If she were to be honest, it felt like she was going on a suicide mission, because even though Danika had told her that there was still hope for her, Elena seriously doubted it. She was convinced that Mr Walsh would deny helping her after what happened between her and Richard.Hell, he might even refuse to see her altogether, thinking that she was here to seek revenge on his nephew and destroy his family completely. But regardless, she needed answers, and the only way to get them was to ask Mr Walsh himself.The only reason she was still considering asking Mr Walsh for help was because she owed that much to her brother. Whatever happened to him that night, whoever was behind the ruthless accident, he deserved justice. And if there was even the slightest chance that Mr Walsh could give her that justice, she had to try.She’d be a fool not to.That’s why Elena found herself st

Simon Walsh.The name echoed inside her head over and over again as Elena sat quietly opposite him. She tried to wrap her head around the fact that her mysterious no-strings-attached and Richard Walsh’s uncle were actually the same person this whole time.But it was so hard, though. So hard to comprehend. It just seemed too unreal. Too far-fetched. Like a damn cliché plot of some cheap erotic novel. And yet, here she was, sitting directly across Simon Walsh himself, watching him closely as he did the same to her.They haven’t spoken a single word since Elena found out his true identity. They just stared silently at each other, waiting patiently for the other to say something. Anything. But neither of them seemed willing to break the silence, and honestly, she didn’t even know what to say. Hell, she didn’t even know if she wanted to say anything at all.Part of her wanted to jump off her chair and slap him across the face for lying to her all this time. For pretending to be someone else

Elena was speechless. Completely and utterly speechless. She couldn’t believe what she just heard. She couldn’t believe he actually admitted to being the one to show her the real face of her husband. The same husband who broke her trust, her heart and her soul. The same husband who cheated on her with another woman.But even though she could be grateful for what he did back then, she still felt angry. She didn’t know why but she was growing restless by the minute. Somewhere deep down, deep inside her chest, she felt as if everything was wrong about this man. Simon Walsh was not just an arrogant rich asshole. He was something else entirely. Something dangerous. Something dark. Something Elena had never seen before.And yet, she felt drawn to him like a moth to a flame. Like a magnet to metal. Like a drug addict to drugs. She needed him. She craved him. She wanted him. And he knew it.Perhaps that’s why despite her efforts to be mad at him, he seemed unbothered by her anger. He simply s

Elena stormed into Danika’s changing room and flopped down on the couch as if it were nobody’s business.Man, she was pissed. Pissed beyond belief. How dare that asshole call her a coward? Who did he think he was? She was no coward. She was anything but that. And who was he to put a tag on her? She wasn’t his property. She didn’t belong to him. She never did. And she never will.Elena groaned loudly, covering her face with her hands. She hated feeling helpless. She hated feeling weak. And most importantly, she hated feeling manipulated. And that smug bastard had done exactly that. He manipulated her. He let her believe what she wanted to, never saying a thing, never admitting anything, never giving her any clue regarding who he was.But maybe it wasn’t exactly his fault. He let her believe what she wanted to, maybe because that’s what she needed. At the time when they had met, she wasn’t looking for anything serious. No. She was looking for a distraction. She wanted to forget about eve

Detective Cortez stared at the body in front of him and watched as the forensic team took pictures of it while collecting samples of evidence.It was another suicide. Another victim of drugs. A young woman, barely in her twenties. But unlike the previous victims, she didn’t kill herself because of the drugs. No. She killed herself because she couldn’t take the family pressure anymore. She couldn’t take the society pressure anymore. She couldn’t take the peer pressure anymore. She was sick and tired of everything. And the only way she saw herself out of that mess was by killing herself.It was written in her suicide note.He sighed heavily, rubbing his temple tiredly.He hated cases like this. Cases involving minors, teens, students—people who were struggling to survive in society. These were the worst kind of cases. These were the ones that made him question his profession. Made him question his purpose in life.Did he really have the power to save these people? Did he really have the

Elena closed the door of the car and looked out of the window, watching as the streets of New York passed by. She had just come out of the police station, after being called for questioning by Detective Cortez, who wanted to know about her relationship with Cecelia McDowell. Elena told him the truth. She hardly knew Cecelia. She had no connection whatsoever to the girl. And she definitely didn’t have anything to do with her disappearance.But, somehow, Detective Cortez seemed to think otherwise.Probably because of her own stupid mistake. But was it really a mistake?If she had admitted to the fact that the night she caught Richard and Cecelia in the hotel she did more than just threaten the two—she had hit Richard so hard in the head, that he lost consciousness and was admitted to the hospital—she had a feeling the detective wou

Elena watched Richard’s car leaving the mansion from the window of her room, frowning to herself.Why did he come here? What did he think would happen if he showed up unannounced like that? But most importantly, how did he find out about her? The fact that she lived here? Did that mean he knew now that she wasn’t just any Matthews but the daughter of one of the richest industrialists in the country?This sudden disappearance of Cecelia sure ruined her plans ever so gracefully.She sighed into her chest, running a hand through her hair.She needed to be more careful now. Needed to stay away from Richard and his toxic family. And maybe focus on her brother now. He was the only one who mattered. Josh and Caleb. That’s it. No one else.Elena returned to her bed and sat down, taking off her heels, one by one. She was tired. Exhausted even. Just wanted to rest. Sleep. And forget about the world for a few hours. Maybe when she woke up next time, things would be better.But she knew that wasn

“What do you even want to hear?” Melinda shouted, as she glared at Richard with teary eyes. “Your sister is missing, dammit! And you want to know why that bitchy wife of yours left? What the hell is wrong with you?”Richard looked away, unable to understand why was it so hard for this woman just to answer one damn question. All he wanted to know was why Elena left that night. What happened that night? Was the media right to accuse him of having an affair with his step-sister? Why couldn’t he fucking remember anything from that night? Why was it all fucking blank?“Just give me an answer, Mom. I’m not asking for too much, am I?” He tried again, hoping maybe if he lowered his tone, she would be more reasonable and would not take an offence, again.“But why the hell does it matter?” Melinda shook her head, still glaring. “She left you when you needed her the most? She left you without a fucking word. And you still can’t stop chasing after her? Where the hell is your dignity? Are you even

“Are you sure you’re going to be okay?” Elena asked her six-year-old nephew, hoping she could still convince him not go to camping with the school.She knew school was safe and the teachers and staff would do anything to keep their students out of trouble, but she was still worried. What if Caleb got hurt? Or worse, got sick? What if he accidentally poisoned himself? What if there was a bear in the forest they were going to be camping in? The thought of Caleb being in danger was enough to make Elena’s heart skip a beat and her palms get sweaty. She couldn’t lose another member of her family. She was too terrified. The only reason she even signed the permission letter in the first place was because Caleb had been excited. He had been looking forward to camping since the day he heard about it and she didn’t want to ruin it for him by asking him not to go.“I’ll be fine, Aunt Elena,” Caleb reassured her, his cute dimples showing. “Don’t worry.”Elena nodded reluctantly, forcing a smile

“Ma’am, you can’t go inside like that!” the woman outside Richard’s office tried to stop Elena, standing between her and the door.Elena frowned, shooting daggers at the poor woman’s already panicked eyes. “I need to see your boss.” She gritted out, not in the mood to take anyone’s shit. She wanted to see that crazy ex-husband of hers. She wanted to knock some sense into his bloody head, right fucking now.“And you will,” the woman said calmly. “But first, you need to calm down.”There was a sense of familiarity in her posture as if she knew who exactly Elena was.Good. That meant she wouldn’t have to waste time introducing herself. Not that she had any plans to. She just wanted to get rid of this fucking bastard who couldn’t mind his own fucking business?What was his problem anyway? Why couldn’t he just leave her alone? Sure, by exposing him and his affair with Cecelia she might have invited his attention back onto her but did he really need to make her life hell every single second
