Chapter 161“That was the best three weeks of my life!” Allison squealed with ecstasy as she dropped the last bag that contained her and Shawn's clothes.“Same with me,” Shawn said and planted a quick kiss on her lips.“Are you still going to convince your folks to Greenville University with me?” He asked with desperation.“Shawn,” Allison sighed. “You know how heady my dad can be. I've argued with him way too much about that,” she gave a small smile. “But you can drive down once in a while to see me,” she added placatingly and Shawn shrugged.“Yeah, well er, I'd better go get the car. I'll be back in a few minutes.”Allison watched him walk out of the treehouse before she turned in the direction of Brenda's room.“Brenda! Dave! Aren't you guys done with your cuddling yet?” She teased. “It's been a little quiet in there.”The door suddenly opened and Brenda walked out, arranging her shirt.“Don't be ridiculous, Allison. We were only packing our stuff.”“I see… with your hair and skirt

Chapter 162

CHAPTER 162Both Brenda and her friends were uneasy as they walked into the station.“This was a silly idea,” Dave whispered with a deep frown.“Well, we've already gotten here so there's no point in backing out now,” Shawn whispered back.“Brenda?” A voice called out from one of the hallways and the four of them turned.“I'm Detective Cain,” Cain smiled and looked them over, hoping they were not a bunch of teenagers who had come to play pranks. After all, after the bounty was increased, more stupid calls had increased as well and they seemed tired of it already. “You said you had information for us?”“Yeah… um, about the missing woman,” Brenda stammered.“Alright then. This way please.”Cain led them through the noisy hallway to his office.“Please have a seat. I'm all ears.”“So we've uh…my friends and I stayed at this treehouse in the woods for about three weeks and on one of the days we decided to go hiking. There was this man who lived in a shack. We asked if he wanted to come a

Chapter 163

Chapter 163As the cars sped deeper into the woods, Cain's brows furrowed.Why the hell would anyone decide to spend their holiday in a place so dark and creepy? He then began to suspect that Brenda and her friends were playing pranks on them just like everyone else had been doing.“If this turns out to be a hoax, one of those kids will be going home in a body bag,” he said frustratedly after they drove for another ten gruelling minutes.Tanner chuckled. “Let's be a little patient. It may be worth it after all.”Cain then picked up his walkie talkie.“Officer Barnes, this is Detective Cain. What are the kids saying? We ain't there yet? Over.”“Detective,” Barnes replied. “The kid says were close, their treehouse is just around the corner so the shack can't be that far. Over.”Cain dropped the walkie talkie and gripped the steering harder. Five minutes later, he noticed the police van in front begin to slow down and the police officers were already getting out of it. He parked at a si

Chapter 164

Chapter 164Diane was seated on her sofa, watching TV as she sipped tea from a porcelain cup.It was way past midnight but she didn't seem in the mood to go to bed yet.She heard the wood of the stairs behind her creak a little and then turned to see Abigail rubbing her eyes and yawning.“You still up?” She asked.Abigail gasped softly and placed a hand on her chest. “You scared me for a while.”“Sorry about that. Why are you up? It's past midnight.”Abigail sighed. “I’ve been trying to sleep. It's been three days since I sent that application to Lauren Pierce and there still hasn't been any response. I guess they don't like the idea of a pregnant woman modeling for them,” Abigail shrugged disappointedly.“You may be pregnant but you're still beautiful as ever. You're gonna get the gig, Aby. Don't sweat it,” Diane said with a proud smile.“I know, it's just… I never wanted to settle as a face model, but well, I guess it's better than nothing,” she ran a hand over her swollen stomach a

Chapter 165

Chapter 165“I got a mail. I got a mail!” Abigail said excitedly and all the traces of sleep immediately vanished from her eyes. “What mail?” Diane asked as she walked out of her room, fully dressed with a mirror in her hand.“From Lauren Pierce. All the applicants have been asked to come down to the agency for screening. I have less than an hour! At least one good thing has happened within the week!” Abigail squealed and rushed to get ready."Oh, really?!""Yeah, the email had been in my spam for two days now. I didn't know until I checked it" she squeaked excitedly. “I'll need to take your car, Diane,” she yelled from the bathroom.“Suit yourself,” Diane yelled back and then said to herself. “I'm sure Scott would be eager to drive me back home tonight.”“I heard that! He's your new boyfriend, isn't he?” Abigail said and Diane laughed.In less than thirty minutes, Abigail dressed up in a comfortable yet elegant dress and arrived at the fashion agency. As she stepped out of Diane's

Chapter 166

Chapter 166“I still don't understand why it's so difficult for you to put a call across to him!” Marcus shouted. “We've been waiting for hours for fucks sake!”They were now in a bigger house with lesser windows and only one sofa as furniture. Mann was staring out blankly from one of the windows.“You know, Mr Dreame, you complain too much for a man.”“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” Marcus scowled and lunged towards him.“You come in at the middle of the night and sweep us all away without explanation and you want me to be quiet and act like nothing happened?”“No, I'm only asking you to be patient,” Mann replied cooly.“Don't tell me that bullshit! My patience expired hours ago. Now call up Xavier.”“Boss is the one who would make the call to us. I'm in no position to call him unless in a serious emergency…”“This is a serious emergency!”“No, it isn't, Mr Dreame. This is just you acting like a scared little girl. Even the woman's doing better than you.”They both turned t

Chapter 167

Chapter 167It had been two days since Marcus was revealed to be the prime suspect in Jane's disappearance. And the forensic tests came out fine that Marcus was the owner of those male accessories as some combs in the bathroom had his hair samples which were tested. The police officers had combed the woods for two whole days yet there was no sign of either Marcus or Jane and there was also no clue left that could lead to them.“They couldn't have just disappeared,” Rose said one morning as they were having breakfast.Caleb had only taken a few slices of his toast and then walked to the living room with his coffee. His mother had been trying to make conversation with him for the past few hours but talking was the last thing he wanted to do. He was preparing to step out one last time with a few officers to search deeper into the woods. He turned on the television.“Have they found out if there's an insider yet?” Rose was speaking only on the topics that related to Jane because she kne

Chapter 168

CHAPTER 168“I'm sorry… what? What's that supposed to mean?” Xavier asked with his brows furrowed in annoyance. Fear flickered in his eyes but he squared his shoulders and maintained an annoyed visage.“Mr Xavier you have a right to remain silent. Anything you say now can, shall and will be used against you in the court of law…”“You can't arrest us!” Rose said. “What the hell did we do? What's all this about? This is an insult to my person!”Caleb watched with his spoon frozen in his hand. Things were happening too fast for his brain to process and he almost thought he was hallucinating when an officer walked to his mother and ordered her to stand.“Hold up! Hold up!” Caleb finally said to the officers as he stood up.“What's all this about?”“They are being arrested as prime suspects in the murder of Miss Stella Rosman,” the officer explained. Rose and Caleb exchanged glances and while Xavier was able to maintain his composure, Rose visibly went pale.“This is crazy! I barely even k

Chapter 169

CHAPTER 169“You're lucky my lawyer is already on his way. You'd better start preparing an explanation for why you had the guts to touch me!” Xavier ranted as the officers led them through the station.Rose on the other hand did not even try to struggle because she knew they were guilty, and her conscience kept battling with her. She did a very bad job concealing the shock expression that was spread across her face. As she watched the officers lead Xavier to one end of the hallway, her eyes landed on two familiar faces and her eyes widened with shock.Stella's parents! Stella's dad was consoling his wife who was shaking and sobbing uncontrollably.“Rose… you…” Stella's father said when their eyes met, but before she could respond, the officers led her away. She could still hear Stella's mother's voice.“I told her to stay away from their family, I warned her…”Xavier was taken to a dimly lit interrogation room, the room was hotter than usual and Xavier swiftly adjusted his tie, the

Chapter 170

CHAPTER 170Lilian, who had heard from Caleb about her mother and uncle's arrest quickly returned back to the state to see them.Rose on the other hand, had just spoken to the detective and was still in a state of shock. Tears rolled down her face as she stared at the photos of her and Xavier sprawled on the table. She had initially thought that Stella was bluffing when she said she had kept some clues for her lawyer to give the police if anything happened to her.The door suddenly opened and an officer popped his head in.“Ma’am, your daughter is here to see you,” he informed.“What? My daughter?” Rose asked with surprise and began to clean her face while stacking the photos together hurriely. “Take everything with you,” she told her lawyer. “Leave immediately.”Lilian stepped in just as her lawyer walked out.They both stared at each other for a long time and Lilian's steady gaze was like hot iron searing her heart. Every second of silence that passed reminded Rose that she had now
