Chapter 91: Across the street

**Valerie** I sat on a bench, surrounded by the soothing sounds of the breeze rustling leaves and birds chirping. The park was quiet, with only a few people strolling by. I drew my knees to my chest, my eyes squeezed shut, savoring the feel of the air on my skin as I allowed my mind to wander. It had already been a couple of days, but my mind kept replaying the scene at Lucas's house that day—the pictures of Ashley in his drawer. I'd done my own investigating, but there was nothing that connected Ashley and Lucas. Hell, we'd never even met, let alone anything more. Should I confront him? Maybe, I don't know. Perhaps I should act neutral and ask him who the woman is? That's probably what I should have done that day. I gritted my teeth. Frustration was eating me alive, a flood of unanswered questions swirling in my mind. I willed myself to push the thoughts aside. I needed to shift my attention to the task at hand—Karen's prank. "Val," a voice called out from behind me. I opened

Chapter 92: Prank tonight

**Valerie**“I think we should leave,” Matt suggested.Yeah, we should. But just not yet.Lucas crossed his arms, not breaking eye contact with me as he leaned against his car.The staring competition went on for a few more minutes until Matt tapped on my shoulder. "Val?" And I imagine his gaze had been darting between me and Lucas.My eyes shifted briefly to Matt, who was now holding my arm, and before they could return to Lucas, he was already in his car, driving off.I frowned. What the hell? What was that?Then a thought struck me. *It's not stalking since I don't know that you close windows before taking off your bra.*Is that probably how he found me here? Did he continue stalking me?I thought it was cute back then. “Silly me,” I groaned. But now, it's really creepy knowing that he might be watching my every move and he could harm me at any time.“What's that?” Matt asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.My brows furrowed. “What?”“You groaned just now and mumbled some words. I

Chapter 93: You watched me drown

**Third person**Karen stood in front of the bathroom sink, her toothbrush hanging midair as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. She took in the wrinkle lines sitting on her forehead; she had somehow managed to go through three years of ageing in a week.Her phone rang, shrill in the silence. A tremor coursed through her as she watched the device ring with the unknown number displayed.She wouldn't answer it. What if it was Ashley?Karen watched the phone ring two more times before the device beeped, a text message notification displaying on her screen.She wiped on her screen and opened it, her grip on her toothbrush tightening as she read through the message: "My blood is in your hands... literally."Karen spun around, her eyes wildly scanning the bathroom as if checking whether Ashley's form was watching her. She took a deep breath when she didn't see anything.“Calm, be calm, Calm,” she chanted to herself, her trembling hands reaching for the tap and turning it on with a j

Chapter 94: Hello ladies

**Third person**“I'm sorry, Ash,” Karen began shouting. “I slapped you that day; I know I shouldn't have. I called you all sorts of names. I… I…” Her voice broke. “I killed you; I watched you drown.”“I'm sorry, okay?” Her voice was softer, and she was sobbing. “We're sisters after all, aren't we?”Adam just stood there, dread filling him. His mind reeled, his heart pounding in his chest as he watched Karen make a fool of herself.He'd taken a few steps towards his wife to console her when a vase on the coffee table suddenly exploded, shattering into a hundred pieces. The sound was deafening, and Karen's eyes went wide as she stumbled backward."Oh God, oh God, oh God!" She screamed, her hands flying up to cover her ears.Adam's heart was racing as he stared at the shattered remains of the vase, a cold chill running down his spine as he stood there, frozen. Just then, Karen's phone started ringing again, shrill and insistent. She hesitated for a moment, her fear turning to rage, and

Chapter 95:

**Valerie**We both turned to see Lucas standing there, looking ravishing. His piercing blue eyes locked onto mine, and I felt a jolt of electricity run through my body.Today, he was wearing a pair of dark, fitted jeans that accentuated his well-muscled physique. The first three buttons of his crisp, white shirt were open, revealing a generous amount of his chiselled chest. I rolled my eyes at the urge to flatten my palm on his chest.A feeling of déjà vu washed over me as my eyes shifted to the toned forearms that his rolled-up sleeves exposed. This moment right here felt like it had happened before—me, Lucas, and Frances. We were…"Mind if I join you guys?" He asked, snapping me back to reality. His voice was husky, his gaze fixed on me and a sly glint in his eye. He ran a hand through his perfectly messy hair, and his piercing blue eyes seemed to gleam in the dim light of the club. I swallowed hard and looked away, my thighs involuntarily clenching at the memory of the last sex

Chapter 96: How should I know?

Chapter 96:**Lucas**Today is my lucky day. Fate had pushed us to meet at the bar. Well, it's not really fate since I've been following her around and watched her enter here, right?Yes, it is. But I'll just call it man-made fate.After waiting for about an hour, I'd just walked into the bar and spotted her. Those seductive gray eyes will be the end of me. From the first time I saw her in daylight, I knew there was something about her… special, beautiful…But how could I have guessed that she was somehow Ashley?Ashley was perfection—thick and curvy. And Valerie? Wow, Valerie literally knocks the air out of me.I had been indirectly trying to point her in the direction of the truth all night, making subtle references to her past. Maybe she'll finally remember.She'd not believe me if I told her, so I wanted her to figure it out herself.My eyes remained on her as I watched her think of a response to give me; Why did she leave that night?My Val looked like she wished the ground would

Chapter 97: It wasn't a match

Chapter 97:**Lucas**Just then, I could feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I pulled it out and checked the caller ID—Detective Mike. Then I sighed, my eyes shifting back to Valerie. “Sorry, I have to take this.”She nodded, and I made my way outside the club to the parking lot, where it was quiet."Mr. Stone, it's Detective Mike.”“I know,” I replied. “What's going on?”“You're off the suspect list for Layla's murder,” he confided.“Really?” My brows furrowed in surprise. “That was fast.”“Yes, your alibi was confirmed, and new evidence came up.”"What kind of evidence?” My tone was dripping with a mix of surprise and curiosity. “Did they find the killer?”"Well, it seems Layla might have taken Valerie's car from the party without permission,” he explained. “We found a witness who says Layla was intoxicated and arguing with someone earlier that night."I cocked my brow at his statement, but I didn't respond to it. Taken without permission? Isn't that stealing?"I see.” I nodded. “An

Chapter 98: Crazy details

**Lucas** I stood there for a while, contemplating whether to interrupt the session or keep moving. And neither of them noticed my presence. These two… When did they… Finally deciding to interrupt, I cleared my throat. Once. Twice. Then Calvin spotted me first. His eyes widened, and he immediately broke the kiss. “Mr… Mr. Stone?” He stuttered. “What are you doing here?” Frances equally turned to look at me, her cheeks turning red as she tucked a stray hair behind her ear and then adjusted her blouse. “I could ask you the same thing,” I said to Calvin, an amused chuckle leaving me. “When did you two…” “Tonight,” replied Frances with a small roll of her eyes. “And now you're spoiling the fun,” she grumbled, wrapping her arms around her chest. I cocked a brow, surprised. And my eyes shifted to Calvin. “What did I miss?” “Uhm, sorry. I wanted to keep a watch on you. To drive you home in case you're drunk this time.” His lips twitched slightly to imply his meaning. “Thanks for kee

Chapter 99: My Little touch

**Valerie** I swallowed. “Crazy details about what?” I knew what he was talking about. “How does she know what happened on the ship that night?” Must have been the question in his mind, since that prank. “Your friend…” he began. “She's in her own world.” He paused and sucked his teeth. “She clearly believes that she knows what happened on the night my ex-wife died.” “She does?” I echoed, trying to keep my voice casual, but I could hear the slight tremble in it. “What do you mean?" "Valerie..." He hissed, and I could see his jaw tighten. “I like you. But don't play dumb with me," he gritted out, his voice rising. "The details you sent to Karen...the specifics…” My expression was innocent, but he glared at me like he could see through me. Like he could see the lies from my eyes. “The details about what?” I widened my eyes, feigning ignorance. I knew that I was pushing it but I couldn't help it. He rolled his eyes, and I could tell that he was on the brink of losing it. “The deta

Chapter 100: I'll shoot

**Third person** The air in the Harrisons' dining room was filled with the aroma of roasted vegetables, grilled meat, and other delicacies. Mr. Harrison and Mrs. Harrison sat at the head and foot of the table, respectively. While Karen and Adam sat across from each other. "So, sweetheart," Mrs. Harrison began, her voice laced with concern as she turned to face Karen, "are you absolutely sure you need to leave?" Karen, her gaze fixed on her plate, toyed with her fork. "I'm certain... I just need some space. To breathe, you know?" Mrs. Harrison exhaled heavily. "But you'd attend the charity gala before leaving at least. Won't you?” “When's that?” Karen asked. “Saturday.” “Uhm, well.” Karen seemed to contemplate for a moment before she replied, “I don't know yet.” Mrs. Harrison gave her daughter a pleading look, causing Karen to groan in resignation. “Okay, fine. I'll attend.” Mr. Harrison, who had been observing Adam with a hawk-like intensity throughout the conversation, final
