Chapter 81: Prime Suspects

“Excuse you?” Christopher asked them, obviously angry and embarrassed. “You have been invited to the station for a few minutes of questioning,” the same cop repeated again, aggravating Christopher even more.“Do you have an idea what you are talking about? What is my damn business with a murder that happened? I haven’t even been in the country for days now, and the first time I get is this harassment?” Christopher fired at them.“We deeply apologize for this, Mr. Christopher Bridger,” he apologized respectfully. They have been sent on a job, but they were doing it with so much respect that Lily wondered if they would have treated a common or average man in the same manner. “We also know that you would want to hurry home and get some rest with your lovely wife, and also, this is just an invitation for questioning, and we are doing so in your private terminal to avoid public embarrassment,” he elaborated.“You do know that I can cause you to lose your jobs, right?” Christopher threaten

Chapter 82: She Might Be Responsible

Christopher and Lily sat across the inspector as a large desk sat between them; they were settled in now for questioning. “I don’t understand how we could possibly be the prime suspects of this lady you have just spoke about,” Christopher started, totally displeased about the turn of events. “I only met her once, and in case you have forgotten, you are speaking to Christopher Bridger, not some psychopath,” Christopher added angrily. “Why are we the prime suspect?” Christopher ended by asking. “According to the report we got, you were the last people Miss Rosa Benson interviewed before she was murdered,” the inspector said, fixing his gaze on Lily. Lily was uncomfortable, because she could not understand why on earth he was staring at her alone, or mostly. “And what is that supposed to mean?” Christopher asked. “When did she die, and how many other prime suspects have you accosted?” Christopher questioned further. He was spitting anger, and the inspector knew this. “We understand

Chapter 83: A Slip She Cannot Escape

As soon as they stepped into the house, Christopher said, “Come with me.”Lily did not understand the need for that, because she was going to go with him anyway. As they proceeded upstairs, Lily wondered what Christopher wanted to scold her about this time around. The station episode had ended quicker than expected, because Christopher had made a call and much to Lily’s dismay, Aimee had arrived with Christopher’s lawyer and everything had been sorted out.“Do you mind shutting the door?” Christopher asked the moment Lily stepped into the room, making Lily more uncomfortable.She had a thing against confrontations, as they made her nervous, and if they got intense, she would pass out. Regardless, Lily shut the door quietly.“What is it?” She asked, trying not to sound as uneasy as she actually felt.“You do know that you are the reason I went through that embarrassment, right?” Christopher asked, his anger simmering to the surface.“What do you mean?” Lily asked dumbly.“If it wasn’t

An hour later, Lily was ushered into the back of one of Christopher’s car along with Christopher and they were driven out of the compound with his full convoy.Lily had no idea where Christopher was taking her, because didn’t hear his bark orders at his drivers and bodyguard, or maybe he had done before now, but how did that happen? Lily could not stop thinking and worrying and wondering where Christopher was taking her.She couldn’t even dare ask him any questions, because his face were as hard as a rock in anger, and from the corner of Lily’s eye, she occasionally saw him tightening his jaw and grounding his teeth. Lily knew that she had witnessed Christopher’s anger at different times, but this time was just different.He was furious.Lily swallowed hard and allowed Christopher, his drivers and bodyguards to drive her, but she did not wonder for long as it dawned on her where they were going. The route was familiar now, and it brought a sense of dread to Lily’s stomach.They were g

Chapter 85: A Well Cooked Lie

"Please,” Lily begged the moment those words came out of Don Grander’s lips, because she feared for the absolute worst.There was a look of gloominess in Don Grander’s eyes now, and Lily felt that he was going to reveal things to Christopher. Why wouldn’t he when Christopher already almost figured things out? Lily had been speechless and clueless when she had found herself in the situation, so she would not be surprised if Don Grander was equally speechless and clueless as to what to do now.The only problem was the repercussions of the confession.Lily was not afraid to die. Actually, she was, but she would not have been so scared if this was about her alone, but Joe’s life was also at stake. Lily could not bear the thought of Joe’s young and promising life being snatched away from him because of her recklessness. Even if she was dead, she would never forgive herself, and her parents neither.“Make sure you look after Joe; he is your responsibility now.”Those were the last words of

Chapter 86: Fix It!

After Christopher left her with Don Grander and Emily, Lily was thrown into one of the rooms in their mansion and the lights were taken out.Lily spent twenty-hours in the room without anyone coming to see her, and she thought that she had been left to die. Lily did not even get hungry; she could not find appetite in this situation, but all that she worried about was Joe. Ashley’s phone was taken away from her, so there was no way she could reach Joe or Rudney to be sure that Joe was fine.“They can kill me, but they should leave Joe out of this,” Lily cried and begged, but she knew that it was a futile effort, because no one would hear her, and more so, Don Grander’s mind could not be changed if he wanted to have them all killed.She had been worrying, crying, and thinking for hours, and it made her head ache badly. It intensified so badly that Lily had to rest her head on the wall and close her eyes. She wanted to rest her head to see if the dull ache in the middle of her head would

Chapter 87: The Punishment Room

“Time for what?” Lily asked fearfully.She was visibly trembling, and it was as though she was seeing Monk’s scary form for the very first time.“You will know when it happens,” Monk said gruffly and he walked over to Lily.Lily cowered and tried to get into the wall, but then again, she wall wouldn’t open and swallow her up, because that was exactly what Lily wished for right now. Monk got to her, and he towered over her like beast about to devour its prey.“What do you mean by it is time?” Lily asked; the word sounded like he was taking her out for execution.Instead of answering her, Monk reached down and grabbed Lily’s hand roughly. Then he began to pull her towards the door. Lily wanted to resist, because fear of the unknown was eating deep into her, but then again, she did not have the stamina to resist, and also, she could never overpower Monk no matter how strong she was.When they got to the door, Lily paused with all the strength that she could muster. “Please, I just want t

Chapter 88: Defenseless

Christopher arrived at work in the morning with a foul mood.Ever since he left Lily back with Don Grander and he returned home, he had been in a foul mood, and he could not exactly state why. When he then had trouble sleeping, Christopher simply concluded that he was just mad at Don Grander for not telling him about the accident, and leading him on to marrying someone who suffered from a head injury.“Good morning, Mr. Christopher!” Trisha greeted cheerily, but there was also a sound of skepticism mingled with her cheerfulness.Christopher grunted in response and walked past her. Trisha was already doing the sign of the cross in relief; it was better to get a grunt as a response to her greeting than being scolded, but before she was halfway done, Christopher stopped and turned to her.“Ask Aimee to come to my office right away,” Christopher instructed.“Yes, sir,” Trisha answered diligently, and she proceeded to do just as she had been instructed.Christopher got into his office feel

Chapter 89: After Punishment Comes Pain

Lily woke up and her body ached badly. She felt as though every part of her bones had been broken, and she could still feel the scars that had been inflicted on her when Don Grander whipped her angrily and forced her to plead for mercy and promise not to ever mess things up again while Emily simply sat there and watched with a sinister smile on her face.Lily tried to move body, but she ended up groaning in pains.She was now laying in Ashley’s main room, but Lily could not exactly tell how she got there. The only thing she could recall was being tortured beyond what she could bear, and maybe she passed out, but hours later, she woke up in Ashley’s room.As Lily looked around the bedroom, she became increasingly afraid.The door opened then, and Lily almost jumped out of her skin in fright, but it was their old maid who had entered the room with a tray and a cup of steaming liquid. It did not smell like soup or coffee, so Lily could not exactly tell what it was.“What do you want?” Li

Chapter 90: A Coy Suggestion

As Christopher left Don Grander’s house and drove back to his mansion, he wondered if he had done the right thing by leaving Lily back at the house.“Why do I feel like I am doing something wrong?” Christopher asked himself.He did not like the fact that he was greatly troubled. As a matter of fact, he should be happy and relieved that he had finally gotten her out of his space, and besides, she was back with her family, so why did he feel so bad about it? Why was he having trouble with himself?“Maybe I should have insisted on seeing her,” Christopher said to himself.Don Grander had told him that the doctor, who had earlier came for checkup had advised that their daughter stayed with them for a couple of days for her to recuperate. According to Don Grander, the doctor had said Ashley was behaving strangely as a result of the new environment; Christopher’s house. Christopher had bought it, hook, line and sinker, especially after Don Grander presented him with the report of Ashley’s f
