CHAPTER 131_ My Guilt

BACK TO MY APARTMENT_Eva flopped onto the couch, exhausted from her long day at work. I joined her, and we spent the next hour together chatting about everything and nothing. Eva filled me in on the latest gossip at Eclipse. I've honestly missed that environment and I shared some funny rumors ongoing about my classmates.As we talked, she suddenly paused. "What's wrong? I asked,"You've not been to school in a while, Quinn."I shrugged at that information, but Eva's face held a stern look. "W_hat? Honestly, Eva, I don't know if I can do this anymore."Her eyebrows furrowed in concern. "What do you mean? Does this mean you're considering dropping out of school?"I sighed, feeling a mix of emotions. "What do you think? I just don't have the zeal for it anymore. Dealing with people, always being in the public eye...it's just too much."Her face fell, as she reached out to grab my hand. "Listen Quinn, you can't give up now. I know how hard you've struggled to get here. You've come so far,

CHAPTER 132_ Answers and Lies

As we arrived at the hospital, a swarm of paparazzi descended upon us. It's crazy how widely bad news ends up spreading, and the way they were so eager for any scoop on the tragedy. They bombarded me with questions, but thankfully, Eva took the lead as she swiftly intervened, pulling me through the bulging crowd.“She’s such bad luck” someone from the crowd sneered, and I couldn’t help but agree.I’ve never had the smoothest part of living. Was there a word worse than "unlucky?" because that’s exactly what I was.Eva continued to guide me, her firm grip on my wrist as I stared blankly ahead, allowing her to take charge.-----------As I stood in the hospital's cold hallway, the detective's words still echoed in my mind. I had just seen Catherine's lifeless body, and the reality of her death hit me like a ton of bricks.The detective handed me a card. "Come to the station whenever you're ready, Ms. Quinn. We need to discuss some things."I nodded numbly, my eyes fixed on the card. Eva's

CHAPTER 133

I slowly opened my eyes, grogginess clouding my mind. Where was I? The last thing I remembered was...was Jasper's face. And then everything went black.A gentle voice spoke beside me. "Quinn, can you hear me?"I turned my head, wincing at the pain that shot through my temples. Eva's face came into focus, her eyes filled with concern."Wh-what happened?" I stuttered, trying to sit up.Her hands gently pressed me back onto the bed. "Don't try to move, Quinn. You're in the hospital. You were hurt pretty badly."Hurt? Hospital? Memories began to flood back – the house, the fight, Jasper's desperate eyes...Eva narrowed her eyes slightly. "If you weren't still recovering, I'd be tempted to slap some sense into you," she snapped, her voice firm but laced with worry. "What were you thinking, pulling a stunt like that? You scared me half to death."I looked down, feeling a sting of guilt. "I'm sorry, Eva," I mumbled.Her expression softened a little bit, but her tone remained stern. "Are you

CHAPTER 134_ The Last

QUINN'S POVI sat on the kitchen island, watching as Eva expertly piped icing onto a new batch of freshly baked cupcakes. The aroma of sweet vanilla and melting chocolate filled the atmosphere, transporting me to those happy times when we just stayed home and baked all day."I'm finally considering your option of relocating," I said, breaking the comfortable silence between us. Eva's eyes shined with excitement as she turned to face me."Really?" she asked. "I've been thinking it's actually for the best, Quinn. You deserve a fresh start, away from all this drama and stress." I nodded in agreement, feeling a gush of determination wash over me. "Once this case is settled, I want nothing to do with this environment any longer," I declared.Eva smiled warmly, her eyes crinkling at the corners as she dragged my cheeks with her cream-stained hands. "I'm glad you're finally seeing reasons with me," I shrugged, watching her as she paused and placed her hands over the cupcakes to smooth them

CHAPTER 135_ In his making

QUINN'S POV--------------I arrived at Bryan's estate in no time. I assumed he would be home since it was the weekend. But little did I know, I was in for a surprise. The security men refused to let me in."I'm sorry, ma'am, but I need to confirm with the boss," one of them said, his words very blunt. I watched as he moved away to make a quick phone call.I didn't back down. "I don't care about your protocol," I snapped. They knew exactly who I was, so hindering me from entrance made me fuel up even more. "I need to see Bryan, now."The security men exchanged uneasy glances, clearly intimidated by my outburst, but after a few minutes of chattering on top of my voice, they finally let me in."Ma'am, you can proceed," one of them said, stepping aside.I drove through the gates, my heart racing with anticipation as I pulled up to the main house and stomped out of the car in annoyance.I marched into the house, my footsteps echoing behind me as I quickly made my way upstairs. I burst ope

CHAPTER 136_ Reconsideration

I walked back into the hospital, my feet just moving on autopilot. I approached the nurse's station where a friendly face disclosed that the children were awake.My heart skipped as I followed her to the children's ward. As we entered the room, my eyes landed on two tiny bundles of joy, sitting up in their beds and looking around with curious eyes as Maya made descriptions in the air like she was telling them a story. My eyes welled up with tears just from watching them.Maya caught my gaze and said, "Okay, kids, I want you to meet someone special. This is your Aunt Quinn." The little boy, with his messy brown hair, looked up at me and grinned. "Hi, Aunt."Avery, with her big brown eyes and curly pigtails, looked up at me and said, "Aunt Quinn, Mama says you're a fighter."I chuckled, taking a seat between their beds. "Well, I try my best to help people feel better and you guys have to be strong, okay?."They nodded as I took Avery's hand in mine. "I'll do my best to make you feel bet

CHAPTER 137_ A bluff and a prayer

LUCAS POVI sat in the dining room, surrounded by papers and files. Vic had managed to get his hands on some documents, but not everything I had asked for. I was amazed as I read through the papers - every detail, every story I had been told, was true.But I knew I had to be careful. Vic had warned me that if I presented this evidence, I could be in trouble for trespassing. I didn't want to risk it, so something else had to be done. I sat there, lost in thought, as my dad walked into the room. "What's going on, Lucas?" he asked, when he noticed the look of concern on my face."I have been trying to get in touch with B. Bryan for weeks now, but I just can't seem to get an appointment," I said, expressing my frustration.My dad raised an eyebrow. "Oh well, I can't help you with that," he added, as he proceeded to pour himself a glass of water.I nodded, trying to appear cool. "Yeah, I was thinking, maybe you would know someone who could help me get an appointment?"He shook his head. "

CHAPTER 138_ His words

MATT'S POVI quickly grabbed my phone and dialed Eva's number, my mind on edge with anticipation. When she answered, I could hear the faint sound of chattering and music in the background."Hello, Eva. I need to see you right away," I said, trying to convey that it was urgent without alarming her."I'm in the middle of an event, Matt. Can we reschedule for later?" She asked, almost screaming into the phone.I hesitated for a moment before responding. "I'm afraid it can't wait, Eva. Is Quinn with you?" I asked, in hopes that Quinn's presence might make her more willing to leave."No, she stepped out a while ago, saying she had somewhere to go. What's going on, Matt? You're beginning to get me worried," she asked, her tone laced with concern.I took a deep breath before responding. "There's someone I want you to meet, Eva. Someone who has information that might be...enlightening. Please, just trust me on this. I'll text you the address. Can you get here as soon as possible?"Eva hesitate

CHAPTER 139_ The price

LUCAS'S POVWe were able to get the directions to Bryan's floor and office number. I turned to my dad, who was busy hovering anxiously beside me. "Dad, could you please wait outside for a minute? I'll just go and... uh... drop off these documents."My dad nodded, though his eyes betrayed him. He still looked scared. "Okay, son. Be careful."I watched as he stepped outside, then I turned my attention back to the receptionist. She looked up from her desk with a polite smile on her face. "Hi there, can I help you?""Hi," I replied, trying to sound confident. "I'm here to drop off urm... some documents from City Audit Services."The receptionist's eyes lit up with interest. "Oh, great. Let me just take those from you."I hesitated, realizing that I didn't actually have any documents to hand over. Due to my find-outs, I noticed his company had a thing with the city audit service, and didn't even know when I blurted it out. Luckily, it worked for me."Uh, actually... I think I might have le

CHAPTER 140_ The search for truth

BRYAN'S POVMy mind was traveling as I tried to process the information Lucas had just dropped on me. I thought back to my childhood, to the countless times I asked my mother about my father's death. She always told me the same story: Sutherland had betrayed my father, and his death was no accident. She would whisper it to me in hushed tones, her eyes always filled with tears, sadness and fear whenever she remembered. It became a really difficult topic that I dreaded ever mentioning to her.But now, Lucas is telling me that Sutherland wasn't responsible? It didn't add up. I felt this sudden feeling of anger and confusion. I was supposed to have a meeting with fucking Jasper, but anything could wait right now.I quickly picked up the phone and dialed my assistant's number. "I need you to come to my office right away."As I waited for him to arrive, I paced back and forth in my office, trying to make sense of everything. Lucas's words kept echoing in my mind. Shortly after, there was a
