Semua Bab Threads of Betrayal : Bab 81 - Bab 90

What I knew as the once lovely and vibrant space was now looking desolate.A poignant stillness hung thick in the air, as if time itself had surrendered to the inertia of abandonment. The furniture, though draped in the tattered shroud of years, retained a stoic familiarity, frozen in the same arrangement that once cradled conversations and laughter. Dust settled like a heavy fog on the forgotten surfaces, obscuring the once-polished sheen of furniture. Cobwebs, delicate yet pervasive, clung to every corner, weaving a silent elegy for the life that once pulsed within these walls. As the breeze blew the dust-laden curtains clung to the windows, veiling the room in a spectral half-light. Each surface, untouched by the caress of life, bore the patina of neglect. The room, seemingly untouched by the passage of years, held a profound repository of memories, each thread woven into the very fabric of its abandoned existence. It stood as a melancholic shrine to a time when life pulsated throu

"About that I think I might know the reason" Elliot said and I sat up to listen to what he has to say so I signaled him to go on"Here take a look at this" He said displaying some papers in-between us"I found this in your family's photo frame" He saidAs my eyes traced the delicate script in Elliot's hand, a seismic revelation shook the foundations of my world. The weight of my lineage, a mixture of astonishment and betrayal upon uncovering my billionaire lineage, the unspoken wealth concealed by my late mother, unfolded like a clandestine novel, leaving me breathless with a cocktail of emotions."What's this?" I asked showing him the second paper underneath "Here, it's a record of transactions made in your company" He said and I gave him a questioning look"The Cohen's company, your mother's company" He said and I nodded"So according to these there were some transactions made by the CEO which is your Dad to an unknown account" Elliot said and I was confused "Wait my Dad?" I asked

I packed all the pictures and hid them behind my back and went to the living room to see if it was Ary that entered and looked like she was"Hey honey, where have you been since two days ago? I've been trying to reach but your line was unreachable,is everything okay with you?" She asked and I chuckled"As if you really care" I said trying to hold back the tears in my eyes and I could see the shock written all over her face"Is everything okay with you?" She asked again trying to be all caring like she always do"How could you?" I said with my voice trembling a little"Diana, are you okay? I don't understand, what are you saying?" She said faking a worried face"Did you kill my mom?" I asked her and she was surprised at the question I asked"What...what do you mean by that, why would you ask me such a horrible question" She said"Did you fucking kill her?" I shouted at her and she was taken aback"Where is all this coming from? Why would you ask me such huh? Is this what I get from tak

My head banged as the metallic clang of a rod meets my skull echoing through my body, I dropped the keys in my hand and held the back of my head in pain. Time momentarily froze as the searing pain radiated through my skull, also accompanied by a metallic taste on her tongue. And instantaneously, I feel the pain surged, and a searing storm centered at the back of my head. It felt like the world tilted on its axis, spinning into a disorienting abyss.Numbness spread all through my body like wildfire, tinged with the bitter taste of shock. In that harrowing moment, vulnerability gripped my soul as I tried to endure the pain. I feel the world fading away as I crumpled to the ground. And the world plunged into an abyss of darkness as I collapsed."Wakie wakie" I heard a familiar voice say as I felt a rush of water landed on my face."Arrggghh" I said, shaking my head so I could wave the water away. I tried using my hands to wipe the water off my face then I saw I was being tied to a chair

"What are you doing out here in the cold" Elliot asked giving me his coat"Just thinking about everything" I said and wrapped the coat around my body to calm my freezing body from the snow fall.I couldn't get enough sleep last night, I was thinking about everything that had happened. And it all seemed like a nightfall. I kept rolling up and front but couldn't sleep and as soon as the day breaks, I got out of the car and stood out here in the snowIt felt like I have been living a lie all my life and everything just seemed to be interwoven, I don't know who to trust and when to trust. My life all these years have one way or the other been controlled. I was turned to a video game that can be played anyhow you want and in any direction you desire. It all started with the death of Sarah Jordan and now I'm caught between a web of deceits and facing betrayal from those I once trusted. And now I have no idea about what lies ahead of me and how prepared I am to face it."Let's get back to th
