CHAPTER FIFTY - ONE

Not like I had much belonging but I went back into the study to pick up my painting supplies. I was so hotheaded and I didn’t just want to listen but get away from all of this as soon as possible. I stood there and looked at the painting that I was almost done with and pondered if I should take it along with me or leave it here half done, it would be useless to Julian half done anyway so what’s the point in taking it. Just then I heard the door open and I knew it was Julian so I wanted to hurry off again but he stopped me.“Please wait and listen to me……you are not even giving me a chance to say something or explain myself” Julian said.“What is there to explain Julian? Your father is the same man who plotted with you to kidnap and put me in danger, all because of some painting!” I yelled out. “Yes!!…..it’s true that I initially obeyed my father to kidnap you to paint the Elysium simply because I thought he just wanted to have a copy of the painting” Julian said.“You really expect

“You know I continued painting even when I was held captive back at Xavier’s residence and I found a clue” I said.“You found a clue?” Julian asked.“Yes, I found a clue hidden in the painting” I said. “Wow…… I never knew this painting could hold something like that” Julian said.“I need to show you something” I said as I stood from the bed and walked towards the painting. I tilted the painting sideways to show Julian the hidden phrase I found in the painting“Do you see this?” I said to Julian as I pointed to a part on the painting. Julian came forward and took a closer look at the painting and finally he saw the hidden phrase.“Yes!…. I see it!” Julian said.I put the replica back in its original position and then took the original painting and tilted it sideways in the same position as I did the replica.“Do you see it here too?” I asked Julian.Julian looked in the same direction at the painting. “Yes, I see it there too. What do you think the phrase means” Julian asked.I st

CHAPTER FIFTY - THREE

I was awake now as my eyes slowly opened and looked around. Right there, I found Julian right beside me as I had slept in his arms. I adjusted a bit gently and looked at him as he lay there, his eyes closed. I could tell that I was completely in love and mesmerized by him. My hands slowly went over to his face as I traced my finger over his brows, over his eyelids and then over his lips when I suddenly heard him speak.“They are all yours” Julian said with a soft smile, his eyes still closed.I quickly tried to adjust myself away from him as I was embarrassed that I was caught but he pulled me into his arms and held me, completely covered with his arms.“Let’s stay like this for a few minutes…….I don’t want to separate from you just yet” Julian said with a smile.I decided not to break away but remain in his embrace, his sweet scent all over me.******************************************************We were all gathered now. Julian and I had told Frederick all about the clues we fou

Officer Petra headed to the hospital where Asher was hospitalized after the stabbing incident he had with Marve and his partner. Asher was eating when officer Petra walked into the room.“What did I do again?” Asher asked sarcastically as he stuffed a piece of food into his mouth.“Well it’s about time you get outta here” officer Petra said.“Can you guys please stop joking with things like this….I guess that’s not happening seeing as I am still handcuffed” Asher said.Officer Petra moved closer to him and unlocked his cuffs with her keys.Asher quickly removed his hand from the cuffs and flexed it a bit to improve blood flow.“So I’m really free to go?” Asher asked.“What other proof do you want to believe you’re free to go?” Officer Petra said.“But the other detective said—…..what about the substance I had on me?” Asher inquired.“Well you could have just told us it was just crushed aspirin and save us the stress of testing it” officer Petra said and smiled wryly.“Crushed aspirin

I mean, there must be some back story that I am n

CHAPTER FIFTY - SEVEN

Frieda stood from where she sat and headed outside the building. She came out now and didn’t see or notice anyone in front of the building so she brought out her phone and dialed the number.“I’m outside the building but there is no one here” Frieda said.“Please walk to the right side of the building, you’ll see me there” the voice said.And so Frieda kept the call going and walked to the right side of the building and at last, she saw a man who looked like a chauffeur standing right next to the back seat’s door.“Are you the one on the phone?” Frieda asked as she looked at the ongoing call.“You must be miss Frieda” the chauffeur said as he showed her the call from his own phone and this confirmed their identity.“Yes……I thought we were having the meeting here at the Convention Centre” Frieda asked.“Yes, that was the initial plan but some urgent things came up for my client and she pleads you have the meeting back at her suite” the chauffeur said and gestured her to get in the car.

CHAPTER FIFTY - EIGHT

“It’s pretty simple, paint the damn replica or you die. We don’t have to be dramatic about it” Xavier said.“Please don’t kill me, I am as good as dead the moment I paint the replica. Please let me go and I won’t say a word” Frieda pleaded.“Agree to paint the replica and you won’t have to die, it’s quite simple don’t you think?” Xavier said. “Why does it have to be me?” Frieda asked.“You were the easiest to trick into buying one of your pieces, what’d did you call it? Resonance?” Xavier said and burst into laughter and went away to the restroom. It was at this point that Frieda knew that she had woefully made a grave mistake and there seem to be no way out. She suddenly remembered her uncle’s words to be careful and wished she had just listened to her head instead of her heart. In the process of regretting her decisions, Frieda felt a slight bulge in the back pocket of her jeans and remembered that she had put the pen recorder Detective Garrett had given her as a present the last

CHAPTER SIXTY

“You must be her uncle Karl, your number was the only emergency contact we found in her wallet……I’ll give you both some time” the morgue attendant said and exited the room. Detective Garrett began to sob in pain and deep hurt.“I’m so sorry pumpkin….I’m so sorry I wasn’t there to protect you….I’m so sorry, please wake up and say something. I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry” Detective Garrett kept saying as he ran his hands over her face, still unable to believe that his only niece and relative left was gone. “How you must have felt all alone and scared pumpkin…..I shouldn’t have let you go, I shouldn’t have let you go” Detective Garret kept muttering as he held her body in his arms and wept profusely.
