Semua Bab The Luna's Awaken Angel : A Battle of Revenge : Bab 21 - Bab 30

The tension was palpable in the police interrogation room, Detective Harris leaning forward, eyes glued to Emily and Alex. Emily’s heartbeat sounded like a drumroll in the corresponding hush, thousands of thoughts clashing in her mind. She had never imagined herself in a situation where doubt was being cast on the integrity of her father."What do you mean, my father is involved in something bigger?" Emily said, her voice quavering slightly in an attempt to keep her composure."First," Detective Harris continued, sorting through the papers in front of him, "for the better part of the last few months. We have been investigating suspicious external activities alongside local businesses, and as the investigations make progress, we have come to know some relationship with your father's latest deals, mostly with his fund-raising for surgery." Emily kept trying to process what he was saying in her mind. "But we, the community, supported us. Everybody came to help him!" she blurted, caught

The tension in the air was near palpable as Emily and Alex stood in the threshold of the kitchen, hearts thumping as one. She could feel the adrenaline coursing through her veins, and instinctively, she sidled up to him, drawing upon his strength."What was that?" she whispered almost inaudibly."I don't know,” came his steady reply. He peered into the shadows of the kitchen. ”Whatever it was, stay close to me." The two of them took a few cautious steps into the kitchen, and Emily's breath stopped in horror at what she beheld. An overturned table with shards of glass gleaming across the floor. She felt a wave of panic trying to piece together what had just happened.“Alex, what if someone forced their way inside?” she stammered.“Let’s check the windows and doors,” he suggested, scanning the room with his eyes. “I’m going to make sure everything’s secure.”With a squezing heart, she wanted to go and help with the back doors as fear mingled with a wave of thankfulness for him stepping

She was cracking under the pressure, and the days flew by blurred with all the activities of Emily, Alex, and Jake in trying to figure out what had happened with her father. Their plan was clear: collect the puzzle pieces and then protect her father at all costs. Uncertainty loomed heavily under the surface, cutting through the nails of Emily as most times she'd find herself lost in thoughts, chewing away what was to come.One night, with an array of notes and documents spread across the kitchen table, Emily felt a presence she knew intimately. Alex reclined against the doorway, arms crossed, looking at her with what could only be construed as admiration-washed concern. "Hey," he said softly. "You've been sitting at this for a while. Maybe it's time to step away from it?"Emily looked up, her lips just forming a bit of a smile. "I can't. There's too much at stake. I need to figure this out.""I get that, but you also need to take care of yourself," he replied, stepping closer. "You c

Together, amidst the renewal of positive energy, they walked toward the kitchen table and returned to their research. The next few hours were spent gathering, noting, and preparing for meetings later that day.When the time came for their appointment with the lawyer, Emily could hardly decide whether to be nervous or excited. They paved the way to the law office, the impressive-looking building signifying the seriousness of the task ahead."Ready?" Alex asked, squeezing her hand as they neared the entrance."I guess," Emily replied and took a deep breath. "We just have to keep our focus."The middle-aged lawyer greeted them in a welcoming manner as they entered, with salt-and-pepper hair and an expression that brooked no nonsense. "Emily, Alex, good to meet you. I understand you have some concerns about your father?""Yes, we're here to collect some evidence to exonerate him," explained Emily, carefully speaking despite her stomach doing somersaults. "We believe he was misled by some

As the day broke, there was a gnawing discomfort within the minds of Emily and Alex, reminding them what they could do. The night had been long yet fruitful strategizing how they would confront Victor, someone they believed to be the father of her father's troubles. This mixed emotion of defiance and fear was aroused once more while making preparations for the day."Are you ready for this?" Alex asked, his voicing firm, wed in the sleeves of the kitchen, the light of morning streaming though its window. "I have to be," Emily said, heart in both quaking and racing. "That's because it determines my dad's future and the truth needs to be uncovered." "Just remember, we're in this together," he said, resting a hand reassuringly on her shoulder. "Whatever happens, we'll deal with it as a team."Emily nodded, feeling the warmth of his support. They hurriedly ate breakfast, with the burden of today's events weighing them down. As they organized their things, Emily could feel the tension ris
