Kent went home with a tiger’s face. He was furious to find out how Eloisa managed to betray him and keep him a secret.
She had a lot of excuses to explain. Now that he knew everything about her bad intentions to Lucy and him, he won’t let it slide.
“Eloisa! Where are you? Let us talk!”, Kent’s roaring voice echoed inside the mansion.
He went inside their room but there’s no sign of Eloisa. He looks fo Austin but he’s not inside his room too. He started to feel nervous. What if Eloisa found out that Greta was Lucy? What if Gale told her the truth?
Kent went to her office but it was locked. He went to their basement to find a hammer to destroy it. He felt relieved when the door swung open. He quickly went inside and hoping to find any evidence or information about her dirty business back then when she put Lucy to prison. He also wanted to confirm if their marriage and adoption paper for Austin are all fabricated.
He first checks the bookshelves to find an answer.
” Come on. I know there is something in her office.” He uttered while hoping to find anything.
He felt lost after one hour of searching until he finally decided to quit.
“I think she hides it somewhere!”, he added.
His eyes roamed again for the last time. He checks her drawer again but nothing there. He looked up and saw a picture of Eloisa. Nothing registered to his mind while looking at it until he walked closer to look at it closely.
Kent POV
I just realized that her picture frame was not just a frame, it’s part of the wall.
I find a way how to open it until I decided to slide it and it works. There’s no lock since she made the frame itself sealed.
My eyes widened to see a pile of documents, pictures of Lucy and her dad Raphael and several mobile phones. I took them out. I can’t believe that she was busy doing her dirty little secrets without telling me. I was like a foolish husband to believe in everything she said. I now realized that I became her puppet for many years and without Lucy, I didn’t have the chance to find how evil my fake wife was.
I crouch on the floor and saw Gregory’s gruesome photo. My body shivered in shock. I feel like I am looking at the photo of a dead pig. Why Eloisa had a photo of Gregory’s dead body? Why then keep it here?
I saw the rope, bonnet, creepy mask, black raincoat, and a sharp knife here. There’s more, I saw a gun inside the plastic with a bullet outside.
” What the hell this thing doing here?”, I mumbled.
I took them all and decided to keep them. I quickly put them on the empty garbage bag and put back the frame in its proper position. I quickly made my way to my car to hide them. I was stunned to see Eloisa and Austin coming my way. I didn’t see them at the harden So how come they’re only here around the house.
“Daddy! I miss you.” Austin shouted as he runs closer.
I saw Eloisa’s crumpled face. Maybe she’s mad because I didn’t come home last night.
” Dilan, get inside. Daddy and mommy will come after!”, she told Austin and she quickly ran back inside the house.
Eloisa’s sharp eyes seem like fire ing inside my soul. I feel relieved she didn’t saw me holding a garbage bag in my hands.
“Where did you sleep last night?”, her voice growled like a tiger.
I feel anxious and terrified but that was a long time ago. I don’t care if my dad had a huge debt to them. It’s time to reveal what kind of a businessman Mr. Sherlock is. I just keep my mouth shut to protect my father and our family’s reputation but maybe it’s time for me to be a man. It’s time for me to stand on my own. I will not let anyone dictate to me what to do. For Lucy and our son Austin, I will end their miseries and Eloisa’s wrongdoings.
I raised my brows like I don’t care about her.
” I can do whatever I want just like you. Tell me, my dear Eloisa, where are you yesterday noon?”, I asked her the same question.
She started to shift her eyes away from me to find an alibi.
“I was at dad’s office, right? When you left, I stayed until evening!”, she told me her alibi.
I can’t believe that she’s still telling an untruth even I had proof.
” Really? How about this one?”, I said while showing her my phone with their pictures outside the motel until they walked inside like a newlywed couple.
Her eyes widened and she quickly grabs my phone.
