Delilah’s Pov
I stepped back a bit, my eye lid shut unnecessarily I looked back at Alec.
“Scared? ” I didn’t give him a reply I went silent he smiled. “Well that’s all you have to do to free Hunter, imagine freeing Hunter he’ll be all yours.” he cooed into my ears my uneasy glare meets me, I shook my head.
“I can’t.” I stuttered replaying the horrible thoughts in my head. “She’s not alive even if I wanted to.” he smirked at my reply.
“Disappearing is different from death, she’s very much alive and in hiding and the only person that knows about her is your fuckboy.” he was talking about Derek.
“Why don’t you do it yourself? ” I asked.
“Derek doesn’t give a damn about the family business and he sees the code as stupid but he knows very well the power his family has but yet choose to live the life of a casanova and with your connection with him you can easily get him to spill than we could.” he said bracing his nape.
“And she knows we will be coming, unlike you she won’t suspect you coming for her it’s out of the book, it will increase your chances in killing her all you have to do is get her location.” he said.
“I can’t, I just can’t.” I retorted and he nodded.
“I understand you are still shocked on the whole thing but you know you are putting yourself in a huge risk if Hunter finds out that you killed Regina and your father, what will he think of his innocent ex wife, what would people think when you are behind bars.” he hinted while I snarled at him. “get our of my house before I get the authorities.” he just snickered at my threats.
“And what do you think they are going to do when they spot a bloody scissors in your apartment.” his eyes orbed soulless like those of the devil, I peek in to see some emotions of pain he was hiding in those eyes.
What pain could he be hiding?
“Get out of my house.” my voice amplified, he just scoffed and walked past me to my door.
“I know you will change your mind, you are just like me we do anything to get what we want till then we’ll send you our contact, you can reach us when you are ready.” he shut the door behind him, I back against a wall slow in my thoughts.
“What have I done ?”
Amirah’s Pov
The news about the death of Mr Bennett spread like wild fire, Paisley woke me up with a phone call about the death of her father, she said something about him committing suicide, I was shocked it was all too much, first Regina, now mr Bennett I couldn’t help but point my fingers at that it was more than a suicide, come on how can two people just succumb to suicide in just a short amount of time.
Something is definitely wrong.
Hunter wanted to check it out since the police were just dating out the evidence, I was at the back of the car with Kaleb who was going through his tablet probably texting someone or going through some files he was just smiling awkwardly.
Thiago was up front with Hunter, scaling the environment until we got to the mansion, we all alighted from the car shutting the door of the car, Paisley ran up to me in tears.
“Paisley.. ” I muffled out breathlessly she squeezed the life outta me.
“He killed himself.” she tried to word out her frustration but she almost made my pancreas pop out.
“I’m sorry, we will get through this I promise.” she hugged me tightly the more and I’m sure I didn’t feel my ribs.
“Hunter? ” Delilah ran out of the mansion to meet Hunter and hugged him, I felt myself burning up for some reason, me and Paisley pulled away from the hug while I watched Delilah hug Hunter like her life depended on it.
Her muffled tears felt so fake to me I couldn’t tell if it was the fact I was jealous that she’s using this as an advantage or I just don’t like her.
I don’t like her.
“Hunter, I’m glad you came.” Delilah mourned while I rolled my eyes in disgust, Hunter pulled away from the hug and just nodded but she still pressed herself on him.
“Can we have a look at the scene? ” Kaleb asked as Paisley willingly took the lead with Kaleb to the Mansion.
“Shall we? ” Thiago insisted, I looked back at Delilah who was mourning over the death of her father.
“My parents died I didn’t throw myself at Hunter.” I hissed under my breath but Thiago heard. “is Amirah jealous of Delilah? ” he cooed and I scoffed dryly bracing my collarbone. “Jealous of her? ” I scoffed again quickly heading in before Thiago teases me the more.
The Mansion was big and huge, but not as big as the Dominiquez’s Mansion it was huge and classy, police officers were lining up searching the whole place, I twirled focusing my eyes on the black bag and I bet Mr Bennett’s body is wrapped in there.
The spot he died was taped, the officers were busy polishing fingerprints to check if it was covered as murder, I walked up to the dead body, if only I can see his face.
I squatted down and looked if anyone was watching and stretched my hand to the bag.
“What now detective Amirah.” I got up heaving a deep breath and weakly slapped Thiago.
“Are you insane? ” I muttered. “I could have almost died.” I whispered again he rolled his eyes and toss latex gloves at my face I took it off my face and shot him a confused look.
“If you want to have a look at the body at least don’t make yourself a suspect.” he said slapping on some gloves of his own, I wore my own gloves as we both squatted and unzipped the bag when no one was looking, the cops were distracted, Paisley was with Kaleb and Hunter was with Delilah.
He unzipped the bag revealing Mr Bennett’s dead body, normally I’m supposed to be scared but I’m way too used to seeing dead bodies by now.
“What’s the outcome ?” I asked.
“The cops suspect he committed suicide after getting drunk, earlier they found him with a knife and broken bottles, he must have gone mad after hearing Delilah got a divorce or something.” I looked back at Delilah and back at the dead body, I unzipped the bag more to see dried blood from his thorax down to his torso.
My brows furrowed in felt like he was stabbed more than once but somehow it was cleaned or something, why would Mr Bennett of all people commit suicide.
“Where was Delilah ?” I asked. “He couldn’t have gotten the news and decided to kill himself ?” I looked back at Thiago who arched his brows. “Are you insisting Delilah killed her father?” I shook my head sideways.
I zipped up the bag taking off the latex gloves and disposing them into a plastic bag that Thiago carried.
“She sure does love cuddling Hunter and doesn’t feel a damn knowing her father is dead.” I spat bitterly. “Delilah? She can’t kill? She is easily scared and what reasons would she have to kill he father? ” Thiago questioned.
“Maybe so she could get Hunter to feel bad and console his ex wife like right now, she practically did this so she could have Hunter wrapped around her nasty finger.” I frowned, Thiago noticed smirking at me.
“Maybe you’re just being dramatic and jealous that you’re not the only one that can’t tame Hunter.” he gloated while I almost went red.
“Shut up.” I hissed and he just giggled.
“Excuse me, this is a restricted spot, you shouldn’t.. Thiago? ” an officer called, Thiago squinted his eyes studying the face of the stranger, he didn’t actually wear uniform just a plad shirt and faded jeans.
“Ezekiel? You’re still alive? ” Thiago called loudly reuniting with the stranger, he had gloves on and his mask pushed down he had white hair coming from the patches of his hair.
they both disengage from the hug happily while I stood lost.
“Men I thought you died at the pipeline.” Thiago recited. “You thought I died, I’m alive you prick and I’m now the head chief of the police squad after years of paying for my crimes.” I just looked back at them all the more confused.
“Fuck? Congratulations.” they hand shook again.
“OK will you introduce me to your buddy here?” I asked.
