Samantha’s POV
I pulled him to the bed to sit beside me and moved closer to him, grabbing a pen and a jotter.
“That day, Lauren stopped us on our way, it was very strange and you do agree to that. She did not know about all of the issue so how did she know we were going to be out and on that path?”
“It was definitely the person behind all of this, and as I have said I do suspect Davis. It would be quite easy for him to call Lauren and tell her to stop us from getting there early so as to give more time to the slave masters to get the slaves out.”
“But what could have been the profit that Lauren was looking forward to getting?” Kayden asked me.
“There is only one thing that I know that Lauren wants so much in this life.”
“And what is that supposed to be?”
“You and for her to get you, she has to get rid of me.” I added.
“So you mean you being kidnapped the other day was kind of the fulfilment of Lauren’s condition for delaying us on the other day?”
“That is exactly what I am thinking but then I can not get really sure yet.” I replied him.
“This all makes a whole lot of sense…. If they were both unknown people to me but then… I really can not…..” He pressed his lips into a thin line and I patted his shoulder gently.
“Everything is going to be resolved quite well.” I said to him and he nodded with a small smile on his face.
“You were going to tell me something earlier?” I asked him.
“That’s right, there is one more thing Mantha. Fuck! These things are too complicated!”
“What else is that?”
“This picture, if there is anything about it, I very well know that whoever sent it was trying to ruin the relationship between us.”
“Could that have been Lauren?” I asked, spouting out the first name that came to my mind.
“I do not think so, I had the contact tracked and I just saw the message now, the person who sent this picture to me stays in this very place”
“Stays where? In this mansion?” I asked and he nodded slightly.
“How… How is that even possible? Could it actually be one of the maids or so?” I asked him but he shook his head to signify no.
“It has to be someone who was with us when we were lodged into this hotel and someone who now stays here.”
“There is only….”
“Marie.” Kayden completed my words and I gasped.
“What could actually be her gain in this?”
“I do not know for now what she stands to gain from ruining us. I have struck out the possibility of it being James, apart from the fact that I kind of trust James, I also do not think he can take this picture since he is in the picture and he would not want something that might ruin this relationship with Cassie, right?”
“That’s right, can I take a look at this picture once more?” I requested and he handed his phone to me.
I checked the picture carefully and finally concluded that it had to be Marie.
“I knew it! That girl is really up to no good!” Cara said to me.
“You find anything?” Kayden asked me and I nodded slightly.
“What did you find?”
“The point from which this picture was taken is definitely from the room that Marie occupied, it has to be her and no one else.”
“Why is this Marie so suspicious? Are you sure that she is really also a slave?”
“Yes, I… I… I do recognize her.” I replied.
“You know what? I am going to confront her right now.” I said, getting up from my bed already.
“No, you can’t do that, you are still a bit weak.” Kayden said to me.
“I have to do that right now or I would not be in the right state of mind forever.” I said to him and he got up also.
“Then you have to take me along with you, how about that?”
“Sure.” I replied him, already walking towards the door of the room.
“Gently.” he said, throwing his hands over me comfortingly as we both walked towards the room.
“Why don’t we just go return to our room? I can have her brought to you.”
“No, I must get to her and see her myself! I would not give her the opportunity to create lies before getting to me.” I replied adamantly.
“As stubborn as ever.” Kayden mumbled.
Davis’ POV
I walked into the mansion, I have to go to Alpha Kayden myself, for the past two days, he has been hardly mind linking with me or giving me tasks to do.
It is not like I want to do so many tasks anyways but this does that his trust for me is diminishing so I must confirm the situation of things myself.
I walked past James and Cassie who greeted me respectfully immediately they saw me.
“That is a sign that I still have a lot of respect here.” I said to Ted.
I just hoped that in a matter of hours or days I would be able to gain back his trust. That should be a bit easy if Mantha does not recover her memory of that day.
Me coming here is very dangerous, I know that but then what is life without some risks, life is nothing without those exciting Sparks!
I was walking through the passage that was lined up with rows of room when a familiar scent hit me, it was the scent of my mate, an unmistakeable scent.
The door on the left suddenly opened and a hand stretched out, that was supposed to be Amelia’s hands definitely.
I allowed her to pull me inside the room. I was about to scold her for actually coming here when she very well knows how dangerous it is in here.
“Amelia, do you actually know what you…” My words got stuck in my throat as I saw who was in front of me.
Yeah, she had the scent of Amelia, she had the stature of Amelia but the face… The face did not belong to Amelia.
“Amelia? Is this you or is this someone else?” I asked her carefully.
“My darling mate…. the name is no longer Amelia, the name is Marie.”
