*** *** *** Alina stared at the sky and let out another scream. Who is this person and why are they always two steps before her.Ryan stood where he was, staring at the scene unfolding in front of him. He wasn't here, neither was Asher. Who could have taken Javier's body!? He glanced at Asher, locking gazes with him."Find out who was here as soon as possible." He said it his eyes. Asher nods once, understanding immediately. "Let's return the casket." Ryan tells Alina."No..." Alina declined strongly. "I am not leaving here until whoever took Javier's corpse returns it.""Then you'll wait a very long time." Alina glared at him, ",I don't care."Ryan sighs, "you sitting here is not going to do anything. You would cause more problem for yourself instead. If the family knows what you have done, they wouldn't be so pleased.""The family." Alina seethed, "They must be the one behind this. They probably know I was going to come here for Javier's body that's why they took it first

*** *** *** "In the business world news today, a new company has suddenly emerged to the top. Ranking the first company in California. The company which goes by the name Nolvani, hasn't ever been heard of neither has it owner made a public appearance. No one knows who is operating behind the curtain of the offices but it is now the most reliable and promising company you would want to get a contract with or buy shares from." The lady from the broadcast station said in a monotone voice."I bet you, who ever is the owner of that company is suspicious just as well as he is mysterious. He has other plans." Adams grumbled, chugging down another cup of a brandy wine. Asher glance at his brother but doesn't say anything. He hasn't told his brother that his boss asked him to change the company name and it was their company in the news.After the night they assisted in digging up an empty grave, Ryan hasn't called him to meet up and he doesn't want to be too forward since they are being dis

*** *** ***I raised both hands to him, to show I came in peace..He eyes me but eased from the defensive mode. "Can we talk?" I asks casually.He sits back on the rock, staring at the ocean.I sat with him, enjoying the sound of the beach and the waves it makes. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" He asks."Yeah...." I agreed with him. Both of us went silent again, neither saying anything. I didn't want to scare him away so I waited for him to initiate the conversation."Why are you here?" He asks. "You should know." I tell him. "What could your poor self know about me that I don't know?" He asks."You took Javier's body, didn't you?" He chuckled, without missing a beat or showing any form of trepidation, he glances at me, "how did you know about that?" "You did, didn't you?" I said, it came out more like a concluded statement. "I always knew there's more to you than meets to the eye. Even Javier wouldn't say anything about you or who you really are?" Gregory muttered."Alina t

~ Alina's POV ~ ~I had gotten home late and tired. God, what was happening? Days now and nothing, not a single clue! It was like this had been planned so well that not a track was left to follow. I went to the kitchen expecting that Ryan had prepared my favorite but nothing was there too. "My lazy husband" I bemoaned. What was I expecting anyways?"Ryan?" I called out and no reply. Was he asleep already? But, he wasn't the type to go to sleep early. Perhaps, he was exhausted. I had gone to the room and doesn't find him there, didn't he ask earlier if he could move in? My silence should have told him that it meant yes. How could he not understand that? I dragged my legs to the guest room and contemplated if to knock or just barge in. "Ryan, you can come back to the room now" I yelled loudly so he could hear me "Did you get that?" I added and there was silence. I was too tired for all of this. What kind of sleep was he possibly having? "Ryan?" I called out again and when he

Eleanor's POV"Yes?" I said over the phone "Who is this?" I asked "It's Alina, Ryan's wife" "Oh, Alina, hi" "Hi" She replied, she was quiet"Is there a problem?" I asked "Yes and we need your help" "What is it?" "Ryan was arrested. I am guessing you have not seen the news yet" she explained "No, what did I miss?""Ryan is being arrested for murder" "Murder? Why? Or how rather?" I inquired "I do not know the details yet" she answered "What is the good saying?" "They wouldn't let me see him" she lamented "Why not?" "Cos he is a suspected murderer?" "That's bullshit. Look, do not worry. Just sit there give me a few minutes and I will be there as soon as I can" "Thank you" "Do not thank me yet, send me your location" I said "Will do" ****"Grandpa, that son of yours needs your help," I said to grandpa "Why? What did he do this time? I thought he didn't need my help?" "Come on grandpa, don't be kike him. He does need our help now" I begged "Let me hear it" he finally
