Max tapped Cassandra's shoulder to take assist him back to the car. For the first time, Cassandra had nothing to say regarding this issue. She does not even have a clue on what they were arguing about, maybe Max would tell her later what it was about.Sarah would not give up, “what are you hiding Jake, what was it that you said to her. It is obvious something was shared between you, and you don't want to tell.Jake was at his end already, “Yes Sarah,yes. I don't want to tell you about it. If you can't be patient enough to wait till I'm ready to tell you, then don't. I'm not obligated to tell you anything either ways”. His voice matched hers and they stood close to each other. Their breaths hot and none ready to back out.“You owe me Jake McPherson, you so owe me more than you think. My family died because of all these and you want to keep me in the dark. I'm not buying that bullshit from you at all. What's in the bag I demand to know right now”. She fumed.Jake clutched it tightly mor
Charlotte's laughed, a deep throttled laugh. “ I will take that as a joke because you are the only one seeing it. Every other person sees you and Jake as the best couple.you both can't seem to be anywhere without giving the live vibe. I envy you Sarah. You've got a good man and you've also got the kind of job that makes people admire and respect you”.Sarah's hand just kept twirling the rim of her cup. Listening to Charlotte say all these things was having some kind of effect on her. “If you call putting your life and the life of your family members in danger a respectful job, then it's okay by me”.“But you must know my job is in no way respectful, people do admire the police alright. Because we look cool when we enter somewhere, the dress code and the swag that comes with it. What about when you don't get the job done?, Have you ever thought about it?. Most people blame the police for not doing anything or not intervening on time when things go south. The police has a lot of burden
Charlotte repeated what Sarah said last for like four times so it stays there. Now she had something to do with her life that has worth and meaning. Making the move to Sarah turned out to be better than she expected. She just needs good people in her life, Jake was among the good people in her life, but she was allowing the feelings she has for him cloud her sense of reasoning.She got up and high Sarah unexpectedly, making the remaining drink in Sarah's cup spill to the floor.“That means we are friends now”.Sarah smile and hugged her back, what can she say, if Charlotte Hargreaves cannot be turned down my any man , then she can't be turned down by any woman also. “Fine, we are friends now, I don't really have much friends except for Cassandra, Jake's sister. So you are welcome to the group”.“That would be lovely, I can see it already, the three of us having plenty of fun times together”. Charlotte giggled.“I wouldn't be this excited yet, calm down. You haven't met Cassandra to kn
The urge to open up the bag and dive into the into the contents of the diary increased rapidly, thanks to Thelma he was able to shield the diary away from prying eyes. Any glance at the word diary would have raised Sarah's anxiety more than it was already. It was right here in his hands, he opened the bag slowly like he was unwrapping a Christmas gift. Then put the bag at a corner close to the bed. At last the book was finally in his palm, it was a well designed diary and he has never seen anything like it before. Turning it over he found that it had a lock, he slapped his forehead in frustration, of what use was the diary if he can't get access to it?. He didn't notice the lock when the senior Mrs McPherson have him the diary else he would have asked for a key or how to open it.Taking the diary out of the room and somewhere to figure out how to open it might pose a great risk. His grandfather must have carefully made arrangements do that the diary would be properly secured even he w
Whatever made Charlotte do this, he was glad, he had Important things to focus on, like the diary.He stood up and went down to the kitchen, he didn't meet anybody on his way not even the servants. He made sure to lock the door to his room so no one could enter inside. Since there was no one around he can rosm freely and quietly as he wanted, not that any one would question his movement. He hadn't made any food by himself since he became chairman, lots of attendant and workers to do almost everything for him. Now he has the chance to whip up something since he was not feeling sleepy. No need for something big, so he just made tea and searched the cabinets where he found cookies.Placing them on a tray he went into the library and nibbled at the biscuits while the smell of the tea ran up his nose, he made it a little to hot and could not drink it immediately. He had not really spent much time in the library since he moved into the house. He sat down on the big chair and ate the biscuit
It was still night and the only sound that could be heard through the entire house was Jake's movement, although he was careful enough so he doesn't wake anybody. The library house different kind of books and several compartments where things can be kept in secret. Jake checked every corner of the library, behind Evey picture and every safe box to see if the little box in the picture was inside.He had spent many hours awake just searching for the box, so he went back to the chair and sat, how could the key to the diary be so hard to find?, The only place he had not checked was the compartment drawers.As his mind went to it, he just pulled the out and used his hand to search inside, just pieces of papers laid inside, in the third compartment he felt Benes the drawer. There was something odd about it do he pulled it out completely. He tapped at it and noticed that the bottom was light, he punched through it lightly and it made a little hole, there was still something inside, so he tor
Don't do this Cassie, it actually is personal and does not concern you”. Jake thought that saying that would make her drop the key for him.“If you aren't ready to tell what the key is for or even what it opens then I'll find out myself, I'm sure Max would know about it”.Jake shouted immediately. “No, not Max. You are not to tell anybody about the key Cassandra, not even Max, you must promise me”.Now she wants to know what was really going on, at first he lied that he was not looking for anything, when he was actually looking for a key and now he doesn't want to let Max in on it. Jake was actually keeping something from them and whatever it was he has to tell her and tell her now.“jake?”, She called him sternly. “What is going on and I'm not going to ask you a second time, if you don't tell me, then I have no option but to ask Max for some information”.Jake sighed wearily, there was no other way to go about it but to tell her about it, she would have persisted and woke the entire
Jake had to let Cassandra understand something. “Cassie, I'm not saying she's good, I can't forget what she did to you like it never happened or what Fred did to you and Max at the resort, like hell Max is still in pain, but there's something you need to know, she can't be completely wrong. In every lie there's always an atom of truth, all we have to do is search for the truth. We can't discard any information that comes our way it wouldn't be wise at all”.“I see where you are coming from and what you are trying to get at, all I'm saying is, she knows this thing about you. That you can't stand being betrayed, she's using it against you and trying to shift your focus somewhere else instead of her, I bet if it was that Fred McCarthy that came over to you with this kind of talk, you wouldn't even listen to him not to talk of accepting the diary”.Bringing up Fred in their discussion did not sit well with him at all, it sent some kind of wave through his body and it made him uncomfortabl
