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
The first page only had the senior McPherson's name on it, designed craftly in bold ink. “ROBINSON MCPHERSON”.It might not hold what he expected, except the old man's day to day life's activities that would be recorded in it, according to the way he knew diary's go. It might just hold deep, naughty secrets about the owner himself and not any other person in particular unless it is connected with another person.He adjusted the pillow behind him do he could prop up his back to a better position and crossed his leg. Time to open the first page, as he did what he read hit him in the eye like a canon to the wall. Robinson McPherson was talking about his children. He only heard of his grandparents and his parents, but he had never heard of Fred and Aiden's parents or even a word has been said about Tyler's parents. And there was Josh too. He was a bastard grandson,but from which part of the family. He could only hope the diary holds more insight for him.Robinson and Elizabeth had three c
There could be some connections with the mail she received and the discovery of Fred's body in the oil well.Jake had to be careful now, even with Sarah or she might be caught up in the entire fiasco.“What time did you receive the mail?”. Jake asked her.“After we got the report from Vladmir, I spoke to him on the phone since he insisted on talking to me and begged me to look into the car specifically”.Something was not clear on this, the fact that a body was found, Fred's body that only he, Sarah, and the person who took the photograph was aware of, no one can link it to them, except if the person that took the picture was I no way connected to Fred and just stumbled on the incident. But that cannot be possible. He looked at her and could see worry in her eyes. “You have to pull yourself together Sarah, so you don't let anything slip, you've handled situations that are worse than this, so don't get jitters from this one”.“What about the mail I received?” She protested. That was ac
“I'm in a tight spot right now, but I'll let it go, not because of your grandfather, but I believe you were actually trying to defend yourself, you don't strike me as a violent man Jake, and bad for business too. but you do have some explaining to do, maybe dinner at my place whenever you have the chance?”. Vladimir asked him.Jake wasn't expecting it to go so well, he was thrilled at the way Vladimir consented to his request. “Sure, it would be a pleasure to have dinner at your place”. Best to stay on the old man's good side for now and not turn down his offer of breakfast so he does not revert back to his words. He thanked the man again and hung up the phone. His suspicions for Vladimir also vanished as he hung up the phone, maybe he wasn't part of it, but he'd need his friend to run a check on him and Elizabeth McPherson, if they had any history together. Only then would he be totally convinced.Sarah was mute all through, waiting for him to end the conversation and it ended up wit
Even his voice still had that deep time to it, he was shriveled and shrunken alright,but his spirit has not been dampened yet. Jake just stared at him in disbelief, what was once a powerful man even at an old age has reduced to this level because of his evil lifestyle, there was nothing left for him to live on for, this is where the rest of his life would be. If it doesn't end soon due to the hardships he was facing in the prison.“You haven't said why you are here young McPherson”. Hargreaves voice entered into his ear making him look at the old man directly in the eyes.Not waiting for any response the old man went on. “I am very well aware of the fact that I have not committed any crime while in this hole you put me in, you've taken all the resources I have available to do anything”.Jake relaxed in his chair giving the man the chance to speak his mind, he surely has not had any visitors since he got locked up, so here was an opportunity for his tongue to be let loose and wag as mu
