Augustina was waiting outside the sheriff's office with Rindley while her husband talked to the officer.She was beyond nervous.'I knew this girl was going to be trouble after all!' she thought irritably. Rindley could see that his mother was worried, as her knees were shaking and Augustina had a bad habit when she was like that: she bit the skin around her fingernails. Something she would certainly reproach her children for, but she did it subconsciously when she was VERY nervous.He wondered why she was like this. The father had mentioned that there was a possibility that they had found Lucy's body, which Rindley knew was not true. Augustina never seemed to have much affection for Lucy, and Rindley found that strange. The girl was always good, sweet, kind, polite. Besides, wouldn't it be more normal for a mother to want to pamper her precious daughter?Simon left the room, pale and Augustina wanted to question him, however, the delegate called her and a policeman went beside her, t
Rindley was sitting across from the deputy, thoughtful. He already expected that, because he wasn't so stupid as to never have suspected."So, you really didn't know about that?"“No, Deputy Sanders. I really didn't know. During my whole life I thought about it, after all, let's say that our mother was not the most affectionate with Lucy and I asked myself why.” Rindley said sadly, but he smiled. “Lucy is not her daughter. And she knows it very well.”The deputy nodded in agreement. He expected this. And he was glad to know that at least one person in the family didn't look rotten. The biological child wasn't as bad as the parents.“What will happen, sir?” Rindley asked. “I never raised the question with Lucy. She suffered a lot from Mom's indifference, and I honestly didn't know if that could be a good thing or not for her to know at this point.”“I'll talk to her. It's my job.” He said. “I will look into the hospital matter.”“Child theft.” Rindley spoke. It wasn't a question."Exac
“Look who's coming down the stairs! Giving us the air of grace!” A man Gideon had no idea who he was speaking to. "It is an honor!"“Ignore him.” Don whispered and Gideon nodded slightly.“Are you going to talk to me, little princess?” The man insisted and rubbed his hand over his own genitals. “He came back stronger. I'm dying to have a taste of you!"Gideon stopped walking and turned, smirking."Are you, now?" He asked and it was possible to see the man's smile falter slightly, but he kept his posture. “Why don't you get down on all fours, then? But only if you promise to swallow everything!”The man's eyes flashed with confusion and then anger. Friedrich had turned the tables, and now the surrounding inmates were laughing at the troublemaker."Go fuck yourself, motherfucker!" he yelled and Gideon laughed, taking a step forward. Next to him, that man was slight.“If you disrespect me again, I will fuck you!”"Fag!" He screamed.Gideon laughed.“It was you who was asking for a cock h
Brandon was stunned by the news that Ellie was pregnant with his father’s baby - or rather, older brother’s. But he was very happy. He couldn't remember seeing his father this happy in a long time.Ellie looked beautiful and radiant. She and William made a beautiful couple.“We are so glad you are here, Bran!” She said, hugging him. "I thought…"“Calm down, Ellie, I'm fine.” He hugged her back.“And your brother… my goodness, he's alive!” She sat down next to William, who was thoughtful.“My two children…” He smiled. “I couldn't be a more accomplished man, could I? Three kids…” He touched Ellie's belly.“I hope Gideon is okay. The police are still sorting out the question about my death and about Lucy. Until then, we need to be quiet.”"I know. Have you had contact with her?” Ellie asked."No." Brandon shook his head from side to side. "They want to make sure we're not talking and making up lies together."Ellie and William nodded their heads.“I hope this gets resolved soon. There is
Gideon wasn't quite sure what exactly he was supposed to say to her. He didn't know her. What if she was with Krasner? He would be lost if he told her everything and she recorded it. She would screw not just him, but Lucy and Brandon.“How can I trust you?” he asked, squinting as he looked at her. “I tell you everything and you are there recording. What happens then?"Wanda raised an eyebrow quickly as she looked at him.“So, you admit that there is a truth that I am not privy to?”"I don't know." He shrugged and pouted at her. "Perhaps."Wanda got up as she glanced once more at the clock.“I cannot continue here. You're not going to talk, are you?" She looked directly into his eyes as she approached, and Gideon felt almost hypnotized. “If you decide to talk, just ask for me. I need to go. I will ask the guard to take you back to your cell.”Gideon caught her wrist as she passed. Wanda looked from his hand and up Gideon's arm, until she reached his eyes.“You are pretty as fuck.” He m
“Finally, my daughter is home!”, Matteo Grayson said, getting up from his office chair. “I thought you would never arrive!”Despite the kind tone, Wanda knew her father too well to know that there was nothing kind about those words. He was irritated with her.“I needed to take care of one of the interns, Dad.” She explained and hugged him. Matteo held her tight. Despite being a strict father, he loved her. She was his treasure."It's all right." He spoke, and Wanda sensed that he had changed. When it came to work, Matteo was very understanding. "I thought you had a boyfriend, which I don't know about."Matteo Grayson was an important man. The Grayson family was equal to the Ashfords and Matteo had thought long and hard about marrying the two families, but William Ashford wanted to give his son more freedom. Afterwards, Matteo found out that the boy had practically disbanded and he didn't like it at all. So he didn't insist anymore.He wanted a good marriage for his daughter. In his mi
Gideon raised an eyebrow and smirked at her. “Thinking about seducing me, Miss. Grayson?” He played, knowing well that is was a dangerous move. She was the director of that place. To his surprise, she remained with a serious expression, not even angry or annoyed. Than, a faint smile appeared on her lips. “Exactly.” She answered and he almost gagged on his own saliva. “What?” he asked, astonished. “Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining. I’m just… I don’t even know if surprise is the right word to describe it.”“I’ll explain: my father is asking me to marry a dim-witt man. Ridiculously rich, but an imbecile. One who thought he could just put his hands on me as he pleased!” Her eyes narrowed while she was looking to a point behind Gideon and he knew she was remembering something. “Who is that fucker?” he asked between gritted teeth. “Who tried to touch you without your consent?” She blinked, not expecting him to take her pains as his own. “Ah… someone I don’t want to even rememb
“How are things going so far?” Brandon asked his father and Chung-hee. “Gideon can’t stay there for much longer!” “The deputy said he will be out by the end of the week. Seems like someone else is helping.” William said, smiling. “Really? Great. I can't stand that he just came back and is in jail. In my place!” Brandon was angry with the whole situation. “I know, Brandon, but I think that it is best to have things well set than rush and in the near future, have more problems.” chung-hee told him and he could not deny the Master was right. “I know. It is just… frustrating! I can’t even visit him!” He said and sighed. “Also, I want to be with Lucy!” “Things will be set soon.” William tried to reassure his son. He wanted the boy to be happy, even though he was a bit worried about the ‘Lucy-Gideon-Brandon’ thing. They would be home now. Not in the juggle, where nobody cared or knew them. He was worried things would be complicated and even create animosity between the siblings. “I ho
