Did you forget what we shared together?” She asked, with tears dropping out of her eyes.Vincent couldn’t believe his ears. He glared at her intently after which he scoffed and shook his head in disdain.“Aldehard is around and you have the guts to come into my room?” Vincent roared angrily, frightening Celestine who shivered in fear.Her legs were shaking and her body felt as though it was going to give her to the ground at any minute. However, she stayed still as she was bent on getting to the very root of Vincent’s heart.“Please…you can still make things right.

All through the moment Aldehard realized that Celestine was pregnant, his core prayers were that she would have a healthy child. And now, they had a healthy child but their happiness was short lived by the utterance made by Celestine.“What?” Aldehard asked again as he threw an unbelievable gaze across to Celestine who didn’t seem to be concerned or worried over what she had just said.Vincent was not left out in the surprise.

Chapter 45Eliana didn’t want to believe her eyes, but everything was really happening before her. Laurel was entering into what was supposed to be a secret room, known only to her and Eden.Her heart skipped a beat as she took a step closer and peeked into the room.She caught sight of Laurel who was looking around and smiling widely. The room was very small, but smelt like secret since it had a lot of drawers and wardrobes around.Laurel was fully convinced that the key to the treaure was laying somewhere around. All she wanted to do was lay her hands on it after which she would go in search for the treaure.She was in the middle of her search for the key when she heard someone clearing her throat. She jerked up to her feet and turned towards the door, almost flinching in fright the moment she caught sight of Eliana who was staring at her intently.Elian was trying so hard to keep her stance, even if her legs were beginning to fail her. It was hard to believe that Laurel was current

Elaina laid on the bed, with Eden who was snoring lightly beside her. She glared at him silently as she wondered how he was going to feel when she finally tells him that Laurel might be a very big suspect.She needed no one to tell her that he wasn’t going to believe it since he was among the people who believed that Laurel was among the best family on earth.Eliana sighed again as she trailed off in thoughts and started thinking about every single thing that had happened along the way right when she went on her quest to find the killers of Osvaldo.Each clue pointed at Laurel and in addition to that, her behavior was beginning to become something different and this surprised Elaina greatly.This was a burden she prepared herself to carry and at the moment, she wasn’t willing to let Eden know about it; at least, until she was sure that it was the right thing.Her thoughts were distorted by the sound of a loud scream coming from outside. She tapped Eden and together, they barged out of

Eliana quickly went over to Eden the moment the men walked into the room where they were certain the treasure was hidden.“It’s not there”, she whispered into Eden’s ears, causing him to open his eyes in surprise.He had thought that the key was still in that particular room, since that was where he had hidden it. However, hearing that Eliana had taken it elsewhere made his heart get relieved.“Did you know that they would be coming?” He asked Eliana who shook her head negatively.It was still strange and since she wasn’t so sure of her facts, she decided to keep mute. There was no way she could tell him that she took it away from the room because she has seen Laurel in the room. It would only make her look so stupid and crazy…“I just felt the need to take it away from there. I’m glad my feelings helped out in saving it”, she lied with a small smile in her face.One of the men quickly swirled around and looked at them, catching a glimpse of a smile on Elaina face. He walked up to the

Goosebumps filled Eliana’s skin the moment she picked up the letter and took a glance at what it contained. From the outer part of the letter, she was certain that the content wasn’t going to be anything nice. This was because of the drop of blood that was right on top of the letter.Elaina was frightened to the core as she opened the letter with a shaky hands, hoping that whatever it was wouldn’t be a threat to her life.“Our eyes are on you!” Those were the words written on the letter. It was short, but enough to send cold shivers running down her spine.Fresh beads of sweats broke out on her forehead just as she dropped the letter to the ground.Someone was following her and the person was clearly after the treasure. Elaina was blank on how to react at the moment, but in the next minutes, she broke into tears that transited to loud sobs.She was scared to her bones and the worst was that she was alone, without the company of anyone around. This was unbelievable. She had been so dis
