shocked by his reaction over the phone. “Miss Elle Blackwood found out the truth about her father’s death. She’s
The phone went silent for a moment and the nurse could only hear Cain’s loud breathing over the line. His fingers clenched into tight Fats til his knuckles turned white
“Damn it” He threw his phone across the office, watching as it crashed against the wall and fell into broken pieces on the floor Aliya jumped up from the couch in the office
She stared at the dark expression on Cain’s face and then at his shattered phone
“What happened“:
He ran a hand trough his hair, grunting with frustration. “She found the pills, Aliya Somehow, she found it and now she knows about everything
Her face was drained of colour, and her heart dropped. “That’s impossible, everything was hidden well. She was never supposed to
“She’s gone, Aliya. Do you understand what I’m saying? She disappeared from the hospital: Cain spat, pacing the office. “We can’t predict her next move right now and if she tells the wrong person, we would be arrested and put in jail“}

“We’re screwed” Aliya finished with a whisper.!!
Cain turned to her. “We need to find her Now!” He shouted “We are still mamed, she’s still my wife and I can’t let her leave”
ELLE’S POV
I was lost and had no idea where I was going. I sat by the bus stop as the buses rushed past me I had no money, no phone, and no plan on what to do next
But for the first time in a while, I felt free, like I could breathe
I dragged my jacket closer, my skin was filled with goosebumps, the weather was chilly and the clouds were dark, like it was going to
rain very soon
I wish I left with better clothes other than the Chanel dress and jacket I was wearing when I left for the hospital
But I was still thinking of James:
Cain had lied and made the whole story up. James never abandoned me. He had been set up by them. And if Cain had gone so far as to stop our wedding from happening that day, then there was a reason.”
I need to find James.
I started walking I needed to find a man named Zane, James best friend and best man. He would know where I could find him.
But before I could take another step, a dark car pulled up beside me ?
The window slowly rolled down, and my eyes landed on Aliya
“What are you doing, Elle?” she smirked. “You should know better than to try to escape.”%
I turned around, ready to run away from the car, but a strong arm grabbed me around my waist and dragged me backwards
I screamed as loud as I could but the street was dark and empty. I was shoved into the car in a moment and the doors were locked immediately
Once I was inside the car, Aliya leaned in with a mocking smile. “You should have just stayed as Cain’s obedient little wife, instead of trying to find the truth” she whispered. “But you’ve gone too far now”
My heart was pounding as I struggled against the ropes they used to hold me.t
Aliya sat beside her, crossing her legs and inspecting her nails like this was just a normal day for her.X
“You must be so disappointed. You really thought you were going to escape us, didn’t you?”
My mind was racing for an escape plan to get out of here. I could throw myself at the door, but I was pressed between Aliya and a huge goon driver who could catch me and hold me back in a second.
I turned and glared at Aliya. “Why did you and Cain do this? Was it just about the money?”
Aliya smirked. “Oh, sweetheart. Money is just a small part of it.”
My insides twisted. “You mean my father’s company? The one he built from nothing? The one I was supposed to run?”
Aliya tilted her head. You were always so naïve. Your father was never going to let Cain take over, not even when you married him. But you handed everything to Cain on a silver platter when you signed that document.”
My eyes burned with anger. “And you killed my father, you switched the pills and slowly killed him “X
Aliya chuckled “He was an old frail man, he was going to die either way.”
My body froze. I knew Cain had switched my father’s medication, but hearing Aliya say it made me sick.
“How dare you?” I screamed!
Anger rushed through me. I tried to stay calm, but Aliya’s deadly s
smile was like a knife in my gut.
I turned to the driver, a bald man with a scar on his face. He was focused on the road, but in a flash, I jumped forward and grabbed the steering wheel from his hands
「
I pulled hard and the car swerved off the road!
“What the hell?” the driver shouted, trying to drag the wheel out of my grip.
I threw myself at Aliya, fighting for the door handle to get out of here
She screamed, but I slammed my knee into her stomach and grabbed her
The car started spinning wildly on the road, going around in circles. I screamed and then it crashed and everything suddenly went
dark.
