Chapter 272: Did he get it?
Keith got to you before I could on the day you were attacked. I tried to go the hospital and get you out but Keith wouldn’t allow it. I apologize for not being able to take you back and protect you better.
My head shook as I read the letter. It’s not your fault Louis Keith took advantage of getting to me first. I can only imagine the confrontation the two had whilst I was unconscious. Considering the fight Keith and Louis had in the boxing gym where Keith kept on going when Louis was already down I can imagine it wasn’t any good.
’I’m hoping you’re okay Jasmine. I have a few men watching over you from a distance so I can confirm you’re fine.’
He’s watching me! I realised in surprise. I recalled the numerous men we had to watch Diana’s movements. I found myself feeling a little closer.
’I’ve seen you move with him several times.’ My lips pressed together in discomfort I know how it probably looked to Louis. The guilt of my plan to get Keith to soften came to mind again. If felt uncomfortable for me I can only imagine how he felt seeing me with Keith. I hated that I had to do it but I had no choice.
I know Keith is probably keeping you from talking to me. So I thought to find a way to communicate with you and ended up talking to you through your friend, Megan’s account. I reached out to her and gave her a brief explanation of the situation that this was the only way I could talk to you. She agreed of course. She’s helping me by talking to you about things the two of know and then adding in my subtle messages.
Thank you, Megan; I said to myself. I owe you big time for this.
When you’re done reading this let me know you received the letter by putting a emoji of smiling face in our messages. A simple signal that I hope wont look suspicious.
If you need help to escape immediately put an emoji of bird in our chat afterwards.
I closed the letter as I continued to
Thank god Louis felt the cemetery was a good way to communicate with me.
I returned to my messages with Megan. We were currently talking about her preparations of her finals.
’Mike is freaking out about finals. He’s studying last minute that’s why.
“Hahaha I hope you two are able to get through it.’
I then put the emoji that Louis had requested.
I hope in a similar fashion Louis would obtain the letter I left for him in the new book. In a similar manner to how he had told me to put an emoji to show I got the letter in the new flower bouquet, I left a similar response for him.
I then ripped the paper into multiple pieces and slipped it in a pocket in my joggers. Will have to burn in a fireplace in the sitting room nearby. I didn’t have a fireplace; my room was heated by simple food heating.
My attention then turned to the documents on Edward on the table.
With only one week remaining until Edward’s deadline I was nervous about how the whole thing would end. Whilst working with Keith has proven to be beneficial up until now. We found out about Edward and his entire plan and scheme to take over the Acland group.
With the final days of the ransom approaching what choice will Keith make? I kept asking myself this over and over. It was me reminding myself of the fact that I won’t be able to rely on Keith until the end.
I have to decide and advance forward on my own.
I know we’re close. So close to finding Anthony. But at the same time it feels like something is missing. I looked at the documents I had with me and spread our information on the table on my seating area.
I still cant understand how he planned so much about taking over and stealing from the Acland Group BEFORE he even started working for them. It made absolutely no sense. How was he able to find out so much intimate information about the Acland family. When I asked Keith about it he was equally baffled but the evidence pointed to Edward clearly.
He paid for Diana’s home in Kensington dealt with her for at least 7 years.
I was currently piecing every aspect of Edward’s life to see if I could spot anything that stood out.
10 years ago Edward when he was 26 he was working at an accounting/consulting firm. 2 years later when he got employed at the Acland Group.
I would have to ask Keith about Edwards phone use, How does Marco play into all this though? My pen circled Marco. In my notes in my notebook.
Once I was done brainstorming I left my room and went to the sitting room. Typically outside my room were atleast 7 bodyguards spread across the hallway. Especially after I tried to runaway. But now there were only 3
Upon arriving in the sitting room I found the fireplace in the corner I went inside. With Keiths bodyguards near by I had to be careful of how I put the papers in the fire. So let me relax for a moment before acting.
I checked my phone and there was still no response from Louis. I could only anxiously wait as I hoped he had received my letter and understood my message.
I glanced around and saw he facing elsewhere immediately I took the paper out and tossed inside.
Later in the evening Keith and I had dinner together as usual and had a discussion about what we planned in future
Keith finished eating first but he waited for me as we continued talking.
“I’m still trying to understand whether Marco is Edward’s son or not. I know we’ve considered the fact he might have been adopted.
