Chapter 145
William's sister lay in the hospital bed, her body wrapped in layers of bandages, her mind struggling to make sense of what had happened, to understand where she was and how she had gotten there."Where am I?" she whispered again, her voice weak and trembling. "What is going on? I cannot move my body."And then she heard a voice.A familiar voice, filled with relief and emotion."Oh, my sweet little angel," the voice said, breaking slightly with tears. "You are awake. Thank goodness. Thank goodness you are awake. I was not actually expecting you to wake up this quickly. Thank goodness."William's sister managed to turn her head slightly, the movement painful and restricted by the bandages, and when she did, she saw her mother standing beside the bed.Her mother's face was streaked with tears, her eyes red and swollen from crying, her expression a mixture of relief and anguish.And behind her, standing quietly, was her father.He looked just as worried, just as broken, his face drawn a
Chapter 144
William's sister lay on the floor, her body broken and battered, blood seeping from the wounds that covered her back, her face, her arms.She could not move anymore.She was so weak, so utterly drained of strength, that even the act of breathing felt like a monumental effort.She could not lift her hands.She could not speak.She could only lie there, trembling, her vision blurred by tears and pain, her mind struggling to hold onto consciousness.Jefferson stood over her, the whip still in his hand, and he stared down at her with an expression that was cold, detached, as if what he had just done was nothing more than a routine task."If you want to pretend that you are dead," he said, his voice calm and almost conversational, "go ahead. Even if you are actually dead, I will just carry your body and dump it somewhere else, and that will be the end of you. But I know you are not going to die. Because this is just a message. This is just a message to your brother."He paused, letting the
Chapter 143
William's sister sat frozen in her chair for a moment, her mind struggling to process what was happening, to make sense of the sudden shift from a quiet afternoon of reading to something that felt dangerous and wrong.The locked door.The drawn blinds.The worker who had simply walked out without saying another word.And Jefferson standing there, smiling, watching her with an expression that made her stomach twist with fear."What the hell is going on?" she said, her voice rising slightly, carrying an edge of defiance even as uncertainty crept into her tone. "What are you trying to do? Why did you lock the door? Why did you send everyone away? What do you think you are doing?"Her voice was still confident on the surface, the voice of someone who refuses to show weakness even when they are afraid.But underneath, there was a tremor.A slight shake that betrayed the fear she was trying to suppress.She did not get a chance to say anything more.Jefferson moved suddenly, his hand shooti
Chapter 142
William's sister had been deep in her reading, her focus entirely on the pages in front of her, when the sharp knock on the desk jolted her back to awareness.She looked up, startled, and when she saw who was standing there, her expression shifted from surprise to guarded wariness.Jefferson.She recognized him immediately.The son of one of her brother's political rivals, someone she had seen before but had never had any reason to interact with directly.And now he was here, standing over her table, smiling in a way that made her deeply uncomfortable.She straightened in her chair, her posture stiffening, and her voice came out calm but firm."I do not understand what you are trying to do here," she said. "I have not had any trouble with you. I have been minding my own business. I have been on my own. So why are you here? Why are you bothering me?"She paused, her eyes narrowing slightly as a realization hit her."And from the look of things," she continued, "you have been following
Chapter 141
Jefferson stood up from his seat, the movement abrupt and decisive, as if he had been waiting for an excuse to leave and the vibrating phone had given him exactly that.His mother's voice cut through the air immediately, sharp and insistent."So where the hell are you going?" Veronica said, her tone laced with frustration and disbelief. "Do you not think this conversation is even more important than whatever you have planned to do? Do you not think we need to finish this discussion before you just walk out of here?"Jefferson paused for a moment, his hand still holding his phone, and he turned to look at his mother.His expression was calm, almost dismissive, the look of someone who has already made up their mind and is not interested in being challenged."Well," he said, his tone measured but carrying an edge of finality, "this is something important. I am sure that father has his reasons for not trying to push further than what happened. He has his reasons, and I am certainly not go
Chapter 140
Veronica was sitting across from her husband, her posture tense, her arms crossed, her eyes fixed on him with an intensity that made it clear she was not going to let this conversation end without getting answers.She had been watching him closely for the past several minutes, studying his face, his body language, the way he avoided making direct eye contact, the way his hands fidgeted slightly even though he was trying to appear calm.And the more she watched, the more certain she became that something was wrong.Something was being hidden from her."Why do I feel you are not telling me the truth?" she said finally, her voice sharp and cutting through the silence like a blade. "I have been asking you, over and over again, trying to understand why all of this is happening, trying to get a straight answer from you about what is going on. And every time I ask, you deflect. You change the subject. You give me vague reassurances that mean nothing. So why do I feel like you are not telling
