Chapter 96
Chapter 96Camilla stood beside the empty hospital bed, unable to move."No..." She looked around the room again as if her father might suddenly appear."Where is my father?" Dominic walked toward the bed and examined the room."Camilla, stay calm.""How can I stay calm? They took my father!"Her voice broke as tears rolled down her cheeks."I knew something like this would happen. I shouldn't have left him.""This isn't your fault.""Then whose fault is it?"Dominic didn't answer Jeff rushed into the room."Sir, the security team is checking every exit.""Check the cameras.""They're down.""All of them?""Yes."Dominic's expression hardened."Someone planned this." Camilla wiped her tears."The message." Dominic looked at her."What message?""The one telling me to go to the old house before midnight."She held up her phone."They wanted us to leave the hospital."Dominic nodded."Exactly." Camilla looked at the clock on the wall."How much time do we have?""Twenty minutes." She st
Chapter 95
Chapter 95The drive to the hospital felt longer than usual.Camilla sat beside her father, holding his hand tightly while Dominic drove.She kept looking at the bloodstain on her father's shirt."Dad, are you sure you're okay?""I'm okay, Camilla.""You've said that since we left the house, but you're bleeding."Her father gave her a weak smile."I've survived worse." Camilla frowned."Worse than being shot?"He didn't answer she looked at Dominic."Drive faster, please.""I'm already driving as fast as I can."Camilla looked down at the small silver key in her hand."Dad.""Hmm?""You said this key is the reason they have been looking for us.""Yes.""What does it open?" Her father remained quiet."Dad.""It's not safe to talk about it here.""Why?""Because we don't know who we can trust."Camilla sighed."After everything that has happened, I don't even know who I can trust anymore."Dominic glanced at her through the mirror."You can trust me."Camilla looked at him she wanted to
Chapter 94
Chapter 94Camilla couldn't breathe."Mom?" Her mother looked at her with tears in her eyes."Camilla, don't come any closer." Camilla stared at Mrs. Bridget."Mother?" Mrs. Bridget slowly smiled."Surprised to see me?" Camilla shook her head in disbelief."How did you get here?" Mrs. Bridget walked down the stairs calmly."I was invited.""By Mr. Knight?" Mrs. Bridget glanced at him."Let's just say we have the same interest."Camilla looked at her mother."You knew she was here?" Her mother nodded weakly."She was the one who brought me here."Camilla's eyes widened."You?" Mrs. Bridget shrugged."I needed to get your attention.""My attention?""Yes. You have been asking too many questions." Camilla's face hardened."You knew everything.""I knew enough.""You knew my father was alive." Mrs. Bridget didn't answer."You knew my mother was alive." Still no answer."You knew about Blackcrest." Mrs. Bridget smiled."And you still trusted me." Camilla felt her heart break."Why?""Becau
Chapter 93
Chapter 93Camilla stared at her father, waiting for him to explain."Who is he?" she asked.Her father looked around the room. The police were still taking Sebastian, Raymond and the others away, but he seemed more worried than relieved."Not here.""Dad, I'm tired of hearing that.""I know.""You keep telling me that there are things I don't understand. Then tell me now."Her father took a deep breath."The person who called Dominic is the reason I disappeared."Camilla's eyes widened."I thought you said you didn't know who was behind everything.""I knew him. I just didn't know where he was.""Who is he?" Her father hesitated.Then he said, "Mr. Knight."Dominic's expression changed immediately."Mr. Knight?" Camilla looked at him."You know him?""Yes.""Who is he?" Dominic's jaw tightened."He was one of the most powerful businessmen in the country before he disappeared." Her father nodded."He wasn't just a businessman. He was the man who controlled Blackcrest from the beginnin
Chapter 92
Chapter 92The journey back to the Blackcrest headquarters was tense. Nobody spoke much. Camilla sat beside her father, holding the old photograph tightly while Dominic drove. She kept looking at him."Dominic.""Yes?""Are you sure we're doing the right thing?"He glanced at her through the mirror."No." Camilla frowned."But you're still going.""Because waiting won't make this safer."Her father nodded from the back seat."He's right." Camilla looked at him."Dad, when all of this is over, you're going to tell me everything."Her father gave her a tired smile."I will.""No more secrets.""No more secrets."They arrived at the Blackcrest headquarters shortly after midnight.The building looked completely deserted.Dominic parked outside but didn't turn off the engine."Something is wrong." Camilla looked at the building."It looks empty.""That's what worries me." Jeff's vehicle stopped behind them.He and two men got out and checked the surroundings."Nobody outside," Jeff reporte
Chapter 91
Chapter 91Camilla's heart stopped when she heard Sebastian's voice coming from the hallway. Dominic immediately moved in front of her and her father, keeping his eyes fixed on the hidden door."How did you find us?" Dominic asked.Sebastian laughed softly."You really thought throwing away the necklace would make you disappear?"Camilla looked at her father."The tracker." Her father nodded slowly."There's more than one way to track someone."Dominic tightened his grip."Come out."Sebastian stepped into the room with two men behind him.Camilla stared at him with anger."You followed us.""Of course I did.""Why?"Sebastian looked at her father."Because your father has something I need."Her father stepped forward."You've already taken enough from my family."Sebastian smiled."I haven't taken anything from you. Your family handed everything over willingly."Camilla's expression hardened."Stop blaming my family. You were the one working with Blackcrest."Sebastian laughed."You
