Chapter 191: Pleading Guilty
After Robert’s funeral, Ella took several days off. Early one morning, she prepared to visit Brianna. She had plenty of ways to ensure Brianna would confess to her crimes.
Just as she was about to leave, her phone buzzed with a few notifications from Facebook.
Ella glanced at her phone and saw that someone had sent her a message.
BlazeKnight: "I heard about what happened in your family. My condolences. Are you holding up okay?"
Ella blinked, remembering that Eric had once caught her chatting with this online friend and had brusquely told the guy to buzz off. She hadn’t expected BlazeKnight to reach out again, especially to express concern. It was somewhat surprising.
LunaFlame: "I’m fine, thank you for checking in!"
BlazeKnight: "I’ve sent you a few DMs on Twitter but didn’t hear back, so I thought I’d try you here. Take care of yourself. I’m sure we’ll meet someday, hugs!"
Ella nearly laughed out loud. This big guy was speaking like a cute teenage girl, which she found a bit hard to handle. Still, it was nice to have someone show concern, so she didn’t reply further. She gathered her things and headed to the detention center where Brianna was being held.
Meanwhile, in a certain villa, a handsome young man stared at his iPad screen, waiting for a reply that didn’t come. His expression turned cold, and with a harsh grunt, he hurled the iPad to the floor.
His eyes gleamed with a complex mix of emotions as he reached for a box of cigars on the bedside table. He lit one, exhaling slowly. The smoke swirled around his stunning features, enhancing his ethereal beauty. But the cold, ominous glint in his eyes cast a chilling aura over his entire being.
Thirty minutes later.
