Chapter 196: The ride home (1)
Annalise didn’t know at the moment if it was good that Rafael was seen as a suspect since it meant there would be town guards entering his home to look for evidence.
There was nothing in her room that could connect her to the border, but she would rather not have the town and border guards snooping around the place she was staying.
"Don’t worry about it. I would know if Rafael had someone kidnapped or killed and he didn’t. If he did, he would have killed all three guards," Logan said to reassure Annalise that there was nothing to worry about. Her employer would not be imprisoned.
"Unless you come into his home and threaten someone he cares for, he will send you out of his home instead of killing you so he doesn’t have to deal with the palace sending him letters about his actions," Logan further explained.
Someone would have to get Rafael really angry for him to disregard how the palace would react and kill someone.
"I don’t think he killed or kidnapped anyone," Annalise replied.
"Good. This issue will be over with fast since no one can prove that Rafael did anything. He only spoke with them. You were there. I heard a little bit of what they spoke of and Rafael mentioned that two maids saw him kick out the guards. The third guard is saying that Rafael might have done it."
’I should have killed him too,’ Annalise thought. The only reason she didn’t search for him was that he was the only one not saying nasty things about women. If she had known that he would have lied right now by pointing fingers at Rafael when Rafael was just as calm as him that day, she would have killed him.
Annalise was ready to go back inside the tent with Beatrice, but as she turned, she saw Rafael coming toward her, and he did not look happy. She didn’t know if it was because she was outside or because of his discussion about the two dead men.
