Chapter 134: _ Gone With The Darkness
"L— locate them?" Cora stuttered, her eyes dancing in her eyes.
Rhett smirked to himself. Ninety-five percent.
He didn’t know whatever Cora could be hiding but if she was involved in this missing person’s case and knew more than she was letting on, then it’d be so sad that the fey– supposedly creatures of light were indeed capable of such darkness.
Not to mention how easily she had fooled him before with her false story. Hold up. Now, Rhett had no idea if that story of hers was false.
Before Rhett could analyze her reaction further, "Yes, locate them." Farkas barked at her with suspicion filling his voice.
Cora jumped, clearly caught in a corner where she knew not where to turn to next. Her gaze darted between the photo and Rhett’s watchful eyes.
Finally, she nodded slowly. "Yes, Lady Aceco. I’ll see what I can find." She moved towards a small bedroom at the back of the apartment.
As if being controlled by an invisible force, Cora turned back immediately. While Rhett wondered if she was about to run away, she bit her lip, her gaze darting around the room before landing on a small bookshelf tucked away in the corner. She moved towards it slowly.
Rhett watched her closely, his suspicion still simmering inside of him. What was she hiding? What could Cora possibly be hiding regarding this family’s case?
He was sure Farkas had seen it too and they were just both standing there, reading her and trying to figure it out. It stunned Rhett that Aceco didn’t notice this.
Cora knelt on the floor and reached behind a stack of well-loved books. Pulling out a small wooden box, she turned and held it out to Aceco.
