Chapter 151
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
“Is everything settled? Did the guards really catch Olivia?”
“Yes, Luna. They cornered her inside one of her penthouses in the city. We caught her packing her clothes with papers, her passport, and a ticket to Norway. Good thing we arrived in time before she left the building.”
“Thank you. Good job, then.” I smiled at the officer who brought me the news. I was in my office, watching Devon and Diana play with their toys and watch shows on their gadgets. Dominic made sure I would go back to my duties after he proved to the elders and the council that I was innocent—that there was no way I could murder a person who was closest to me and treated as my mother for years.
“How about her father? Is there any news about him? Have they found him yet?”
I hated the idea that Richard Bennette, who was already in the hands of the Silver Crescent guards, still got out of the dungeons after one of his loyal minions got him out of his cell and fled in the middle of the night. Olivia must have heard that their Alpha had finally revealed their true identity and tried to flee from the pack, but failed. I made sure she won’t be able to get out of this place while I breathe.
“Her father will try to rescue her, so make sure to triple your security all over the place.” I reminded the guard. “Make sure you patrol the whole area twenty-four seven. All gates closed. No one enters, and no one gets outside the borders. Just like what the Alpha, my husband, orders.”
“Yes, your Grace. I will make sure everything is implemented as you ordered,” he replied and then nodded gently. I replied with a nod and a smile as I dismissed him and turned my attention to my kids and the paperwork on my table again.
But I couldn’t bear to concentrate. My eyes kept drifting toward the children, while the letters of the words I had been reading seemed to jump and jumble together. I leaned back in my chair and massaged the space between my eyes, feeling so frustrated and angry that Richard was still out there, posing a threat to my family. I felt as if I was sitting on the edge of a precipice, and with one wrong move, I would fall straight to my death.
Something was not right, and I needed to ensure that Olivia would go directly to the dungeon after all the torture she inflicted on me.
