Mr Popular and The Assassin

Chapter 40

R I O N A

He's dead?

Thalia grabbed my arm and burst into tears while I didn't know what to feel. I wanted to also cry but I just couldn't.

We walked out of the doctors office and into the waiting room where Leonardo and my mother waited for us.

Leonardo looked up at me with hopeful eyes but I slightly shook my head and he released a depressed sigh.

Thalia stayed glued to me and couldn't control her sobs, I didn't know how I could comfort her because I was also in pain.

A while later, Leonardo came back with three cups of coffee in his hand and gave Thalia and I ours then one to my mother and then he held the last one in his hand.

"I'm really sorry." Leonardo told us both before Thalia hugged him.

As we sat down my phone buzzed and it was a call from boss, I excused myself and walked far away so they couldn't hear what I was saying.

"You let the victim escape, how dare you?!" He thundered from the other end of the phone.

"I had no idea that she-"

"No excuses Davis! I have information that you have been meeting up with the victim's son secretly for a while now. Is he more important to you than your siblings?" He questioned.

"He helped me a lot and I thought of talking to you about something tomorrow but I'll do it right now," I paused. "Did you lie to me all these years about my mom?" I continued.

"What difference would it make? Don't tell me you suddenly want a happy family?" He laughed at the other end.

"My father just died! I've hated my mom for years! You ruined my family!"

"I don't care about what you have to say, I've paid you for your services and if you failed me once I'm sure you can do it again. I have had mercy on your family once but not anymore so I suggest you keep an eye on your sisters." He threatened before hanging up the phone.

Where is Iris at right now though?

I controlled my facial expression before I walked back to everyone but my phone buzzed again but this time it was a text.

Keith. What does he want?

I opened the message and it was a photo of him which was captioned, "You should really teach your siblings not to trust anyone easily."

"Where did you leave the girls?" I yelled at Thalia who looked confused at first before processing what I said.

"They are at the neighbors." She answered.

I dialed iris's number and after ringing twice she answered and so I relaxed.

"How are you?" I asked her.

"I'm alright Rie but why do you sound worried?"

"Nothing just ignore me and put Cassidy on."

"Cassidy? She went out with Keith, didn't you ask Keith to bring her somewhere?"

"Why would I ever do that?! How could Cassidy just leave with him?!" I yelled at Iris who didn't talk for a bit.
