The Billionaire's Assistant

Chapter 80- Innocent?

I didn't know what to call it, maybe sisterly instincts but I just knew Debbie wasn't the villain this time, I could feel it, it didn't matter that all the evidence was pointing to her, she was innocent, I could just feel it.

The video Luca showed me was someone who had the same body structure as my sister but wasn't my sister. There was something fishy and I wouldn't let my sister go to prison for something she didn't do.

Luca looked pissed sitting beside me. He wouldn't understand what was happening with me, he had his Dad, he had his sister and maybe other family members I didn't know of but I only had Debbie and Jordan and it's not because of this fact that I think Debbie is innocent, it's just that I know it.

“ We're here," Luca said as the driver stopped in front of the hotel.

Luca walked out of the car and turned over to my door and opened it then the driver brought out my wheelchair and Luca carried me and sat me on the chair.

We entered the hotel and he pushed the wheelchair to the elevator and we both got in as he pressed the floor number. The elevator was quiet as none of us said anything until I decided to break the silence.

“ Do you trust me?" I asked,

“ I do, but right now I don't trust your judgment," He said.

" If you trust me you're going to help me find out who is doing this to point all fingers at my sister, you have the power and resources, and you have the legs,” I said and he chuckled before looking down at me with a sigh.

“ I don't have a good feeling about this but if you think your sister is innocent I'm going to look into it but if I find more evidence pointing to her believe me I'm not going to do this with you anymore," he said.

" Yes, but I know in my heart that you wouldn't find anything, my sister isn't the villain in the picture,” I said.

The elevator reached the floor and Luca pushed the wheelchair until we got to Debbie's room.

I couldn't help but feel nervous, if she saw me with Luca she'd know I lied to her and she'd think I was the one who told the police that she might be a suspect.

Luca rang the doorbell and an officer came to open the door.

“ Mr. Vincenzo, you're here, Miss Westbrook," The officer said as he opened the door and we both entered.

My heart clenched when I saw Debbie sitting on the couch with her head in her hands. She looked devastated.

“ Debbie,” I whispered and her head immediately came up. She looked hurt, I knew she was going to think I sent the police to her.

She stood up as she slowly walked to me but the officers stopped her.

" Leave her alone please,” I said as I felt my eyes begin to burn with tears.

" You think I would want to hurt you? You think I would want to kill you?” She asked with hurt in her voice.

“ No, I know you wouldn't do anything to hurt me,” I said as I wiped the first set of tears that fell from my eyes.

" Then why are they here? They think I killed a nurse, I don't even know what's happening, they found this stuff in my room, I don't even know what it is, I'm confused, I don't know what's going on,” She said as tears began to fall from her eyes and it was hitting at my heart.

The officers and Luca just quietly watched our exchange.

“ I'm going to find a way to help you, Luca is going to help me, I know you didn't do it okay," I said and she nodded.

" But they're going to arrest me now, they think I'm a murderer,"

" Miss Westbrook, that's because all fingers are pointing to you right now, the nurse is dead and she confessed that you sent her to inject poison into your sister and then we found her dead with the same poison we found in your room, how's that a coincidence?” The officer asked.

" I don't know, I didn't do it,” She said.

" All fingers are pointing towards her, but not mine, my sister is innocent and I'm going to prove that, even if I do it on my own,”

" Miss Westbrook, we know you're emotional about what is happening right now but we think you're being too kind, how can you think someone who almost caused your death is innocent?”

" That's because I know she is,”

" But we're sorry to inform you that it doesn't work that way, as long as we have found evidence pointing to her we have to arrest her, until proven otherwise she would be behind bars, please take her away,” The officer said as a police officer came forward and Debbie stretched her hands out as he handcuffed her.

" I didn't do it, I swear,” She said as tears continually fell from her eyes and so were mine but I continued wiping them to be strong for both of us.

The officer's took her away and I could still hear her crying.

Without meaning to, I burst into sobs and Luca quickly bent to me as he hugged me.

“ Why is this happening to me? Why? What did I ever do wrong?” I said as I clutched onto Luca's shirt tightly.

" It's okay, stop crying, I hate it when you cry,” he said as he dropped a kiss on my head holding me closer.

“ Shh, stop crying please, let's go, you need to calm down okay,” He said and I nodded but the tears won't stop falling.

“ You have to stop crying, you believe your sister is innocent right?" He asked and I nodded.

“ Then you have to be strong for the both of you, crying wouldn't solve anything, it would only give you a headache and besides you're a terrible crier," He said and I couldn't help but chuckle.

“ That's more like it, I feel better when you're not crying, if you think she's innocent then we're going to find a way to bring her out, I promise,"

" Okay,”
