Today was the only day, once in my life, have I been so free and nothing was getting in my way. We were both still in bed after some high time. Charlie was good. He made me feel powerless and I loved it (yes, self confession like Bridget Jones).

"I can't wait to be married.", he whispered in my ears.

"Me too.", I whispered in return.

Soon, we both got up from bed and had shower together since we were saving up water. Goodness, it felt awesome to have your loved one, being in such a warm water.

Collin: Argh, don't tell me about your exercise you did with him.

Brooke: How did you know?

Collin: Well... Em...

Brooke: For Christ sake, did you spy on me? You saw me fudging hard?

Collin: ...

Collin: Wait till Lucius took over the job

Brooke: Okay, I can imagined that. Back to business. Please.

Collin: While you were making "good progress", I managed to dig out on our fellow friend.

Brooke: You mean the guy who sent you the note through Mr. Owen?

Collin: Of course, who else?

Collin: Anyway, I was saying. It seems that our guy has a little connection with someone you already know.

Brooke: Really? Who?

Collin: I think I made a mistake, someone you already knew.

Collin: Your father..

Brooke: My father? He died years ago. How does this got to do with him?

Collin: Your father may have knew and met someone, leading to his sudden death.

Brooke: By murdering my family?

Collin: That's right. I will tell you more in details when we meet again.

Collin: Ta-ta for now :)

Brooke: What

Damn, Collin was smart. Did he knew I was watching? I made sure to be careful when I successfully hacked into Brooke's iPad. She was out visiting her friend in hospital, claiming he got a serious injury from a car accident.

While she was out, I bought some time by entering her room (stupidly enough the door was not locked). I knew Brooke was hiding something behind my back. She was keeping secrets from me. Why? That was when I found her conversation with Collin, my former partner. That fucking asshole, what did he do to her?

Now, the action comes in. I manually hacked into Brooke's iPad by using a malware designed for Apple products. I had my own connections, so it was easy for me to get the product and hacked her iPad. I knew it was wrong for me to do that, but I had no other choice.

Brooke's conversation with Collin tells me that she wasn't visiting a friend last night. Instead, she went to visit Lucius Owen after he got injured from the shot for intruding the house. How could Brooke hide the fact from me? Was she really trusting them?

Once I got every information I needed and her iPad was hacked, I immediately left the room and went back to my room. I dialed for the number since I had to report back.

"I successfully hacked into the iPad. She knew about Lucius. What do you want me to do?", I reported.

"Just sit back and wait."

"Roman Empire is about to fall."

"Roman Empire is about to fall"? Wow, I wonder who could that person be? Even I, myself, as an author of this story, I have no freaking idea. Still wondering why would Charlie do that?
