Chapter 7

"Where did you go?"He hissed while tightening his hold on my hand.

"This is not the time or the place to do it."I spat out.

"Let her go,Sebastian."Someone said from behind.

7 hours earlier

6:00 am

Liz's P.O.V

I just opened the refrigerator door to check whether there was anything that could be used.

There was nothing that could be used except for the eggs.

"What are you doing up at 6:00 am?"Sebastian's voice startled me from the living room.
He was still rubbing his eyes.

"Go back to sleep."I murmured looking into the cabinets.

Suddenly,the landline began to ring.
I ran to the living room.

"Just pick the damn thing up."Sebastian hissed,covering his ears.
I just rolled my eyes at his crankiness.
This is the most dangerous guy in America,everybody.

I picked up the phone.
"Is this Mrs.Gringotts?"Some man asked on the phone.Seemed old.

"I'm sorry.Who are you,sir?"I said suspiciously.
"I am the owner of Cassidy Coffins.Please call me Robert.And who would you be?I called for the choosing of the coffin for one..Mr.Matt Gringotts.The police gave me this number."

"Yeah.I'm his sister.I'll just connect you to her."I said as politely as I could.

"I'm sorry for your loss,ma,am.I'll just hold."He said.

"Yeah.Please hold."I said and ran up the stairs ignoring Sebastian's curious gaze.

I knocked on the door.
Then I heard nothing so I let myself in.
"Linda?"I whispered softly.
I walked towards her sleeping self.

I shook her till she woke.
"Linda?"I whispered softly.
She looked like she had been crying all night.I felt guilty waking her up like this.
I had no choice.
"The coffin guy is on the phone.He wants to know which one you want."I said softly.
She just nodded.

I punched in some numbers in the landline on her side-table and transferred the call.

"Hello,Robert?Here is Linda."I said and handed her the phone.

"Hello?"She said in her rapsy voice.
I left the room for her to talk comfortably.I made my way downstairs to the living room when I saw Sebastian on the phone talking to someone on the phone in a hushed tone.

"Is that Marco?"I asked hesitantly.

He just nodded.
"Tell him to get your tux and get here by 10.I need the car to go to the supermarket and the drycleaners."I said nonchalantly.

He looked at me suspiciously and raised an eyebrow.

"You won't let me go alone.And I wouldn't go walking with you and it's too far from here and I need to pick up my dress for the funeral.And the groceries for lunch."I said and smirked.

I just went into the kitchen.I heard someone walking down the stairs.

"I'm making the breakfast.How's eggs?"I said to Linda.
