Emerald's POV
I'm here waiting inside my husband's office, because they're having an urgent meeting. It's been days since Hadley and Blaire flew back to the Philippines. Hans came back to England to fix something and after that, he will go to the Philippines and live with Hadley.
After the meeting, Vincent came inside his office and brought me something to eat. We ate the meal he gave me.
"Do you want to eat more? I'll buy some." Vincent said
I don't know what's happening to me, but my tummy won't allow me to eat just one fried chicken. I want to eat three or more.
"Yes, I want to eat more." I said as Vincent stood up and left to buy more fried chickens.
After awhile, someone knocked the door and his secretary came inside the office with a box of fried chickens. He handed me the box and then he bowed down.
"Where is Vincent?" I asked
"He told me to give this to you, your majesty. And he said that I should drive you home. He has an important business trip in Venice, Italy." Secretary Kyle said
After eating fried chickens, Secretary Kyle drove me home. Even though I'm the queen of Belgium, I prefer not to stay in the palace, because I think that the culprit is also living in the palace. It could be one of my family or one of my maids. No one knows.
My mom and my stepfather are working on it. They're trying to find out who the real culprit is, that's why they also want me to stay away from the palace at the moment.
My phone rang and I answered it.
"Vincent?" I asked
"Hi, love. Sorry I left you behind. It is just an urgent business trip." He explained
"It's okay. Just take a nap while travelling." I said
"Make sure to lock the doors." He said
"I will." I said
"I love you." he said
"I love you too." I said and then I ended the call. I jumped towards my bed as I fell asleep.
Dutchess Chloe's POV
I'm in Thalia's room, looking for some records about the hit and run incident when Dalia and Emerald became victims. I'm sure she's having piano lessons, so she won't be able to come here. Even though Thalia looks so innocent, I know she's hiding sonething from us. I know she's also responsible of Vincent Lyle's death.
"Mom, what are you doing?" I heard Dalia, she's behind me. I turned around to look at her
"Dalia, do you know that your sister is behind all this?" I asked
"What do you mean, mom?" Dalia asked
I pulled out my phone from my pocket and played the recording.
"How dare you let him hit Dalia! If anything happens to my sister, both of you should pay for it! I told you to hit Emerald!"
Dalia gasped causing her jaw to drop open "I can't believe it." she said
"It's your sister's doings, Dalia. Yet she looks so innocent all this time. I know she's also responsible of Vincent Lyle's death." I whispered
"Why would she do that?" Dalia asked
"Because Vincent Lyle broke your heart. She only messes with people who stands on your way. Do you know why she wants Emerald to be hit by a truck? It's because she wants you to be the queen of Belgium." I said
Emerald's POV
Time check, it's already 9:30am and I'm still here laying on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I'm waiting for Vincent's call, but I received no calls from him, not even once. So I stood up and I opened the curtains. Then I walked towards the door and opened it. I went downstairs to prepare for breakfast.
I pulled out the frying pan from the cabinet as I put it on the stove, trying make it hot as I put a little vegetable oil in it. When it's completely heated, I put the uncooked bacon into the frying pan.
After eating, I went upstairs to take a shower. I went out looking all fresh. I started picking my clothes right after I dried my hair.
I put on my clothes as I watched my phone rang. It's an unknown number.
"Hello?" I answered
"Your majesty, this is secretary Kyle. I have something important to tell you." he said
"What is it?" I asked
"Vincent Luke Alby is missing. The jet crashed somewhere in a forest in Italy. Someone told me that everything was a set up. There's no business trip in Venice. He was tricked." Kyle said as my tears started to run down into my cheeks
