The Undercover Wife (On Hold)

Chapter 9

*Unedited*

"I should have known! Leo hired you to watch me didn't he?"

Leo lowered his gun his eyes still on Chris, "Never lay your hands on her again, understood?" He warned to which Chris simply nodded.

What the hell?

Leo left the room after receiving a call and Chris left right after I'm assuming to go and listen in. I turned to Cathy who had an evil smirk on her face. "If you knew about me and Leo why did you tell me to move on...why did you tell me to go on a date with Daniel?"

"I don't need to explain myself to you!" She spat.

Astonished I rubbed my temples, "So you lied to me the entire time pretending to care."

"You're such a hypocrite Elizabeth, you are the best actress between the two of us. I wanted you to be permanently out of Lee's life because you don't deserve him. You are just like your mother, a pathological liar who plays with anyone's emotions to get what they want!"

At this point I wished Chris had finished her off. I balled my hand into a fist and sent it flying to her face hitting her cheek bone. Cathy sent a punch to my gut which knocked the air out of me. She lowered herself and tripped me over with her leg sending me crashing on the floor. She then straddled me with her hands tightening around my neck.

"You know...I am glad you are here. You now have to fend for yourself and I can get some sleep without having to watch your weak ass all day." She said coldly.

My hands moved around until I felt an object, the statue. I slammed it against her head and she fell on the floor next to me groaning in pain. I stood up over her. "I didn't need you or anyone for that matter. Now get the fuck out before I finish you off!" I yelled.

Cathy struggled but she eventually left leaving behind drops of blood. I threw the bloody statue off the balcony.

After taking a shower and getting dressed I was relieved to find my room clean and no sign of blood. The maids have always been efficient.

I walked to Leo's bedroom in hopes of finding something. I heard the car leaving so I assume he left. Without anyone in sight, I entered the room and locked the door behind me. It was exactly the same from the time I left. I opened the walk-in closet, still the same except it was no longer a his and hers.

All my belongings had been removed and now it was just Leo's closet.

I went up to the mirror that hung off the wall. I lifted it up and put it aside revealing a safe. Hopefully the password was still the same. It used to be his mother's birthday, I only met the previous Mrs Lyon once...when she was on her death bed.

The small red light on the safe turned green before it opened. Leo was so predictable. There were a bunch of files, cash and a gun. I took the files out and began to sift through them.

Most of them were business contracts that were just for the shipping company. One file in particular caught my eye. There was a shipment that had come through last month but it wasn't included in the companies records. It was as if it wasnt there. I double checked only to come to the same conclusion.

The cargo was listed under the name Missouri Industies. None of this made sense. I looked at the address of the company to realise it was basically none existent. There was an abandoned mine there, I knew that because that's where my dad used to work before it was closed by the government due to corruption.

I didn't even own a phone so I couldn't take any pictures. I gathered up the papers I needed and put the rest back in place locking the safe. When I got back to my room I grabbed a knife that was in the fruit basket and lifted the blankets on the bed. I made an incision on the side of the mattress and hid the file inside. I fixed the blankets to cover it up.

As if on cue Chris pooped in. "I think Daniel found something, I have to go."

"Okay sure, I will stay behind and see what I can find. You go ahead." I smiled.

Chris gave a curt nod before leaving. I had to go through these documents and get to the bottom of things.

I wasn't going to go weak like I did three years ago. I was stronger now and I would find out who was doing this and why. I was living on borrowed time so I had to act fast.
