Chapter 59
After our long talk, I retired to my room to rest my head, I also wanted to give Drey some space so he could be alone, I got into bed and I began wondering who could have locked Drey's mother inside her room, " could the person be responsible for the fire?" " How did the person know she was going to be inside?" All of this questions ranged in my head. I took out my phone and dialled Shyla's number, I really needed someone to talk to
Shyla picked and we got talking, I told her about everything including how Drey's mother was locked in the room, she was shocked and then she said " I believe it was a conspiracy" " how do you mean?" I asked, " it was all planned" she said sounding so sure. " How sure are you, what if it was just an accident?" I asked . " come on, don't be so naive" Shyla sighed. " It was all done by someone that wanted her out of the picture". " Drey's stepmother?" I asked in a whisper. " Well, she had a good reason to, don't you think so?". Shyla asked.
After the call I couldn't help but think of what Shyla said, could it be that Hulia was the brain behind the fire? I paced up and down in my room as I remembered the way she had stopped her husband from rescuing Drey's mother, the way she sounded angry and a little frustrated that day. " But she looks so nice" I thought to myself, ever since I arrived at the mansion with Drey she had always been nice to me, I couldn't imagine her doing such a thing. I shook my head.
I decided not to think about it and just focus on I and Drey. This was supposed to be a business trip but it had turned into some kind of a vaccination, Drey had been going to visit the different organizations while I just sit at home and relax...I was beginning to get bored so I decided to follow him to work the next day. I decided to go downstairs to get a glass of milk not that I can't call the maids up to my room, but I just wanted to exercise my legs.
I quickly changed into one of my gowns. I've been putting on Drey's shirt since earlier today, I wore the gown and quickly got out of my room..I went downstairs and headed straight to the kitchen but I slowed down as I saw Drey's step mother in the kitchen, she seems to be adding some substance to a glass of juice, while a maid was peeping, immediately the maid saw me she was shocked and alerted Hulia who turned around with shock written all over her face.
" Good evening ma'am" I greeted with a smile plastered on my face, only for her to nod. I walked straight to the fridge and and quickly poured myself a glass of milk... I was about walking out when she asked. " hope things are going well with you and my son"? I turned around and beamed " yes ma'am" I replied shortly and took my leave.
I got to my room shut the door and took a deep breath... something fishy was going on, now I believe what Shyla said earlier on. Hulia had something to do with the fire that night. It was truly a conspiracy.
