The Last Laugh

***

Ace's POV:

I sat in my office the next day. An eye on work and an eye on Christina's office. I could see everything she was doing. She looked down. Broken. I couldn't help but smile. The money I'd given her was already wasted.

Around afternoon, she picked her phone and called someone.

"Hello?? Rob?? I need you to be here in an hour. Yes– yes– Rob, everything is falling apart. Yes– okay. See you in an hour," she hung up and began to sob on her table.

My eyes widened. Christina could cry?

This was the best thing I could watch.

While I watched her, not long after, that same man I'd recognised from my flashback, stormed into her office. She looked up at him.

"Christina, I'm tired!" he said angrily hitting the table. She frowned at him.

"Elijah, what's wrong with you? You can't just enter my office like that!"

"Where is my pay?!"

"Elijah, don't try me. I've given you more than enough money!"

The man which I now knew was called Elijah, frowned at her.

"Let me be honest with you Christina, money was the only thing keeping me silent. My conscience has been judging me! If you don't give me my pay by tomorrow, I'll go straight to the police and confess everything!"

Christina's eyes widened and so did mine. I listened carefully.

"You wouldn't dare!" she screamed.

"Yes, I will! I'll tell them how you paid me to kill Paul Wesley! And I'll show them where I buried his body!"

I felt a sharp pain in my chest. I felt my eyes water. I had to find my father's body.

"Elijah, don't do that. I'll get your money. I will."
