ISLA~
A few weeks ago, Chris contacted me. He offered to drop the case if I gave him twenty million, double what he was suing Elara for.
Everything would have gone pretty fine if he hadn't filed the lawsuit. But the moment he did, he forced my hand. His greed made him sloppy and the call only made it worse.
Either way, he was doomed and was either not aware of it yet or was too arrogant to care. He was definitely getting dragged down by the very secrets he thought he'd buried.
I chose the location, an underground fight club. Neutral enough to avoid attention and loud enough to mask a scream.
I had to take Elara home first before meeting him. Her accident was all over the news. She had been getting 'get well' gifts since morning too.
And from a different perspective, somehow, this was kind of helpful.
My attack and hers has been linked up to be the work of someone who wants her dead and now has been picked up as a case of importance with Chris as a major suspect.
