Chapter 3

Those words wounded the very depths of her soul. Biting her lower lip to stop her tears from flowing, she took a deep breath and him

"You're right sir and I'm sorry, but you should know that one is born without parents and being an orphan is not anyone's choice on earth; because that choice is up to the creator, he calls whoever and whenever he wants from this world so don't get too carried away because you don't know when your turn is due. She says this as she leaves the office. When she reached the door, she turned and said to him: better to be poor and prepare a good place for yourself in the hereafter than to be rich and greedy and perish in hell. In every reign, the apogee precedes the decline, and don't forget that decline is a bastard", she opens the door and leaves the room.

She comes to her senses and realizes that she's a long way from the city, driving on a freeway. it's now that she realizes that she's been too hard on her .

"I bet it's you playing that trick on us again, but know that you'll never reach until Clément has said the last word." she comforts herself.

She wanted to brake to put her mind at ease and prepare to face her father-in-law and especially her fiancé, when she realized that the brakes had failed.

"No not now, I mustn't die now my God please help me protect my baby....

She hadn't finished her prayer when a large truck travelling in the opposite direction and at high speed hit her car, sending it hurtling into the ditch at the other end of the road.

"Nooonn!!! was the cry uttered by Isabelle before she began to fall to the bottom of the ditch. The truck driver stopped a few meters from incident and made a phone call.

"Madame, it's done"

"Well done Romeo, make sure she's gone for good, call me back after checking" congratulated Cassandra on the other side of the

"Okay ma'am count me in."

After hanging up, Cassandra dials a number, a satisfied smile on her .

"Sir, everything is going like ."

"I knew you'd be efficient. The game has just begun and its up to you. Don't disappoint me" replied his .

"Count on me, sir, and you'll never regret choosing me."

Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Clément is slowly coming to his senses, his head is spinning and he's suffering from a severe migraine. He looks around and recognizes the room. He straightens up and is shocked by the state he finds himself in.

"What the hell is going on?" he says to himself in astonishment. He struggles to his feet and picks up his phone from the table.

"What? Two in the morning? It's not possible, I don't understand thing." In front of his screen he notices fifteen missed calls seven unread messages from his . He tries to call her back, but she's unreachable.

He called his driver who replied "Madame joined you alone last night".

"Shit!!!" he said, collapsing into the couch.

His heart was and he sensed that something bad had . He decides to call his

"Meet me in my suite immediately

"What? I'm not at the hotel anymore"

"What do you mean you're not at the hotel anymore? Where are you and what happened? Clément asked .

"You asked me to take the night off because you didn't want to be disturbed," justified himself.

"When? "

"Since the party, you texted me, what's going on?" asked .

"Damn it!!! Clement growled angrily, "join me immediately

"Okay, I'm coming."

"I don't know who's behind it, but you'll pay ," Clement gritted his teeth.

After checking, Cassandra's henchmen couldn't find Isabelle .

"Madame, we found no trace Isabelle - only her bag and phone were in the car

"idiot! What do you mean you can't find her ? Look for her and finish with her, damn it!" growled Cassandra over the

"Madam, we have just searched a perimeter of 500 square meters without success".

"I don't need these insane details, I've invested a long time to make this moment happen and you'd better find her or get ready to say goodbye to your crummy lives."

she spoke, she heard someone call out to her interlocutor. "Romeo, come and see!"

"What's going on Romeo?

"Madam, we've just discovered the body of a woman who died about two days ago, and it's not Madame Isabelle because her body is already decomposing.

"All right. Blow up the car together with this body, take Isabelle's stories and you put them a few yards away so it's visible. Make look like Isabelle was the victim of the incident and find her for me

"Romeo replied, carrying out 's orders.

Derrick meets up with Clément at the hotel at around 4 a.m. Clément explains what's going on, and the two of them have no what's going on

"I think someone's played an evil trick on us, and this time he's played right," says .

"Go and see the hotel manager and tell him to show you the CCTV footage and look for last night's waitress," said Clement as he headed into the bathroom.

A few minutes later, he emerges to find Derrick waiting him.

"So?" asked.

"He tells me that the surveillance camera footage from last night has been destroyed, and the waitress handed in her letter of resignation yesterday after her shift."

- Damn it! Who could do this to me? Is it my father?

"I don't think so. It's true that your father can be harsh at times, but he's not so mean as to come to .

"I'm lost Derrick, Isabelle is unreachable and the butler me she didn't come home last night.
