With a closed face, Lucinda wiped the mist on the window, and watched the rain.
Leon spent the whole day looking into what happened and only came back to report when it was nearly evening.
“Miss Simmons, after going through all the visiting records, only one person visited both Eleanor and Flynn in the past half month.”
“Who?” she asked with a frown.
“Well, it’s Sonny.” Leon handed her the documents he had compiled and continued, “Not long ago, Flynn also disappeared from prison for an hour. He was later found in the freezer room, but..”
“But what?” Lucinda asked impatiently.
“He was heavily wounded and covered in his own blood. He had been beaten with a whip or something similar. And from what I’ve gathered so far, both Flynn and Sonny work for Mr. Roberts.”

Lucinda snapped her head to his in surprise.
“Why are you only telling me this now?”
“We thought he getting locked up in the freezer room was just an accident. We also thought he was beaten up by someone in jail who had a grudge against him. And since he was still there in prison, we didn’t pay much attention to it.”
The first question Lucinda asked herself was how a whip found itself in prison. It was obvious that he was beaten out of jail, and then sent back in there for some reason.
Lucinda’s mind started working.
She thought of how strange Nathaniel was when she came back to the villa yesterday afternoon.
Now that she thought about it, all his actions were probably just to stall her. He surely didn’t want her to find out that Eleanor was missing.
She opened the file Leon gave her and saw that Eleanor disappeared just about the same time Nathaniel was holding her back.
What a fucking coincidence!

She recalled how happy he was when she came back earlier in the night.
Maybe he was happy that Eleanor was successfully broken out of prison.
Lucinda chuckled dryly, mocking herself.
She had been stupid enough to think that he truly regretted his actions, when in fact, he had been trying to lower her guard so as to save Eleanor.
He apologized and told her how he deserved to be punished. All that bullshit, just to get what he wanted– To protect Eleanor. After all, she was the woman he loved, right?
Lucinda was livid at this point.
The more she thought and recalled things, the angrier she got. In anger, she swept away everything that was on the table.
With a crashing sound, it all fell on the floor. Her once neat office, was now in a mess.
