CHAPTER 79: CLEO 2

Elektra really loved how Pearl grew wings and guts after getting rid of her and Hope. She lifted her hand and the white particles that were so chilling and very cold appeared.

Pearl and Robert watched with horror as Elektra within seconds formed an ice-pointed stick and she threw it just on top of their heads. Robert didn’t need anyone to tell him that he was dealing with a supernatural.

He could deal with a normal human being but this wasn’t in his resume at all.

“You….you… don’t kill us. Whatever you want, we will give you, just show us mercy!” Pearl lost all her arrogance and began pleading for mercy as she cried.

She didn’t want to die at all, if this person needed answers, then she was going to tell her. didn’t she want to know about Hope and Cleo?

“If you want to do something then do it to me. Please don’t do anything to my wife and kids!” Robert said.

Even though he died and had a rebirth, he wasn’t going to let his family suffer for his actions. Everything that he did was for Pearl and his own selfish reasons, he wasn’t going to let his actions lead to the death of her or his children.

Elektra clapped her hands again and said, “we are now talking. Since you are both willing to give me what I want, you better be serious or I will do something scarier than last time.”

“Just ask and I will answer!” Robert said before Pearl could answer.

Inside the blankets, the two were holding hands, they both needed strength to hold on. They didn’t want this night to be their last when there was a long life ahead of them.

“Where is Hope’s diary?” Elektra didn’t want to circle around and asked for what she needed.

When Pearl heard this, she didn’t even understand what this person was talking about, “what diary?”

Elektra didn’t even bother to look at Pearl as this lady was completely useless when it comes to this issue, “Robert, are you going to answer me or should I start and give you a taste of freezing?”

Robert closed his eyes; his emotions were completely in shambles. No one knew about this matter except for himself. He was the only person that knew of what transpired about the diary.

Back then, he had sent men to chase Cleo to get the diary, and everyone who was involved that night perished. He didn’t want anyone talking about it but he never expected someone else knows about this issue.

Who was plotting against him?

“Hubby, what is she talking about?” Pearl could tell that only she didn’t know what was being talked about and she didn’t like that at all.

“I don’t have time in the world Robert!” Elektra coldly said as another icicle formed in her hand.

“Before I answer you, can you tell me why you want to know about this? And also, can you promise me not to hurt my family?” Robert knew that he won’t be able to get out of this no matter what tricks he has up his sleeves.

This person was here for answers and she meant serious business. With so many men that guarded his house, he had a feeling that they had been taken care of already and he didn’t know about his children’s welfare and it scares him a lot.

“I will keep to my word!” Elektra promised since she wasn’t here to kill anyone anywhere.

“The diary is in my basement safe. You can go and find it there!” Robert felt his heartache as he said this, this was his greatest secret after all.

He had never told his wife about this safe before and revealing it now, he knew that it was going to create some tensions between the couple but at this moment he didn’t care about anything.

“The password!” Elektra demanded, there was no way she was going to act like a hooligan.

Robert gave Elektra the password and she stood up, “don’t even think of anything silly. We are still not done!”

With that, she swayed her body and made her way to the basement.

In the bedroom, Robert was comforting Pearl who was crying, “as long as she keeps her promise, we will survive this.”

“But what is she talking about the diary? Did you have Hope’s diary all these years?” Pearl asked in a shaky voice.

Robert sighed, he never thought that one day he will expose his ugly side to his wife but there was no need to hide anything now.

“Umm, I took it from Cleo the night that she died,” Robert truthfully answered and Pearl looked at him with horror.

“You……..did you……Cleo…..?” Pearl couldn’t make out the words.

She hated those people a lot but killing them directly was something that she didn’t want at all. she was relieved when she heard that Cleo was in a car accident and died.

She didn’t do anything to her so Cleo’s death wasn’t in her hands. Hope committed suicide herself and she didn’t do anything. Of course, Pearl was just stupid and ignorant. How could she not even sense that she was the Helen of Troy and brought disaster on others?

“It was an accident and that diary was going to let Hope’s charges be dropped against her and I couldn’t let that happen,” Robert answered.

“Does this mean that Hope didn’t kill my mother?” Pearl asked shakily, she just couldn’t accept this reasoning at all.

“She wasn’t but she also led to it,” Robert answered.

“Then…..she and Cleo………” Pearl felt as if the world wasn’t right at all.

What was going on?
