Chapter 129: Sinister

Antonio’s eyes widened in fear as they looked at the massive dog standing in the doorway. The dog looked more like a wolf and was currently baring his teeth at them, lips pulled back angrily. It pulled against the leash, wanting to attack and Antonio started to tremble in his seat.

However, it was Sara whose reaction was even worse. She pushed away from Antonio and from the stool she sat on, putting as much distance between them as possible. Her eyes frantic, she rubbed her arms and scratched at her clothes as if trying to get rid of them.

Demetri’s eyes narrowed in satisfaction as he questioned," I thought it was very brave of you to stand in the way of this dog to save Nora. How selfless. But what is this? You are cowering in a corner now? What if the dog’s leash slips? It will attack Antonio. Aren’t you going to save him?"

Instead of answering his question, Sara cried loudly while screaming," I had not thought those things through! But now, please take the dog away. It is scary? What have we done? Please leave us. Let us go."

Antonio quickly stood in front of Sara and spoke," Mr Frost, I don’t know why you won’t believe in our innocence but if you don’t I am willing to stand here and let the dog attack me! Let Sara go..."

Demetri smiled and looked at Antonio," Are you sure that the girl is innocent? Why do you think she is so scared of that dog? Hmm? It is the dog that attacked Nora... Miss Anderson, are you still not going to confess?"

"I’ll tell you everything. I’ll tell you everything. But, first please take the dog away. Please take it away."

Satisfied, Demetri nodded at the dog handler who quickly dragged the dog away and waited for the girl to talk," I did not do it on purpose. Please believe me."

"Keep the explanations for later. First, you will give me her location and then you will confess to your deeds."

"I don’t know her location..." Sara immediately spoke.

Demetri narrowed his eyes dangerously as he warned," Miss Sara, I really don’t care if you live or die. But if you insist on being torn into pieces by a dog and dying a slow death, you can be my guest. So, for the last time, where is Nora?"

While these two had been locked here, the police had already sent people into the lake to look for the location of the second GPS. But like the first one, it had come out empty. It had now been more than two hours since Nora had disappeared, and Demetri’s patience was wearing thin. He had no inclination to follow the law anymore. The law would not bring Nora back if something happened to her.

Sara shivered and bowed her head," I really don’t know where she is. I was only supposed to make her unconscious and drag her into a hidden door. It is in the last corridor. You have to count at about 5 hands from the bottom and there is a lever that operates a hidden wall. I bribed a classmate and once she was injected to become unconscious, the two of us dragged her into the wall and left her there. I don’t know what happened from there."

With the main information in his hand, Demetri quickly marched towards the corridor, leaving the two people behind. But this time, they were not under the illusion that they would have relief. Soon another man entered and placed a camera on the table. Using a single word, he ordered," Confess."

Antonio, who had a bad feeling, looked at Sara with sad eyes and asked," Were you involved in the dog incident?"

Sara nodded her head and shrank her neck. "I did not do it on purpose! I was coerced by my mother!"

The other man scoffed at this and said," Are you only going to confess about the dog? Miss Sara Anderson, I believe you should start from the beginning- with Max. Also, there is no point in saving face in front of this man and blaming your mother. You are just as evil if not more. By the end of your confession, this man is going to be questioning his own sense of judgement."

Closing her eyes, Sara accepted that the end was near. She had been so careful but still had been found out. If only Antonio had agreed to go away with her sooner, none of this would have happened. She hated her mother for what she made her do. But she also hated Nora who refused to suffer losses and instead caused her harm!

Her eyes red with hatred, she gave a laugh and said," So what? If he hates me then let him hate! But he needs to hate Nora more. Only then will I be satisfied. After all, I had to do everything because of her!"

"What did you do?" Antonio asked her slowly.

"I am the one who changed Max’s medicine. Then I started talking to him about Nora so that he would slowly become obsessed with her. And then I instigated him into ’chasing’ her. I reassured him that she was receptive of his advances. But I had to do it carefully. And then, when he started losing it, I started using the opposite approach. I begged him to stop. I told him that she was already married and with someone else."

"Everything was going perfectly when Demetri Frost appeared. Nora actually ran to him! I’d been so careful and now he was caught. That is when I decided to use him one last time. I wanted him to kidnap Nora and kill her before he committed suicide. But he killed himself, claiming that he could not kill the person he loved. My entire plan crumbled and I knew that someone would soon realize that Max was not alone in the entire set-up. So, I started pestering the police and misguided them, turning their gazes towards my mother who had always openly hated Nora..."
