Chapter 151: The Enemy

"We need to rescue Sara as soon as possible." Lara paced the length of the dark room as she spoke angrily.

"I just don’t understand how she was caught. How did they get suspicious of her? I’d been so careful with helping her establish the cover. Then how did that Demon Frost know to catch her?"

"I need answers, Tom. Have you found out where Sara is right now? She’s too fragile. She won’t last long under torture. And if something happens to our baby..."

The man narrowed his eyes as he glanced at the woman he loved and shook his head. "I’ve already found out how they discovered that. The boy that Sara used to stalk Nora and scare her, his roommate was some kind of live streamer. He usually used backgrounds so no one bothered about it, but Demon used experts who cleared the backgrounds to check who frequented the boy and what they spoke about."

"That man was like a dog who had a bone in his teeth, refusing to let go. Even the mastiff incident, on the surface he let rumors spread that he had stopped looking into it but he did not."

Lara’s eyes narrowed in hatred as she heard the words. So, they’d never fooled those people. That girl Nora really had made things difficult for her this time. For the first time, Lara felt at a loss. She had gambled everything for this and lost. This was not how it was supposed to be! Nora should have died like that Nellie! Instead, that girl was parading through the high society, showing off while her Sara was...

Tom sighed as he looked at the crazed Lara and shook his head, "It would have been better if you had abandoned that girl and taken Sara to come and live with me abroad. I have the money, Lara. You know that. Sara is being held in a mental institution. Why don’t you go ahead to country N? I will rescue our daughter and bring her there."

Lara shook her head at the suggestion. "No. I still have one ace up my sleeve. That girl Arabelle. I’m still in touch with her. I’ve already probed. Even though she is engaged to Gabe Frost, she is only interested in getting rid of Nora. She will help me. The only problem is that fiance of hers. He seems to be keeping a close eye on her."

"There is something else you need to know Lara." Tom spoke gravely.

"What is it?"

"That Demetri Frost is already sniffing around Nellie’s case. It won’t be long before he will be able to pin that in you."

Lara stilled. "Why would he do something so futile? Nellie has nothing to do with that man... It must be Nora who told him to investigate because of that skeleton. We need to get rid of Demetri Frost along with that Nora..."

"Its not that. Demetri Frost was the one who arranged for Nellie to be buried..."

This caused Lara to actually freeze as she understood the implications... and she laughed loudly," No wonder that Nora’s luck has been so good. So she ended up with that Nellie’s ex. What a small world. Don’t worry, Tom. First, we’ll rescue Sara and then the both of you can leave the country. I will get rid of those two and follow you."

Inside the mental institution, Sara Anderson continue to stare at the blank wall in front of her with red eyes. She had been so happy when Antonio had agreed to marry her. Why did this happen to her every time? Why was she so unlucky?

The previous time he married her, the priest turned out to be a fake. She did so many things to make him love her and give in to her and yet things turned out like this. All Nora had to do was die so that Antonio would never look at her again and doubt himself of his love for her. But instead now he hated her.

Just as she sat there, a nurse entered the room and she glared at the woman," Why are you here? I don’t want any more medicine. You people are horrible. I am perfectly normal but you keep trying to make me insane."

The nurse nodded calmly and agreed," I know, Sara. Come here, I’ll help you comb your hair."

Sara glared at the nurse. This nurse was too kind. The previous ones were not like this. They would simply pull her by the hair and threaten to cut off her hair if she did not listen to them. "Are you going to cut off my hair? Are you hiding the scissor behind you?"

Sara lunged at the woman, trying to check her body for scissors, but the woman caught the girl in her arms and whispered to her, "Sara, be calm. Your mother has sent me to bring you out."

Sara stilled at the words. Her mother had promised her that she would always take care of her. Her mother had not forgotten her and abandoned her?

"Are you telling the truth?"

The nurse nodded and gently turned Sara to sit down on the mattress as she whispered, "This place is full of cameras so I can’t tell you much. But your mother has said that she won’t let her baby be here longer. You just need to be calm, Sara and then you can get out of here."

"I want to go to Antonio." Sara spoke like a small child now.

The nurse nodded and assured her," Yes, I know. We will leave this place and then go our of this country. Your mother and Antonio will follow. He does not hate you, you know. He is still in love with you. Your mother has also spoken to him about how much you love him...Tonight, be ready to leave..."

As Sara nodded, the woman gently let her rest before she exited the cell and continued with her other duties. It was only after she left in the evening that she took out her cell phone and made the call," I have already arranged everything and informed Sara. She should be able to leave tonight."
