Chapter 39

Thomas read the words over and over anxiously. He was agitated. "Whoever sent you this letter is clearly the one who poisoned Charles." Sophia bit the inside of her cheek in worry. Thomas put the letter down,"This person, this man rather, says that he is your 'admirer'. Do you have any idea who it could be?"

Carina shook her head no. She was awestruck. The letter itself had terrified her. But the fact that a man had murdered Charles for 'her', made her insides churn. She felt sick. She wanted to cry.

Cecilia looked around her chamber. "Where is Thomas?"

Nathan snorted, "He's probably drying his girlfriend's tears in some corner. And you call this man the love of your life! And even better, the father of your unborn child!"

"This isn't the time Nate! Our brother is dead! Do you not understand?" Nathan sighed.

"Of course I do. I'm terrified. We were all right there. Yet we couldn't save him. To be killed in your own home..."

"Do you really think it was Carina?"

He shrugged, "It could be her mother as well. After all, what sort of a mother wouldn't want her child to inherit such a big fortune?"

Cecilia turned solemn,"Then there is no other choice. She needs to atone. She needs to die."
