Chapter 21 An Uninvited Guest

Kelly looked from one strange face to another. She was seated next to Helena in the vast sitting room, aside from she, Helena and Alexander, there were four other men and a woman who looked few years older than her. She was seated next to Alexander and was telling him something which seemed to be important from the way his brows were furrowed in concentration.

He looked up and cleared his throat before speaking.

"I don't know how it got out, no doubt Carmichael himself is behind it, but the press has gotten information about the case filed against me and that is what is all over the news now. Also, the police knows I and Kelly haven't left yet and the search for us has intensified with the new coverage the case has received and trying to prove Carmichael's relationship to the attack has been very difficult, I'm afraid we might just not be able to leave except someone has an otherwise suggestion on how we should go about it."
