CHAPTER 29

  Aubrey's POV

  I glared at Dario.

  Exchanging words with a scumbag like him would just be a waste of my energy.

  I won't waste my time bantering with a lowlife. I hissed.

  Then, Lucas walked in, a strong expression etched on his face. "Aubrey, Alex Billlord is dead." He dropped the bomb.

  "What?!" Dario and I exclaimed simultaneously.

  Lucas approached me, eyeing Dario with the look of disgust on his face.

  "How did he die?" I asked, my expression grim.

  "I suspect murder," Lucas said, his voice low. "He was poisoned in his cell this morning."

  My eyes narrowed at Dario. "What did you do, Dario?" I was accused.

  Dario's gaze faltered. "I…I don't know what you are talking about." He stammered, increasing my suspicions.

  Dario seemed lost in thought.

  Seems he doesn't know about it. I thought.

  I recalled telling Lucas to have Alex released from prison this morning, since I was aware he wasn't the culprit. He was taking the fall for someone else.
