Becoming Strangers Again by Lily

Chapter 126

Day two and no tangible news. Despite my father telling me to trust him and Detective Balham, I went ahead to discuss with a captain at the scaport.

Today, I intend on making a few calls, so one of the containers that leave for Sweden won't be checked by the officials.

Also, I am working on a fake ID for him. When they get you the middle of the sea, he is going to change into the uniform of the workers there and pretend to be one of them.

The rest of the crew members will be turning blind eyes too because they will be compensated accordingly. While my father makes his plan, I also need to make backup plans in case he fails.

The door to my bedroom pushed open and Angelo rushed in. Dropping the picture of Lily which I've been staring at, I stood to my feet, observing his shocked face closely.

Did something happen? Did they hear bad news about Lily? Fear gripped me. "What's going on?"

"You haven't seen the news yet?" He asked, already pulling his phone out to show me

Taking the phone, I prayed with everything in me that it wouldn't be news about a body found in a bump. However, it was news about a body, but not found where I had feared, and also the body didn't belong to Lily.

My nose scrunched. "How did this happen?" Ished with astonishment, handing the phone back to Angelo. "Didn't she just get discharged from the hospital?"

He nodded. "I'm as shocked as you are right now." He mumbled, shoving the phone back into his pocket. "Heavens know I wasn't expecting the news of her death."

"Suicide?"
