Chapter 48: Chapter 48

"Karol!!! What's wrong?" Aunt asked.

The road was cleared for me and I ran past, took a hold of the cake, and rushed outside without giving anyone an explanation for my actions.

Everyone ran outside, Darren attempted to stop me but veers back the moment  I tossed the cake afar and it blows up in pieces.

(They faxed donning a startled look on their faces, aunt pulls me closer and hugged me, she says, "oh my goodness!! How the hell did this happen?". She asked and at the same time, uncle Kevin rushed in and took notice of the bleached cake on the floor.

"What's going on?" He says.

"Don't ask, rather thank my daughter-in-law for saving our lives.". Mr. Smith airs out to his brother, who falls his intense gaze on me.

Darren moved further and placed a warm kiss on my forehead, "thank you" he says, holding a hand on my shoulder.

(Inaudible conversation, an hour later)

(My room)

Aunt was so joyed hearing I saved her from such a death trap but was a lot happy, that this will gain a little of Mr. Smith trust.

She sat me down on the bed and said, "baby!! You did a great job, and come to think of it, how did you know that there was a boom in the cake?".

So I answered back her, "actually aunt!! I caught uncle Kevin, Darren's uncle, hatching up a plan with some group of men, they wanted to kill Darren and now the question is, why and for what reason, would his uncle do such to him?".

Silence takes over the room as we both lingered our minds to at least get a clue of what he wants, apparently, the best way of finding out the truth, is for uncle Kevin to air out his views, I cannot believe, someone wants to kill Darren, why not Mr .Smith, his the murderer.

(A week later, still at the hotel)

Aunt left home very early in the morning, after spending some time with me, thus, Tori refused to leave, according to her she says, she needed a time out away from her mother, urgh!! What a drama queen.

Darren left to get some work done, whereas Mr and Mrs Smith, well!! They decided to go for a long drive together, as for uncle Kevin, I had no idea where he was and what exactly his planning to do next. (Frowns)

"Room service".

I move forward and opened the door, "good morning ma'am!! This parcel is for you?". A young lady gives it to me and walked away without a single word as to who sent it, all I saw, was directed to me.

Out of curiosity, I opened up the parcel and it reads, "meet me at the dawn of laws, at midnight and please come alone".

(Ends)

I had no idea who the sender was, but somehow I figured it must have been Darren, he always up for a mischievous prank.

(12:00pm)

As earlier instructed, I boarded a taxi and it took me to, the exact place, the letter said to come, denoting it was an old carnival site, beat down old constructions, thus come to think of it, Darren would never let me come here, unless?.

"Hello!! Mrs. Karol".

A masculine voice lets out from behind, I turned and infer uncle Kevin staring at me, his gaze was so deadly that it sent wrong signals.

"Uncle Kevin!!! What are you doing here or better yet, why are you here?". I asked and watched him ambling further in my direction.
