The Knights Pearls

Chapter 23

*EDITED*

Ace P.O.V

"So, here's the plan once they confess it will be all over for Elijah," Lindonna said as I stood silently.

I couldn't protect her.

I couldn't keep her from the dark world.

I couldn't protect the one person...

"Ace?"

I snap out of my thought as I turn towards her "this is officer Dexter he will be guiding us through what's going to happen within the next few hours" she says as I turn my attention to the officer.

"Hello Mr. Knight, I want to assure you we will be getting your girlfriend-" before he could finish, I quickly interrupt "Fiancé," I say as the man smiles "We will be getting your fiancé safely, for the meantime, we have two people in questioning and once they confess to the crimes then will have our whole team go in and take him into custody," he said as I nodded.

I then walked towards the double-sided mirror wall where they have taken Annalise's mother and one of Elijah's business partners....

*The following morning*

I have grown very impatient... after nearly 10 hours of trying to get them to talk but nothing.  That's it!

"Sir! You can't go in there."

I roughly open the door to see Annalise's mother sitting with a cup of coffee in front of her. She instantly locks eyes with me and adjusts herself in the seat. "You can't be in here; my lawyer will be hearing about this-" before she can finish, I smash my hand on the table causing her to jump and her coffee to spill.

Silence

I place the contract that was sent to me regarding Annalise and Elijah's marriage. "I presume you have gone through this contract," I say deeply.

"its non of your concern" she huffs as she turns away "then you have read the fine print" I smirk as she freezes "there is no fine print" she smiles as I open the package and hand her the paper.

Her body freezes as she begins to tremble... "th-this is not true YOU MADE THIS UP" she screams as I continue to glare at her. "why don't you read what you missed" I spitefully say as she snatched the paper.

Her eyes went wide.

By signing this contract both parties have agreed that all company rights belonging to the White estate will be transferred to the Clyde Family along with any properties/shares. Furthermore, by signing this contract once Annalise White reaches legal age will be reunited by marriage sealing the contract. If the couple failed to be wed the Clyde Family will receive 500 Million.

I watched her as she cried hysterically "WILL BE RUINED THAT COWERED HOW DARE HE DO THIS TO US" she cried as I simply watched "are you done?"

She stopped as she looked towards me "what do I have to do to break this cursed contract without paying 500 Million" she says as she looks away in shame. "Simple, by hind that wall we are being recorded all you have to do is confess that all accusations towards Elijah was true" she glares towards me as I get up seeing no need to stay.

"WAIT."

I turn "I CONFESS EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM IS TRUE!" she said as she huffs and puffs "happy?" she says as the door burst open as she screams at them not to touch her "very," I say as I smirk. They then arrest her as she screams that her lawyer will be coming after them. Soon after Elijah's business partner confesses to all the sins as well that Elijah is involved with a drug cartel along with the evidence and location of where the base is.
