Chapter 137


    Chapter 0137


    Pray.


    I pray for the Moon goddess to prove my innocence. I don’t want to go back to t t e H a r m girls to


    start hating me again. If they do, I won’t survive it because I no longer have Tessa by my side to


    lean on and cry to when things get too hard. I’ll be done for if they find that ne among my


    belongings.


    We finally arrive atst floor where my room is situated and step out of the elevator. Ma’am Lisa


    leads the way to my bedroom and the victorious smile on Linda’s face makes me understand that


    I’m doomed.


    When the search is carried out, the ne is found among my belongings as expected.


    “I told you she stole it!”


    “I swear I didn’t.” Tears well up in my eyes. “I didn’t steal the ne.”


    “Linda, are you sure Ashanti stole this ne?” Lisa asks Linda who quickly nods her head in


    agreement.


    “Yes ma’am!”


    “I didn’t!” I protest.


    “Be quiet!” Lisa shuts me off. Bile rises in my stomach and I clench my fists by my side in anger.


    “Both of you,e with me!” She orders and leads the way to the end of the hallway where there’s


    another room I have never bothered to check out.


    I am terrified and confused. Linda is smiling from mr to mr. When we get to the door, Lisa


    creaks the door open and my mouth drops to the floor when I look in and see what the room is.


    There are severalputers on the walls and on the desks in the table and there are four men


    sitting in front of theputers watching. On the screen of eachputer is footage of specific


    areas of the building.


    That’s when i is in. We are here to watch a CCTV footage to confirm if I really stole the ne orn


    “Good evening boys.” Lisa greets the guys as we all walk into the room.


    “Good evening Ma’am.” Lisa looks at Linda who now looks terrified.


    “At what time did you notice your ne was missing?” She asks Linda.


    “I… I… uh…” Linda stutters nervously. I smother a smile. “Just this evening.” She replies and Lisa


    turns to the guys once more.


    “Where’s the camera for this hallway?” She asks and one of the men points to a a nearby screen.


    Lisa walks to the screen and presses a few keys on the keyboard. She keeps pressing the keys and


    looking closely at the screen. Everything is ck and white so I can’t really make out images or


    understand what’s going on, but Lisa seems to understand how it works because after looking for


    some time, she stops and stands upright.


    “I’ve seen what I needed to see. Thank you.” The guys simply bow to her and she gestures to us to


    follow her outside. Once in the hallway, she stops walking and looks at us.


    heart has flown to the moon without me.


    “Linda, for incriminating and falsely using Ashanti, you will be demoted to the normal H a r e m


    quarters. You have until midnight to transfer your stuff back into your former room at the H r m


    quarters.”


    “No!” Linda screams.””I… it’s not a false usation. She stole my ne.”


    “The CCTV footage shows otherwise. A few hours ago you sneaked into her bedroom with the


    ne and put it there yourself! There’s evidence! And if you keep insisting, I will show it to Alpha


    Reagan and you know what that will entail!”


    “It was not my idea!” Linda keeps screaming. Tears are flying down her cheeks like a waterfall.


    “If it wasn’t your idea, whose was it then?” Lisa asks calmly. I face Linda, eagerly waiting to hear the


    name she’s about to call.


    “It was…” she stops and hups. “It was…” she stops yet again and I get confused. I look at Lisa


    and my heart sinks when I see the meaningful re she’s casting at Linda. The re that’s stopping


    her from calling the name she wants to call. When I look back at Linda, my stomach lurches when


    she shakes her head and says;


    “It was no one. I set her up myself. It was my idea. No one influenced me.”


    I don’t believe her words. The terror on her face after Lisa shot her that re makes me understand


    there’s more to this story.


    Someone asked her to do it.”I can feel it!


    She cries bitterly.


    “Get your things ready!” Lisa says firmly and Linda cries even harder.


    “What’s going on here?” A familiar voice asks from a distance. We all turn to look and my heart


    migrates to my throat when I see Alpha Reagan stepping out of the elevator.


    oh…


    This just got even more messy for Linda.


    The thought of that makes me smile.
