Chapter 24

Ashanti's POV:

***Present ***

"She spotted me"I whisper to myself in the crowd

So it is true,she did kill mama

"No,no,no, this wasn't part of the plan"

I scurry away from the crowd and go straight to my cottage making sure nobody sees me or finds me suspicious.

I slam the door and immediately I pace thinking what my next move will be

"Soon they'll be looking for me" I thought

"What do I do now?"I soliloquize

Just then there is a knock on my door

"Ashanti open up"I hear a familiar voice call out at the door

"Louis"

I rush to open the door only to see him bleeding from the left corner of his forehead with a bloody nose and torn lip.

I gasp at the shock of his state

"I'm sorry"he mutters

Before I can rush to him someone from the corner pushes him aside.A man tall and very dark with a dangerous expression.

"I have reasons to believe that you know that girl"he says with a deep voice
