Lies

Upon arriving at Chantal's house, they entered quickly, making sure no one had followed them.

Ramon returned from the pharmacy and entered the room.

"Miss Emma, I brought your order," said Ramon, searching throughout the room.

Ramon left the room and went to the nurses' station.

"They took the patient from room 3 somewhere!" Ramon asked anxiously.

"No," said a nurse.

"Damn it!" Ramon exclaimed, calling his men to search for her.

After searching throughout the hospital, Ramon went to Carter's office to deliver the news.

Knock knock...

"Come in," said Carter.

"Good evening, sir, can I come in?" said Ramon nervously.

"Hello, Ramon," said Carter's sister, a teenage redhead still in her school uniform.

"Good evening, Miss Kelly," said Ramon.

"What are you doing here? I asked you to take care of Emma," Carter said without taking his eyes off the computer.

"Sir, Emma disappeared," Ramon said, looking down at the ground.

"Are you kidding? How could she disappear? I left you by her door!" Carter said, getting upset.

"Sir, I was deceived, and she took advantage of that moment to leave!" Ramon said.

"You're talking about Emma, the girl you hit with your car, and you've kept her as a prisoner, even though you were the one who hit her. Carter, you must be out of your mind," said Kelly, Carter's sister.

"Kelly, stay out of this. Ramon, get surveillance videos from the hospital and find her, no matter where she is," Carter said.

Ramon left the office and went straight to Emma's mother's house to see if he saw her entering or leaving.

"Are you losing your mind, Carter?" Kelly said.

"Don't meddle, Kelly. Instead, tell me why your grades have dropped so much. I'll take away all your cards and the car. Is that clear?" Carter said.

"It's unfair. You're taking away all the fun. I'm alone all day..." Kelly said, leaving the office.

"Wait, Kelly, we'll leave together," Carter said, grabbing his briefcase.

When they arrived home, Carter entered the house, and his grandparents were already there, along with Kelly.

"Grandma Victoria, I'm glad you're here... Carter is a dictator," Kelly said, hugging her grandmother.

"Carter, we came here from London to meet your new girlfriend and future wife," said his grandfather Victor.

"I'm glad you came. Can I offer you something to drink? Nana makes delicious cream buns," Carter tried to change the subject.

"Come here, my boy. Look how much you've grown," his grandmother said, hugging them like when they were children.

"Don't change the subject, Carter. We agreed that in two years, you would find a woman who would guide and accompany you, and you would stop being a recluse, getting involved with one woman after another," Victor said.

"Oh yes, grandpa. My brother is actively searching for a wife every day, and he even has a long list," Kelly said mockingly.

"Kelly, that's enough. Grandpa, I know that time is running out for me, and yes, I already have a girlfriend. I'll bring her soon for you to meet," Carter said, walking to the dining room where Nana had already served dinner.

"Really, my boy? Tell us about her," his grandmother said.

"Hmm, she's a girl with long brown hair, slim build, light brown eyes, fair complexion, with a strong personality," Carter said, describing Emma.

"I hope you're not lying and that she's not one of those women from the bars you frequent daily!" said his grandfather, taking a bite of his plate of meat.

"And what does she do for a living?" Kelly asked.

"Well, she's a newly graduated lawyer from Harvard!" Carter said, smiling.

"I believe you, my child. I can see it in your eyes when you talked about her," his grandmother said.
