Ron:
I was being treated as if I had already been confirmed for the murder of my grandmother. My fists clenched, and my eyes landed on the handcuffs in my hands.
The wrong person was in handcuffs while the killer was enjoying his or her life outside.
“Yuvonne and Madeline.”
As soon as I said those names, I watched Elgin tilt his head and raise his eyebrow in confusion.
"Sorry, what was that?" he asked, once again straightening his back so he could rest his elbows on the table and lean ahead to bring his ear closer to me.
"Those two will find a way to prove my innocence and to find..." I started, but I was in the middle of talking when Elgin let out a loud burst, hand to his chest like he could not stop himself from laughing out loud.
It was disrespectful, but I waited for him to finish so he could tell me what he found so funny about it. My jaw tightened as I kept my eyes on him.
"I know it will hurt you, but you have expectations from the wrong people," he commented proudly.
"Has either one of them come to see you yet?" he asked me straight up, moving his fingers from left to right, mentioning Madeline and Yuvonne.
"Yuvonne is embarrassed, and Madeline is a rogue. Even if she wants to come, they will not let her," I tried to defend them, looking back at Elgin with confidence in my eyes.
"Really?" Elgin uttered, nodding his head.
"Well then, you must know that Madeline is being given a lot of respect these days for becoming a member of your pack," he continued. "So much that even Lady Abigail and Graham's wife were made to bow at her feet and apologize to her."
His words shook me. For a moment, I could not believe that something like that had happened.
And I guess Elgin realized it because he started to pull his phone out to show me something.
Sure enough, there was a video of Madeline in the same situation Elgin had described.
“She is staying in the pack and traveling to different packs with medicine, helping sick children. Her husband is being given five herb treatments that were reserved only for royals, and even then, very rarely,” As Elgin explained, I began to clench my jaw.
Fine, it hurt to lose everything, but I did not feel bad for myself. I felt bad for my grandmother.
I had hoped and expected at least one of them to put aside their busy, happy lives for a few seconds to think about my grandmother and get justice for her.
"And you definitely have something to tell me about Yuvonne," I said to him as I raised my head and looked him dead in the eye.
The look on his face told me everything. He nodded and began playing audio clips of Yuvonne speaking to her reporter friend, trying to demean Graham.
The clips were specifically about Graham. She talked about ruining his reputation and destroying him publicly.
"Is there anything wrong with that?" I asked Elgin, realizing that Yuvonne was actually doing the right thing by going after that asshole.
Elgin started to laugh.
