Elena locked the bathroom's door once her father had gone out.
She walked to the other end opposite the bathtub.The wall was smooth and well painted just like the other parts of the house, but when Elena pushed it, a crack appeared to reveal a window like door that needed password to pass through.
She quickly typed the password, the door opened without making any noise. When she went inside, the door closed back and so did the wall.
The secret room was a very large room filled with all sorts of equipments, they were computers, cupboards that contained weapons and her black suits, there were also snacks for when she was hungry while walking. She could see everything that was going on in different parts of the house through the computers when she switched them on. She had installed a camera in each parts of the room for the past six years, without any of them noticing. She had done it because she understood she was becoming more of a threat to her stepmother and her daughter, so, she needed to pay attention to their movements. Lately, she had been busy handling other stuffs outside, but now when she was free, Elena decided to play a bit with them.
The only reason why she had gone into the room that day was to find out for herself who Lucien's son was. For others, it would have been impossible, but she knew her way around. She was keen on finding the man because while she was at the park, a thought had flash through her mind. Lucien was a very rich man, way richer than her father, with his help, or rather, with the help of his son, Elena was sure that things would be easier for her, Maybe she could make use of the guy afterall.
Her fingers typed quickly on the keyboard, within minutes, she had gotten every single detail about the unknown man. Why hadn't she thought about this before?. Elena shook her head in dismay.
Who was Harris compared to the man displayed on her computer? She asked herself with a smug look. Yes she had liked Harris about, no, a lot, but the guy was a fool, how would it feel to have such a useful husband who was also cute and rich at the same time?. It would feel blissful, Elena thought grinning. Her days ahead now seemed less stressful to her.
She logged out of the search page she had used to gather information about the man before going back to watch whatever thing that was happening in cassy's room. Cassy was sitted by the mirror removing the makeup from her face, Elena frowned deeply when she saw that she was busy on the phone talking happily to someone who obviously was Harris, the phone was lying on the bed and so, she had switched it to speaker mode.No matter how much she tried, she just couldn't help but feel safe when she thought about their betrayal.She and Harris had been friends since she could remember, one could say they were childhood sweethearts, they had promised to get married to each other once they graduated from college, who could have thought Cassy would show up in the picture to spoil everything for her?After listening to their meaningless discussion for a while, she switched off the computer before leaving the room inputting another set of password so as to open the door.
She had a quick shower before heading out, she decided to break the shocking news to her father whom she thought was as foolish as Harris, she sighed wondering what she ever did to be surrounded by such men.
