Chapter 910 – Beginning with a Daring Encounter

It would take some time, but she was going to have to befriend both Alex and most of the people on the Island.

That was the only way she would know how to leave. Perhaps a ship came by to drop grocery and supplies for them from time to time. Or maybe they had a special way of transportation out of the island.

Whatever it was, she was going to find out.

Her gaze shifted to the interconnected door when she heard movements inside Cassidy’s bedroom, and she paused to listen.

A moment later she heard his bedroom door open and close gently and she got out of bed.

Where was he going to at this time of the night when he had only just returned a moment ago? She mused as she got out of bed.

She was going to have to follow him discreetly and find out what he was up to.

Thankfully she was still dressed in the tshirt and jeans she had been wearing all day, so she tried to be as noiseless as possible as she unlocked her bedroom door and tiptoed to the living room.

Because most of the lights in the house had been switched off save for the light in the hallway, Andy was able to make her way into the living room, and once she got there, she headed for the door, naturally assuming that Cassidy had gone out.

Cassidy who was seated in the dark sipping from a glass of whiskey watched silently as she made her way towards the door, and before she could reach for the knob, he raised a brow.

“Trying to run away?” He asked, startling Andy who spun around in surprise.

Instead of looking like a thief who had been caught in the act or admitting she had only been trying to follow him, Andy raised her chin as she met his gaze.

“What if I am?” She challenged, but Cassidy said nothing as he merely remained where he sat watching her over the rim of his whiskey glass.

When she didn’t get a response, she stepped towards to him, “Were you keeping watch over the door because you thought I was going to try to escape?” She asked suspiciously.

Cassidy sighed as he set his glass down and massaged his temple, “Sneaking around doesn’t suit you. Can you please sit down?” He asked calmly, and Andy being the reasonable person she was, and seeing no reason to argue over it sat down.

“Did you get my message to my sister? Did she send a response?” Andy asked as she tried to squint so she could get a better view of his face.

“She received the text, but she can’t text back,” Cassidy said, and Andy rose to lash out at him angrily, but he raised a finger to stop her.

“We don’t always have to fight or argue. If you want an explanation, you will get one. But don’t yell and just listen first,” he said and even though Andy was itching to speak she sat still and waited for him.

“The text was sent in a way that the number can never be traced back. I can’t be sure that her phone is safe. Someone could be monitoring her phone to see if she would hear from you or anything. I can’t be entirely sure that they bought the yacht’s explosion and believe I’m dead,” Cassidy said, and Andy raised a brow.

“If everything went as you planned and they’ve all been arrested, what are you scared of? They’re all locked up…”

“Their families were not arrested. The cartel lords might have been arrested but some of their sons could want to look deeper into my involvement and death. I’m trying to be sure it’s safe. I need it all to die down and for them to forget about me,” Cassidy explained, and Andy shook her head in confusion.

“I don’t understand. Why did you choose to get involved in all of this if you were going to betray them anyway? If you’re going to always have to live this way you should have just remained there since you’re just like them…”

“I’m nothing like them. I’d rather live this way than be a part of them,” Cassidy spat out bitterly and Andy’s brows pulled together in confusion.

“Well, when can I speak with my sister then? I have to talk to her,” Andy said instead of asking why he had sounded so bitter.

“I will let you know when I believe it’s safe,” Cassidy said and Andy shook her head.

“So, how am I supposed to know she is fine? I need to know how they are doing!” Andy insisted and Cassidy picked up his glass and drank from it.

“You might end up jeopardizing their safety if you keep contacting her. Your sister and nephew are safe at the moment. They are currently in Serenopolis, living with Harry Jonas, the lawyer’s boyfriend…”

“Why would she be living with the Lawyer’s boyfriend? And how do you know that? Andy asked in confusion.

“I don’t know the exact details yet, but she looks like she is doing okay,” Cassidy said as he rose and Andy watched, wondering why he was leaving.

He walked down the hallway and went into his bedroom and just when she thought their conversation was over and he had left, he returned to the living room holding an envelope.

He turned on the light in the living room,”I was going to give this to you in the morning,” he said dropping the envelope on her lap as he returned to his seat.

Andy opened the envelope and took out the pictures inside. She blinked back tears when she saw several pictures of Candace at different times.

“I thought you would be worried and want to know how she was doing so I asked my men to keep an eye on her. I couldn’t get across to them or access their messages until we arrived. From what I gathered, she returned to Serenopolis with the lawyer lady after Jero’s death. She doesn’t move around much, so it took some time for them to find out where she was, but by following the movements of the lawyer lady and her boyfriend they were able to locate her,” Cassidy explained as Andy pored over the pictures.

There were a couple of photos of Candace. She was walking into OmniGlobal company with Harry, and another of her and Jade walking into a boutique and coming out with Candace dressed in her new classy clothes.

“She looks so beautiful. The clothes look so good on her,” Andy murmured to herself as she brushed her tears from her cheeks.

And then there was another picture of Candace seated in Harry’s car and crying when she received Andy’s text.

“This was sent earlier today. I believe it was around the time she got your text,” Cassidy said when he noticed she was staring at that particular picture.

“I don’t think you have to worry much about her. My men observed that she was being followed. It seems they’re still trying to protect her,” Cassidy said, but Andy said nothing.

Andy smiled when she saw a picture of someone getting into the car and she didn’t need to take a closer look to know it was Matt. The fact that he was covering his face like a celebrity made her certain he was the one

Did this mean that things was going smoothly between them as she hoped? Andy mused with a smile.

She picked up the last picture, and her smile widened when she saw a picture of Candace walking down the red carpet in the company of Harry and the others.
