Chapter 122 Ke knows a lot

Christian's POV.

“You are really heartless, aren't you?” I asked him with a frown on my face.

He chuckled. “I don't understand.”

“I was supposed to come into the fire to save you when you were the one who dragged yourself along with your wife there in the first place?”

“Tell me. Was any other person found on the third floor when the firefighters searched?” I asked him.

“You should ask Ethan that. I left immediately after the fire broke out” he said.

My forehead creased. Anyone could have called the firefighters but I had it in mind all along that he was the one who called for them.

“Wait, who called the firefighters?” I asked.

“Ethan. I told Ethan to do it” he said.

Ethan was coming into the story and that made my jaws clench.

“Another question” I said and before I could proceed, he spoke.

You are asking too many questions, Christian” he said. “Are you trying to investigate how the fire happened?”

“It could be some wires connecting to each other in the control room.” He said.

“I had told the guards not to worry about the naked wires when we were doing maintenance since we had no time,” he said. “The fire probably started from there”

“And where's the control room you are talking about?” I asked with my gaze darkened.

“On the left side of the second floor,” he said.

That doesn't add up with what happened.

The fire started from the third floor and it was even from the right side.

“The control room has nothing to do with this. The fire started in another way”

“So? Are you investigating this? Why?” He asked.

“Because it almost killed me and my wife.” I responded.

“Send me the CCTV footage from the floors. First, second and third, I need to look through them” I said.

“How's your little girl?” He asked. “That girl is bold, the type of girl that you should really marriage, not this fake marriage of yours”

“It’s a pity she will be discarded once there's no longer a need for her use” He added.

“Send the footage” I repeated and ended the call.

Ethan. The third floor.

I needed to investigate this. I needed to know if he's the one who did it.

I walked back into the room and stared at Scarlett. There was a stool to sit on, but I preferred standing here and looking at her.

A knock came on the door and I thought it was one of the doctors or nurses.

“Step in” I said and turned my head back to Scarlett.

I noticed someone walk in but from the corner of my eyes, I could see the person looked masculine and tall.

None of the nurses were that tall so I snapped my gaze to the door.

I was surprised to see Logan standing by the door. He avoided my gaze and moved over to Scarlett by standing at the other side of her bed.

My eyes trailed him and I didn't know why I stared at him that intently.

Maybe because I didn't like him being here or I wouldn't stop recalling the fact that he was the one who held her when she collapsed earlier.

“You didn't have to come here” I broke the silence first.

“And you don't have to look at me like I have stolen from you” he replied.

“I thought I made it clear to you that Scarlett and I are friends? What the hell are you so scared of?”

Losing her! That I just never told anyone yet. I didn't know when I started liking Scarlett Carrington but I didn't want to lose her.

I knew how I felt when I saw the red fire burning above her head from the third floor and wanting to fall on the second. I knew how shaken I was internally when she didn't want to jump because she was so scared.

If she didn't do it, I swear I'd blend with the fire just to get through the stairs and bring her back.

But then, the both of us won't make it.

“You are right,” I replied. “I feel insecure whenever she's around you”

“From the first day the both of you met, I could tell you liked her. I couldn't read her but I knew she also liked being around you and telling you things” I explained and it was funny how we were both standing beside her unconscious body while we talked about her.

“You like her too, don't you?” Logan smirked.

“But you just haven't told her yet,” he added.

I didn't know if I was allowed to like her. I wasn't even allowed to. Everything was planned and fake from the beginning.

We had always toyed with her life right from when she was in college. We had always set every situation up for her in a way we knew would favor us.

“Our marriage is for the public to see. Whatever you see in the media is what you need to know about us” I told him.

I wasn't ready to talk to him like he was a friend. I did that once, when we both drank but not today.

That moment, my phone pinged. I had a message from Walter.

He had sent me the footage I asked for.

While I stared at the files that contained the footage that he had sent, Logan spoke again.

“How do you know Walter?” Logan asked.

My eyes were fixed on my phone and I wasn't going to reply.

It looked like he wasn't even waiting for my reply as he spoke again.

“I know he's your godfather” he said and I looked at him surprised.

“I know you are only using Scarlett for revenge” he continued.

“And I know who started the fire.” He added.

I stared at this guy in awe. He knows a lot….. Things no one would find out about without me or Ethan telling them.
