Chapter 0137

Pray.

I pray for the Moon goddess to prove my innocence. I don’t want to go back to t t e H a r m girls to start hating me again. If they do, I won’t survive it because I no longer have Tessa by my side to lean on and cry to when things get too hard. I’ll be done for if they find that necklace among my belongings.

We finally arrive at last floor where my room is situated and step out of the elevator. Ma’am Lisa leads the way to my bedroom and the victorious smile on Linda’s face makes me understand that I’m doomed.

When the search is carried out, the necklace is found among my belongings as expected.

“I told you she stole it!”

“I swear I didn’t.” Tears well up in my eyes. “I didn’t steal the necklace.”

“Linda, are you sure Ashanti stole this necklace?” Lisa asks Linda who quickly nods her head in agreement.

“Yes ma’am!”

“I didn’t!” I protest.

“Be quiet!” Lisa shuts me off. Bile rises in my stomach and I clench my fists by my side in anger.

“Both of you, come with me!” She orders and leads the way to the end of the hallway where there’s another room I have never bothered to check out.

I am terrified and confused. Linda is smiling from molar to molar. When we get to the door, Lisa creaks the door open and my mouth drops to the floor when I look in and see what the room is.

There are several computers on the walls and on the desks in the table and there are four men sitting in front of the computers watching. On the screen of each computer is footage of specific areas of the building.

That’s when i is in. We are here to watch a CCTV footage to confirm if I really stole the necklace orn

“Good evening boys.” Lisa greets the guys as we all walk into the room.

“Good evening Ma’am.” Lisa looks at Linda who now looks terrified.

“At what time did you notice your necklace was missing?” She asks Linda.

“I… I… uh…” Linda stutters nervously. I smother a smile. “Just this evening.” She replies and Lisa turns to the guys once more.

“Where’s the camera for this hallway?” She asks and one of the men points to a a nearby screen.

Lisa walks to the screen and presses a few keys on the keyboard. She keeps pressing the keys and looking closely at the screen. Everything is black and white so I can’t really make out images or understand what’s going on, but Lisa seems to understand how it works because after looking for some time, she stops and stands upright.

“I’ve seen what I needed to see. Thank you.” The guys simply bow to her and she gestures to us to follow her outside. Once in the hallway, she stops walking and looks at us.

heart has flown to the moon without me.

“Linda, for incriminating and falsely accusing Ashanti, you will be demoted to the normal H a r e m quarters. You have until midnight to transfer your stuff back into your former room at the H r m quarters.”

“No!” Linda screams.””I… it’s not a false accusation. She stole my necklace.”

“The CCTV footage shows otherwise. A few hours ago you sneaked into her bedroom with the necklace and put it there yourself! There’s evidence! And if you keep insisting, I will show it to Alpha Reagan and you know what that will entail!”

“It was not my idea!” Linda keeps screaming. Tears are flying down her cheeks like a waterfall.

“If it wasn’t your idea, whose was it then?” Lisa asks calmly. I face Linda, eagerly waiting to hear the name she’s about to call.

“It was…” she stops and hiccups. “It was…” she stops yet again and I get confused. I look at Lisa and my heart sinks when I see the meaningful glare she’s casting at Linda. The glare that’s stopping her from calling the name she wants to call. When I look back at Linda, my stomach lurches when she shakes her head and says;

“It was no one. I set her up myself. It was my idea. No one influenced me.”

I don’t believe her words. The terror on her face after Lisa shot her that glare makes me understand there’s more to this story.

Someone asked her to do it.”I can feel it!

She cries bitterly.

“Get your things ready!” Lisa says firmly and Linda cries even harder.

“What’s going on here?” A familiar voice asks from a distance. We all turn to look and my heart migrates to my throat when I see Alpha Reagan stepping out of the elevator.

oh…

This just got even more messy for Linda.

The thought of that makes me smile.

Serves her right!
