Chapter Twenty-Seven: Password

We sat down waiting for detective Patrick to finish interrogating my father..

How could my father be suspected of murdering my cousin? How?

Detective Patrick walked out and closed the door behind him "For what reason are you charging my father of murdering my cousin?" I screamed at him

"Come with me miss Chanel, Mrs Antoine you too please," he said walking to his office as we walked behind him

We got inside the office with Xander waiting outside as the detective closed the door and walked to his desk sitting down.

"Why did you arrest Antoine?" My mom asked

"Well ma'am.. he's our first suspect in Irene's murder"

"Why?" I asked, "Why would he kill Irene?"

"Because she was pregnant from him."

"What?" I blinked surprised and not believing what I heard

I looked at my mom as she slowly put her hands together and intertwined her fingers, gulping extremely loud and sitting back in the chair

"I've always known.. I've always known he was having an affair with her.. I felt it.." she said softly

"That's not possible, Mom. Irene is my cousin. What are you saying?"

"Miss Chanel" the detective called "The reports came back saying that your father is the father of the child."

"Why would my father text me from her phone? Why didn't he just throw it? Why would he talk to me about Dane? Where is Irene's phone?" I shouted, standing up "Do you have any evidence to hold my father here? You don't. I might have lost half my brain but I know my father couldn't kill an ant. So unless you have something to hold my father with, he's walking anyway." I said out of nowhere.. at this point, I didn't care how I know all this information, all I cared about is how to get my father out of here and surprisingly.. I knew how.

I stormed out the office to Xander who stood up when he saw me.

"What happened?" he asked

"I think I just got my father out of here.."

"Wait, what? How?"

"I don't know.."

I was sleeping on Xander's shoulder when I opened my eyes to an officer saying that my father is leaving in a few minutes because they didn't press charges against him.

We walked into the house exhausted and tired.. As soon as we walked in my mom was in her room.

"Irene, Dad?" I looked at him

"Not now Chanel" he answered

"You don't get to say when!" I yelled in disbelief "Irene, Dad? She's my cousin! A Young girl! My age! You cheated on my mother with my cousin!"

"She allowed it"

"Allowed it? She's young and stupid! Where the fuck did your brain go?"

"Language, Chanel"

"You don't get to tell me how to talk" I yelled and walked upstairs slamming the door behind me

I sat down slowly on the bed, my hands shaking, my head aching and my eyes stinging..

My heart clenched as i imagined my father being with my cousin like he was with my mom.. My cousin..

Leo

I stepped out of my father's car in my destination, his men following me. I walked to the door, rang the bell and waited.

The door opened revealing a guy. My age, brown hair, brown eyes, built well.. no wonder why she dated him.

"Um... Who are you looking for?" He asked

"My name is Leon Raulf and I'm looking for Dane Ellis"

Chanel

My phone rang continuously as I layed down on the bed. I didn't feel like I wanted to talk to anyone.
I felt like I needed silence. I needed to know what I'm going to do.
Xander and Dane's portrait.
My dad sleeping with Irene.
Someone killed her.
Someone wants me dead..
What is this life that I am living in..
I don't even have a reason to go to my therapist. I don't think I want to remember anything.
The unknown is way better than what I could ever know..

'Three little birds sitting on the tree
First one fell down and broke his knee
Third one fell but flew with glee' Irene sang.

'Second one screamed as loud as a banshee
When they managed to find each other they flew together and found a diary
They carried it together and hid it in the deep blue sea' I sang

'They were scared that it would fall in the hands of the meany' she sang back

I remember me and Irene used to sing this at all times.. It meant so much to both of us.. However, I don't remember how or why we created it.

I sat up and put my face in my hand remembering how we never left each other's side.. how she's the only person I remember after I woke up.

'Hey Irene' i called

'Yeah, babe?' She answered

'What's your password?' I said tapping on her mobile screen

'Come on, Chanel.." she said 'It's our password, I didn't change it 3132'

I gasped and blinked quickly "3132?" My eyes looked around then landed on the closet.
I ran to the closet and opened it getting what I hope this number opens up

I slowly put the numbers in then pressed the hashtag and waited till I heard the click and the safe door slide open.

I slowly opened it wider finding loads of money and some sort of notebook and a ring.

I took the ring and looked at it "You look familiar" I whispered.

I held the notebook in my hand and opened the first page that read "Chanel's Diary"

My diary.. Oh my God

I opened the last page to see the date which was written 5 months ago.

I sat on the floor thinking.. If the month I woke up was July and I stayed in coma for 2 months; May.. We're in September..

The month of the accident..

'Irene is forcing me to go to Joel's party. UGH, I don't want to. Plus I might meet him there and I can't look him in the eye after everything that happened.. I can't'

I heard knocks on the door as I was reading. I hurriedly closed the safe and put it back into the closet. I got up and his my notebook under the bed and opened the door.

"Hey.." Mia smiled

I pulled her into the room and closed the door

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I yelled, "What are you?"

"Wow wow.. Chill" she said

"Chill? All this shit is happening and you tell me to chill? What do you know, Mia?"

"I know a lot, but all you need to know for now is that Joel is up and you need to go talk to him before anything happens to him"

"What do you mean before anything happens to him?"

"You know exactly what i mean.."

Leo

After hearing everything Dane said.. I had to go find Chanel.
With my father's bodyguards and helpers, we went to Chanel's house finding only her parents.
Her mother insisted on me coming in and sitting with her.

"Where have you been Leo?" She asked

"This is a really long story Paulina... But I was with my father"

"Chanel needed you.." She said looking down

"I know.. I'm sorry.. But I'm here now"

"Her father was accused of killing Irene.."

"What? Why?"

"He.." she said intertwining her fingers together nervously "He got her pregnant.."

"What.."

"Yeah.." she sighed "I've always known he was cheating on me.. with her.. that's why I never liked her.."

"Did you?" I asked

"Did I what?"

"Kill her.."

"No, Leo. I wish I did but I can't.."

"Can I ask you something, Paulina?"

"Of course.."

"How did Chanel know Xander?"

"I have no idea. Suddenly he became a part of the family.." she shrugged "I didn't like him at first he was giving me weird vibes.. But when I knew him more.. I saw how much he loved Chanel.."

"She used to draw portraits of him all the time.."

"Chanel draws?"

"Yeah.. Everything.. She was an art student.."

"Where are her drawings?"

"In the gallery, she wanted to make.. right before the accident.."

"Can I have the address?"

"Of course.. but what are you going to do?"

"I think I know who's behind everything that's been happening."
