Sold? Oh Please. Chapter 67

Lenora gasped as she listened to the recording, she almost dropped her laptop. Getting up, she paced the length of her balcony. This was huge, this was really huge. What could she do with it? Call Jamie? If she called Jamie then he would act too rashly, as much as she didn't want to think this way, he was too much of a cop. Geez and here he was lecturing her about loving her job too much.
There were four main voices, two before Steve died and two after. She picked up the recorder again and played it.
***************************************************
"Put this video in this flash."
"Now put that video on repeat, delete the video of us coming in here and turn of all the cameras that will catch us and we walk back to room 1103 and get up."
"Don't be smart with me, I counted seven in total and you only turned five off."
"Are you really going to kill him?"
"It depends, will you speak of this to anyone?"
"I won't, I promise on my mother's grave I won't. Please don't kill me."
"You know Jessie Marin is alive."
"I don't, I don't, I swear."
"Even if you were telling the truth which I know you're not. I already told you so you do know she's alive."
"And that is a loose end that tying up. Goodbye sir".
**************************************************
Lenora flinched as she heard the gun shot, it was the second time but she still couldn't stop shaking.
There were three people here and the only person she could identify was the guy begging for his life, it had to be Steve.
There was a man and a woman that were responsible for this, why would Dr. Katherine Park say she was responsible then?

She played the recorder again.
***************************************************
"He has a faint heartbeat."
"No, no no don't speak you'll hurt yourself. Don't worry it'll be alright."
"No... Dr.. dr... ahhh. My pocket.... check my p-pocket. I-I... I... I'm sorry and I'm.... thankful... I g-got to d-die in.... in.... in the arms of m-m... my crush..."
"Shhh.... shhh, Shhhh...."
"T-thank you."
"Do you know what this is?"
"What does this mean?"
"What do you think it means? It's clearly a message."
"From the person that did this to Steve? Why is it my video?"
"Damn it Katherine! Are you playing dumb or are just dense!!"
"Fuck! Katherine. I told you, we warned you guys. Now look! You're clearly their next target. Do you realize the kind of danger you've put yourself in!"
"Look there, look! The only thing he did was do his job, you guys... your recklessness killed that man. Do you not realise? Look at what they did to someone, an innocent person. What the hell do you think they will do to you?"
"How the hell I'm I supposed to protect you when you throw yourself in harms way like this?!"
"I killed him, I killed Steve, I did it I should've minded my business and not gotten involved. You're right, I should've stayed away. I should've stayed away!"
"I killed him! You're right, I'm nothing, I'm just a pushover and... I should remain on the ground where I belong. I'm nothing".
"You're not nothing Katherine, you're not. You are everything, everything a person should be. You're so righteous and kind, you saw an innocent person being hurt and you went to help. You have the most beautiful heart I've ever seen in my life. Don't ever say that. And you didn't kill Steve, the Lee's did. Don't blame yourself."

"I'm so sorry, I should've listened to you. I'm so sorry, gosh I'm a horrible person, I'm selfish and horrible."
"Now Katherine I have to delete this video before the stretcher comes."
"Don't. Let them arrest me. I deserve to go to jail for this, it's justice for Steve."
"Hey look at me. You didn't kill Steve, Patricia probably did. Now look, you didn't do anything wrong. You defended you colleague there nothing wrong about that. I promise we are going to get justice for Steve, justice from the exact person that took his life. Do you understand me?"
"Hey, hey. You didn't do anything wrong. Trust me okay?"
***************************************************
Lenora furrowed her brows, she knew two people Steve Jung and Katherine Park. Based on the conversation Katherine had with the other man, they were sure the Lee's were involved. Does that mean, the woman earlier was Patricia Lee? Would make a lot of sense. One thing she was absolutely sure of was that Jessie Marin was alive and everyone who spoke in this recording were all aware.
She knew it, the 'dead actress' is truly alive.
The question is what is she going to do about this information, as sure as she wanted to be she had to be absolutely sure. If the voices belonged to Patricia Lee and Katherine Park. It would also do her a lot of good to find out who the men were.
If she told Jamie he would totally overreact and ruin everything, but she just couldn't sit on this information right? Her only lead now was finding out who stayed in room 1103.
But if she wanted to find out about the doctor she would need to involve Jamie or go through his laptop again without his knowing. Was she really brave enough to steal information from him again?
She shook her head, 'I'll start with the hospital room first, at least I have that."

Gladiator✔️
His chest glistened with water droplets dribbling down the glowing bronze skin. Resting, his strong muscular back against the rocks on the lake side, head lulled backwards, onyx eyes closed in utter salvation."Your spying on me is utterly useless young tulip." Ink eyes opened, resting upon my little frame making me freeze."What are you thinking? You have got this one chance....run away." He offered his eyes watching my each and every movement like a hawk."I am a prisoner sire, I have heard stories....tales of how war prisoners are mercilessly butchered if they are caught and I can't afford to die....not yet...I have someone to feed and I will do anything for them.""Anything?" He asked in eerily calm voice. I nodded slowly a lump forming in my throat as my eyes glistened with tears with the scenes of men using my eighteen year body flashed infront of me making me tremble.Water splashed around as he rose to his full height inside the lagoon, his eyes solely focused on me, his feet moving forward, closing our distance altogether."Azarios" I stiffened, my eyes snapping to his in utter surprise as I heard the name leaving his plump lips.His identity, the name which echoed throughout the dynasty making every living soul shudder.KillerCommanderBeastHe was the commander of Gladiators.Azarios, the Gladiator of Ambrose."You will be the bride of mine."
