Episode 21
Is a good thing that Marina is not around, she has told Cole she wants to personally handle her traveling stuffs.
She mentioned that she was called upon for an interview concerning her traveling.
Her absence will give him time to accomplish his self given task.
Cole has asked to drive her due to her condition but she said since is just a month pregnancy there is no curse for an alarm.
Cole began working on the locks, he tried different method but it wasn’t opening.
He decided to apply force to it, breaking it was far too hard than he expected.
The noise coming from the whole process made Lizbeth to run up.
She knocked and asked from outside the door if everything was alright.
Cole told her to return to her duty that everything was fine.
Lizbeth reminded him about the grocery and many other things needed for in the house.
Cole told her that he was already working on that and will give her the money later.
Lizbeth went back to her duty, while Cole continue breaking the lock.
It was not an easy breakable lock, but he ended up unlocking it.
Cole without wasting time, opened up the place.
Things looks a little bit rough inside the wardrobe but nothing was suspecious.
He began searching for money, few boxes of clothes and jewelries was mostly what he saw.
“What sort of madness is this that Marina displayed here? Securely locking up a wardrobe that holds nothing importance. I wasted my energy and time to break the stupid lock only to be greeted with all this nonsense. No money, nothing to even hold onto… this totally insane.
Cole said outlouldly to the empty room.
Now, he has to face Marina for breaking into her wardrobe.
He has to prepare himself for her war because she won’t let it slide like that.
Just when he was about to step away something caught his eyes, there was another box hidden among other big boxes that looks out of ordinary.
Cole without wasting time, rushed to it.
He pulled it out and realised that is on password.
He began trying different things that came to his head but to no avail. It all failed.
The box was indeed expensive and special. Getting inside was the major problem for him.
He thought of using the tools he used for the locks on the box but shakes his head against it.
He doesn’t want to destroy it and later realized that there is nothing important in it.
He pulled back the box, be arranged all the things almost same way he saw it.
He angrily walked to the bed and fell face up.
He still needs to get money for Lizbeth.
An idea came to his head to go and search all Marina’s hang bag one after the other.
He quickly stood on his feet and began searching frantically.
Marina has a whole lot of designers handbag, lined up in one part of the room. Same goes with her long line of shoes.
The room couldn’t hold most of her stuffs, she put some of the things away in one of the guest rooms which she also locked up.
There is nothing important or sneaky with her locking up her things in another room because she kept the key openly on a table in the master bedroom where he sees it everyday.
The only one that suddenly appeared suspecious was the wardrobe lock and now that he has broken it he wish he never did.
Cole continued searching, he saw little cash that won’t do much in one of her outing bag and took it.
He was lucky to get hold of few thousand dollars in one of the designers bag.
Cole took all the money he gathered. It was far more than enough for Lizbeth grocery shopping.
He was happy that his whole effort was not in vain, it paid off at the end.
Cole tried as possible as he can to put everything in place although not exactly as it was but he tried.
He called Lizbeth and asked her to tidy up the room, sweep off the mess he made and put everything in place.
Lizbeth did as she was told. Cole later gave her money for the grocery and other necessary things she needed to buy.
He was a bit free after sorting Lizbeth, the next thing on his mind is to face Marina.
Marina retuned late in the night, the first thing that greeted her eyes was her wardrobe lock.
“What in hell happened here… whaaaat is going on…?
She asked while quickly opening the wardrobe and examining her things.
Cole watched her rush to the box that was passwordedThis belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
She sighed out her relief when she saw that it wasn’t tampered with.
She asked the question again, this time around facing Cole.
Cole replied her frowning.
“My money recently went missing again, that money was meant for Lizbeth. Since you’re not a thief and we are the only two people using this room so i assumed the money probably developed wings and flew into your wardrobe. Which must be the only logical reasons why you keep locking your wardrobe. Well, I needed to give Lizbeth money for groceries and since I don’t have money I decided to search in your corner probably I will get hold of something but…
