Chapter 18 - Searching
"… What marriage document?" Redwick asked not understanding what he's young master meant.
"You know… the one little document, the thing that caused this whole trouble." I said as I pointed around us.
"Umm… Can you be more specific?"
"You know the marriage contract father had the drunk earl sign so that Samantha here and I would get married… Forcefully." I said as Redwick finally understood it.
"Oh! That contract… unfortunately, The master didn't tell me where he put it."
"Not even you?"
"No, I'm sorry."
"How about you?" I asked Anna but she shook her head.
"I didn't even know something like that existed."
Fuck! This is a setback.
"Do we really need to destroy that thing?"
"Yes, we do." Samantha nodded heavily, "Otherwise father wouldn't believe me."
I gave a sigh, "Alright then… we look for it."
Hearing me, Redwick and Anna started looking for it. But I had a feeling as I saw them
Questions upon questions filled my head but I cooled them down for the time and searched for the paper. Papers upon papers went away and I still didn't find it.
Finally I looked at the two scrolls that I haven't looked at yet.
Opening the first one, my eyes glimmered in happiness. 'Found it!'
'So if this is the marriage contract then what is this? Might just be another illegal deal related.'
I open the second scroll and my eyes widened in fear and quickly close it then put it inside the safe and lock it.
'Holy Fuck! I can't take this shit right now.'
'Let's just take care of the matter at hand first.'
I wipe my sweat and take a few breathes before opening the door and showing it.
"I think this is it."
Samantha looked at the paper and she smiled, "Yes… YES! This is the one. Thank you for helping me."
"No worries, I was helping myself too." I said, "So now that we got the document, what do we do?"
"We burn it." She said and somehow magically the piece of paper caught on fire as I look at the paper turning to ash and falling down.
"So what are you going to do now?"
"Now… I think I will go home and have a long talk with my father." Samantha said while crushing the ash in her hands.
