99 Days Trapped in the Body of the Royal Prince’s Wife - Chapter 63

Clara is walking towards the balcony terrace when a call comes in from Fabrizio. She had to hide because she didn’t want to watch knowing that she was doing a secret investigation.

“Hello, Fabrizio. How’s the result?” asked Clara when she connected with the man she trusted.

“Ma’am, it’s been proven that the brakes of the car were deliberately cut so that they don’t work or fail,” Fabrizio answered, sounding serious.

Clara is silent and covers her mouth with her left hand, while her right-hand holds the phone to her right ear. “Accidentally cut? that means someone wants the accident to happen… Anyone wants me dead?”

“It seems so, ma’am.”

“But who did that … Surely the car’s brake cable was cut while the car was still parked in the yard or garage? and we can know just by looking at the CCTV footage there?” Clara asked with a feeling that was not at all calm, did not expect that behind the feeling of living comfortably without enemies, there were people who wanted her dead.

“If we can look at the CCTV footage, it will further strengthen the evidence and make it clear who did the cutting. but that is not possible because we are conducting this investigation secretly, or maybe we can do that when we have taken legal action to accuse the suspect,” explained Fabrizio straightforwardly.

“Is there another way to find out who the perpetrator is without having to take legal action first? I want us to know who the perpetrator is, don’t immediately arrest him because of the strong evidence, without just accusing him!”

“Because the police have given false information, then a man named Oskar who is Casey’s cousin closed the case, I suspect they are working together and they are also the suspect for cutting the brakes. Or maybe at first, a man named Oskar was the suspect for the brake cutter, then he asked the police to provide false information so that he could close the case without anyone knowing that the real cause of the car crash was a failed brake,” explained Fabrizio.

For a moment Clara was silent with a blank stare, she didn’t think that the person Fabrizio suspected was Oskar.

“Why did they do all this to me?” She asked reflexively.

“To you? What do you mean?” Fabrizio sounded surprised.

Clara snapped out of her thoughts, realizing that Fabrizio had no idea who she was. “I mean why did he have the heart to Casey when he is someone close to her. Why would he have the heart to do something like this and What is the reason … I am amazed and find it hard to believe this fact.”

“Sometimes the people closest to us are not as good as we think, ma’am. After all, why is the policeman giving a false explanation when he has nothing to do with Casey or Oskar? It makes sense if Oskar did ask him to give false testimony … because Oskar didn’t want to be a suspect… He didn’t want to be caught, he didn’t want a CCTV check at her house or a search… So he asked the police to state that the accident occurred because of the driver’s negligence.”

Clara took a deep breath, then leaned her back against the wall while looking up at the night sky that was so bright with the moonlight shining alone tonight. She didn’t feel her tears just falling, remembering every moment since childhood with Oskar which was supposed to have caused her harm.

“Now I have to collect other evidence so I can arrest the policeman and Oskar as well…I will arrange everything very neatly, so they can be immediately dragged to prison,” said Fabrizio.

“Please tell about the results of the investigation to my husband’s confidant, but keep it a secret,” Clara cried, wiping her tears roughly. “You have to be careful because it’s possible that the police and Oskar won’t stay silent. I’m afraid he’s plotting to prevent you, whatever my husband’s confidant, from investigating this with the rest of the police team.”

“Very well, ma’am…I will finish everything soon because after this I will focus on Paulina’s case.”

“Honey …”

Immediately Clara looked back and disconnected the phone because someone called her. she saw Nathan walking up to her, looking fresher in light brown pajamas and combing his hair neatly.

“Why are you here?” asked Nathan.

“Eh…I’m just looking for some fresh air,” Clara put her phone into the pocket of the cream-colored robe she was wearing. She immediately greeted Nathan by touching his broad chest and then kissing his cheek with a little tiptoe because her husband is taller than her.

“I am hungry.”

“Then let’s have dinner now, maybe Frederica hasn’t eaten either,” said Clara, slightly moving her body away from Nathan.

Nathan sighed, moved closer to the guardrail, and leaned his body against it. he looked down at the atmosphere of the courtyard which was always guarded by the bodyguard, then again thinking about the existing problems.

“Please ask Mercy to bring the food here, because I don’t want to eat with Patricia…I don’t want to leave the room because I’m lazy to see her face that always appears in front of me,” Nathan said with a flat look.

“But didn’t you say Frederica would return to your family’s mansion tonight? Don’t you want to say goodbye to her? Isn’t it okay to meet Patricia because after this she will also follow Frederica back to your family’s mansion?” Clara wondered while looking at Nathan who had his back to her.

“She’ll be home tomorrow morning,” Nathan answered without looking back.

“Okay… I’ll get some food for you now,” Clara said, not wanting to go against Nathan’s decision anymore. She immediately walked into the main room than out and walked down the stairs to the ground floor.

‘While Frederica is still here, I have to manage to get some of her hair to hand it over to the lab to match her DNA with Nathan’s,’ Clara thought when she saw Frederica sitting on the couch in the living room.

“Mama,” Frederica called, immediately jogged over to Clara.

“Hi, honey,” Clara greeted with a smile. She crouched down, aligning herself with the still very short Frederica.

“Do you want to eat, mom?” Frederica asked.

“Yeah, but mommy will eat in the room with daddy. Mommy will get food now,” Clara explained then stood back up.

“I’m coming, I want to eat with you!”

“Then you will come to our room. Mommy will get some food first,” Clara said calmly, walking towards the dining room.

Elsewhere, Michael had just come out of his office building. The man, who was wearing black basic pants combined with a white shirt and carrying his coat entered the car, then sat in the driver’s seat and stared ahead blankly.

‘Usually, we will meet after each other over time. Then I’ll take you to the apartment, we have fun there,’ Michael thought again thinking about his relationship with Casey.

“I’d better go to her house..who knows she shows changes or even wakes up but no one can tell me, because my phone is broken,” said Michael, then immediately drove his car to get out of the office area which was already very quiet.
