Chaos In The Darkness; Salvatores's Salvation-Chapter 185: A knock on the door - I

Evelyn stared back at him equally hard before looking down for a second before speaking up, "I don’t wish to answer that."

They could torture her out for the information regarding her daughter but Evelyn was not going to speak a word about arabella to any of them.

Her daughter would definitely be better off with the system rather than live a life where she was going to be shielded and then married or for power.

Salvatore stared at her briefly before he scoffed. "When will you be done in underestimating my power?’

"I don’t know," Evelyn shrugged carelessly, "it took you two years to find me."

Marcello’s Eyes widened for the briefest second before he looked away.

It was quick but not big enough for Evelyn to mis. There were only two people in the room and they both were very close to each other meaning that if Evelyn looked at one person, she could still see the other one from the corner of her eye.

Salvatore chuckled before laughing heartily by throwing his head back and closing his eyes. "Oh dear," he patted his stomach. "Seattle, Boston, New Orleans and even Baltimore along with San Antonio and San Jose." Salvatore recited as if learned every single word. "After that you decided to change the country, actually continents and moved to the United Kingdom. Would you like to know the places you’ve been to?"

Her mouth remained open when he recited the names of the places that she had briefly settled in before backing up and moving again. The sequences that he had set then were correct. He had not forgotten or misplaced any of them.

"H-how?" She stammered. She had covered her tracks all the time and not only that which she had never used anything that could be remotely traced back to her.

Salvatore hummed loudly before he ended up shaking his head again as disappointed in what she asked. "Did we not decide to not underestimate me?"

Underestimating him was not the question at the moment. The question was something else and that scared her.

"But how did you know!" She shrieked at the top of her voice, stomping her feet on the ground like a little child. "How could you possibly know everything!"

All of her efforts had been washed off when she came to know that he knew exactly where she had been. Each and every City that he stated has been placed in the correct order.

Either she had been betrayed or she had been stupid enough in one place that had made him follow her almost everywhere.

"And I don’t want to tell," the words spoken in a baritone voice did not feel childish. "Seriously, I am getting tired of this conversation."

She scoffed before throwing her hands up in the air in frustration. "How could you possibly have known? I did everything possible for me to leave no traces behind!"

He chuckled, "did you?"

She nodded.

"If you would not be here." He pointed out and she gulped. That was right.

But how could he possibly have been the question.

Evelyn knew for a fact that the person who had helped her but never sell her out so the only question that remained was how did Salvatore know about it.

"I did not make a mistake Salvatore," her words were not rushed. "I know I did a good job at hiding. So how did you find me?"

"I have to agree with the statement that you did a good job of hiding yourself." He praised her right away. "However, the most important thing was to get out of the house unnoticed and that was where you failed."

What?

Her eyebrows furrowed lightly as she thought about it. So he had not caught her hiding in any of the cities but had actually found her by exiting the house.

"I wen—"

"Through the door that had least CCTV coverage," he interrupted and completed for her, "perhaps that is why you forgot to check thoroughly. The door was under his supervision."

So whatever she had been told at that time was not true. That door dir not have CCTV coverage from where someone could detect the camera. In fact it must have been hidden because even she did not see it.

Salvatore must have done it on purpose and now that the light has been shed on it, Evelyn realise how clever it had been.

Because there was no CCTV or any kind of camera watching that could be detected from the naked eye people would obviously do the shadiest things through that door.

And she had fallen in the trap.

"So you knew.." she whispered the word lightly as if the words were meant for herself and no one else to hear. "You knew all this time where I was and.."

"Yes," it was Marcello who said that. "We have been watching you for a long time. I think the best question you will be asking is why didn’t we strike."

"Why didn’t you?" The words slipped out of her mouth on instinct. That was the right question to what Marcelo had pointed out. That was the question that was running in her mind.

If he knew where she had been all this time and had been following her with the constant changes that she had made, why not attack when they have the time to?

They have the perfect opportunity to a her whenever she tries to leave a city or they have the perfect opportunity whenever she is alone at home.

Given that she has been used to change addresses pretty quickly she never bothered to cosy up to the neighbours which meant that if anything ever happened to her they would be the least concerned people.

Which meant that every time she moved to another City or just any time of the day and night they had the perfect opportunity to strike and they had it repeatedly throughout the two and half years.
