When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I could see Ashton’s eyes darkened as he lifted his head and gazed out the window. “You only knew both died in a car accident, but you did not know that both happened on the same day, separately in J City and A City. The day before that, they were meeting up for a business deal. What seemed to be two unrelated accidents was actually a long-planned scheme to eliminate the scapegoats.”

On the day of the car accident, Ashton would have been in the car too, if not for George, who kept him behind. Three hours after that, Ashton’s parents got killed in a crash from J City to K City. At that same time, George brought Ashton to meet an old friend, whom Ashton later found out to be the mother of the murderer.
