Chapter 724 - From Start Again
Anne stood in front of the new tomb. Her eyes were misty at the cross-shaped headstone that had just been installed. Steffany Ganke's name was clearly written on the tombstone.
With trembling hands, Anne placed white lilies on Steffi's grave. Only three hours ago they met face to face, talking via Skype. But now Steffi was resting in her new home.
"I hope you are calm now, Steffi. Don't worry, I have forgiven all your mistakes. So you don't have to bring regrets before God. Thank you for everything, Steffi. All the information you gave me was very useful for my husband to take action against those who have evil intentions towards us. If there is another life after this, I really hope to be your friend again. Rest in peace and thank you very much for everything, Steffi."
Anne rubbed Steffi's tombstone with her last words. It was two hours ago when she couldn't find Steffi's face on the laptop screen while they were talking. Anne then ordered her men to prepare a jet so she could return to Switzerland. At least, she could attend Steffi's funeral, but because there were some things that needed to be taken care of beforehand, Anne arrived in Switzerland fifteen minutes after Steffi was buried. Luckily, Luxembourg and Switzerland were not too far away, so Anne could now stand in front of Steffi's grave.
Slowly, Anne got up from where she was kneeling and went back to stroking Steffi's tombstone.
"Say hello when you meet Grandma Catherine, Stef. See you later."
And Anne then stepped away from Steffi's grave to follow Jack to the police station. Anne knew by now that Jack had brought Leon and Edmund and Johnny on charges of cooperating to kill him. All the new evidences that Jack had had made the three people unable to do anything. Anne did not intend to meet with Leon because previously she had released all the emotions she had been holding back all this time. Anne's purpose in coming to the police station was to see how long would Jack ask for the sentences of the three men.
When Anne arrived at the police station, there were already many cars in front of the police station along with dozens of people carrying cameras packed into the main entrance of the police station, which would be very difficult to penetrate. From inside the car, Anne took a deep breath. It was frustrating.
"Calm down, Madam. We can enter the police station through another way without having to go through those paparazzi," said Gustaf, one of the Warriors who picked her up at the airport.
Anne shifted her gaze from the reporters to Gustaf. "How?"
Gustaf smiled. Instead of answering Anne's question, he unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car and turned to the other side of the car to help Anne out of the car. As soon as she got out of the car, Gustaf stretched out his left hand to give the code to the lady to walk. Anne, who actually didn't understand the code that Gustaf gave, tried to walk. In Anne's mind right now was that she would be able to see Jack, and that was all. Therefore, Anne obeyed whatever Gustaf instructed her.
It didn't take long for Anne to finally enter the police station through another door with Gustaf. Now Anne was standing behind Jack, who looked very tempting. The tight trousers on his body perfectly formed his lower body, not to mention the shirt with his sleeves rolled up. Anne could guess that by now Jack must have unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt, shit. How could Anne's mind wander in a situation like this!
After patting her hot cheeks, Anne stood up straight again, trying to get rid of her lecherous thoughts on Jack and focus on what was going on at the moment. In front of Jack, there sat Leon, Edmund, and Johnny, with their heads lowered. The three of them could not say anything when a police officer presented evidence of their crimes in front of dozens of journalists who were recording and broadcasting a live broadcast of the arrest of the three men suspected of conspiring to kill Jackson Knight. Clarke.
"They will be processed according to the laws in force in our country," said a police officer who was showing the evidence of their crime to journalists.
"Will Mr, Ganke, who is a German citizen also be punished?"
"Did the German police know about this case?"
The policeman who had spoken earlier then raised his hands in the air, asking the reporters to be quiet.
"We have contacted the German police and they have given us the right to process this matter because this crime occurred within the jurisdiction of our country, so for Mr. Ganke will be processed the same as Mr. Edmund and Mr. Johnny Immanuel who previously used the last name Muller," replied the police with a smile.
Dozens of flashes went off as soon as the police officer finished speaking. All of the reporters asked other questions which the police officer answered patiently. While Jack slowly backed away, trying to stay away from the crowd and smiled when he saw Anne standing not far from him. Without thinking, Jack then walked quickly to where Anne and Gustaf were standing, leaving Erick and Luis who were busy talking to several other policemen.
"I thought you were home." Jack asked softly to Anne who was already in his arms.
Anne smiled. "Yeah, I just got back from Steffi's new house."
"Have you visited her?"
"Of course, why else would I fly from Luxembourg to Switzerland for but to see Steffi?"
Jack chuckled in amusement. He understood what Anne was talking about. "You guys used to be really close to each other, huh?"
"Not really, it's just that Steffi was my first friend..."
"All your life?"
Anne's lips curved. "After Selma of course. That's why when I saw them betrayed me, it hurt so bad. That's why I don't want to be friends with anyone anymore."
"Linda, so what's Linda?"
Anne chuckled. "With the exception of her. Linda is more special than that."
"Including me?" Jack immediately responded to Anne's words quickly.
Instead of answering Jack's questions, Anne chose to let go of Jack's arms wrapped around her body and immediately turned around, leaving him for the door she had previously passed with Gustaf when entering the police station.
Jack's lips opened wide. He was surprised to see Anne just left him alone. Damn. After his thoughts were back in sync, Jack then stepped on his feet following his wife who had disappeared from his sight. Jack swore tonight that he would never let Anne go and make her whole body shiny with sweat under his body by repeating her name over and over again as he stabbed her body with all the love that he had as usual. Anne had recovered. She had even been allowed by the doctor to get pregnant again. Because of that, Jack didn't want to waste the opportunity he had, including getting Anne pregnant again. Four children, that's the number of children Jack wanted from Anne as a replacement for Christian's brother and the little princess who had gone to heaven.
"Once all these pests have received what they deserve, we can live in peace again, my dear. We will write all of our stories again today," Jack thought as he walked behind Anne, who was looking at butterflies dancing on flowers in the garden belonging to the police station they had just left.
