The call was from Juan, his boss at the Capital Hall. He used a different number and not his personal one.Frowning, Oliver answered the call. “Hello, Sir?”“Oliver! Where are you?”“At home,” Oliver answered, his brows furrowing further as he heard the panic in Juan’s voice. “Why? Did something happen?”“The storage room was infiltrated, and a security guard was dead!” Juan exclaimed in terror. “I heard they took a valuable thing there. Come here quickly! The higher-ups are looking for you!”Oliver sighed. “Alright… I understand.”He ended the call. With confusion evident in his eyes, he looked at Ray.“What happened, Commander?” Ray asked in curiosity.“Someone went inside the storage room and killed the security guard there,” Oliver answered, passing on Juan’s words earlier.He added, “I assume it happened as soon as I and Samuel left the Capital Hall.”“What…” Ray trailed off, remembering the information Oliver had there yesterday. “Could it be about the drugs? Do you think they t

“Let’s end this here. I already knew what’s inside. That’s the most important thing.”That’s what Seraphine heard Oliver say inside a room that was only accessible to her—the only person authorized for the drugs hidden in the Capital hall.But Oliver being inside a restricted room wasn’t the reason for her being frozen.It’s the fact that he could see Oliver Wellington’s face, but the way he moved and talked made her realize it was a different person.A person that was familiar to her since they had been together for a long time.“Oliver… Hunt?” she muttered, her eyes and mouth widening in shock. “Could it be him?”She had her suspicions at first, but she ignored them, thinking that Oliver was just an ordinary person trying to survive.But seeing him right now doing something like this gave Seraphine a painful realization; She was deceived.Pulling her gun, he was about to approach him but stopped when a security guard entered the room and immediately scanned it.Seraphine stooped in

A realization hit Oliver as soon as he said those words.Those people were just lurking in the shadows, and if Seraphine remembered their faces, they would take her instantly.‘I need to warn her,’ Oliver thought, ready to leave the room.To his shock, a man went to the door, blocking it to prevent Oliver from exiting the janitorial department.“Melvin,” Oliver called, his brows furrowing. “What are you doing?”“You’re curious whether the robbers who stole the drugs that night were employees at the Capital hall, right?” he asked, his lips curving into a smirk.“What if I tell you that you’re in front of one of them now?”Oliver froze upon hearing those words. The betrayal felt like hot water upon his skin.“Yeah. You hear it right. I’m one of them,” said Melvin in a mocking tone. “But I’m not the one who hurt Seraphine. It was the other one—”Before Melvin could finish his sentence, Oliver slammed him to the door, his right hand gripping tightly onto Melvin’s neck.“You bastard!” Oliv

As Seraphine’s grip on the gun tightened more to the point it was making her skin red, her breathing hitched, looking at Francis in disbelief.“Francis…” she called, the confusion evident in her eyes. “This isn’t real… You’re a good person.”“A good person?” Francis asked, his tone mocking. “No one’s a good person in this world, Seraphine. Not even you.” He smirked.Seraphine couldn’t believe the words he was hearing from Francis, especially the kind of demeanor he was now showing.After her conversation with Francis earlier, she realized that Francis had told her there were two robbers—when she didn’t even mention the exact count in the first place.Confronting Francis about it was hard for Seraphine, especially since Francis is the only person who treated her decently, even after they clock out at work.“I don’t know why you did it… But you still have a chance to surrender,” Seraphine said, her tone low and gentle. “I’ll come with you, I promise.”Francis didn’t answer. Instead, he

“At first, I thought you’re just an ordinary woman in the Capital hall, but who would have thought you’re such an important person?” Zayne smirked.Frowning, Seraphine was about to ask Zayne what he was talking about when suddenly, Francis’ words echoed in her mind.‘Could it be because of that?’ Seraphine thought, remembering Francis’ statement earlier about her being Oliver’s wife. ‘What do these people want from him?’But first, she needed to confirm something.“Are you the one who asked them to steal the drugs from the Capital Hall?” Seraphine asked, seeing that Zayne and Francis were accomplices.Although the answer was already obvious, she still wanted to confirm it.“Steal? That’s a big accusation, Miss Carter,” Zayne replied, his lips curving into a smirk. “What I asked them to do isn’t steal. I’m just taking back what’s ours.”Seraphine froze as she felt like a bucket full of ice was poured at her.All along, the enemy they were looking for a long time… was already within the
