“I’m waiting, Theo. What are you doing here?" Ethan’s voice cut through the silence again, sharper this time.Theo swallowed hard, his throat dry, his mind finally catching up to the situation.He straightened slightly, his hands dropping to his sides as he forced himself to meet Ethan’s gaze.“My Lord,” he began, his voice steadier now but still laced with nervousness. "It’s not what it looks like.”Ethan’s expression didn’t change.“It’s not what it looks like?" He repeated slowly, his tone dripping with skepticism.He took another step forward, closing the distance between them. “Is that what you’re going with?”Theo opened his mouth to respond, but Ethan cut him off.“So you also consider me weak and incompetent?"Ethan scoffed. "Unbelievable."Theo’s jaw dropped, confusion flashing across his face. “What? My Lord, no—”“Didn’t I tell you earlier to leave the research to me?” Ethan continued, his voice rising slightly. “I explicitly told you I would handle this. That I didn’t nee

The night had fully descended over the city by the time Ethan arrived at Lara’s residence.He rapped his knuckles against the door three times.Inside, Lara was curled up on her sofa, a blanket wrapped around her shoulders, as she stared at the television.When the knock came, she didn’t move at first.Then it came again.With a heavy sigh, she pushed herself to her feet and walked to the entrance.She pressed the button on the video intercom panel mounted beside the door.The screen flickered to life, showing Ethan standing outside, his hands in his pockets, his expression weary."I thought as much." A knowing smirk played on her lips.Instantly, it vanished, replaced with a tightened jaw.The moment she pressed the release button, the lock clicked open.She pulled the door back, standing in the doorway with her arms crossed.“Hi,” he said immediately, his voice softer than usual.She said nothing.Just looked at him with an expression that could freeze fire.Seeing the unmistakable
