“What happened in there?” Fabio asked when he finally found Atticus. It had taken him a good ten minutes to eventually realize that Atticus hadn’t actually gone to see their prisoner.Fabio should have known that there was no way Atticus would be there, the man liked working when he had nothing stressing him out, and seeing Zane must have triggered something.There was no way Atticus was going to be able to question Rebecca in that state. Atticus had gone to the gazebo, smoking his second cigarette.When he saw Fabio, he exhaled, letting out a long string of cigarette smoke, but he hadn’t answered Fabio’s question immediately.“Atticus, I’m talking to you!” Fabio said firmly, but he knew that not even the change in tone would be able to get Atticus to talk if he didn’t want to.Fabio only wanted to know what had happened, he’d thought that they’d all moved past it years ago, but he must have been wrong, coming face-to-face with Zane again must have triggered some of Atticus’ horrible

The words hung in the air, and Teresa knew better than to try and persuade Kai into letting Catherine go with them. Her condition was already getting to that delicate state, and usually, it wouldn’t have gotten so serious so quickly, but this was Catherine’s first time. Teresa knew that being pregnant for the first time had its own way of dealing with you, but if she were to have this conversation with Catherine, she knew how stubborn Catherine would be. And while Catherine had fallen asleep during one of their researches together, Teresa couldn’t resist the urge to look into the condition of her body. She didn’t want to tell Kai yet, she didn’t want to have him worry only to later find out that it wasn’t anything serious, and so she kept it to herself. “Are you sure she’s going to listen to you?” Teresa asked as they walked, and Kai only shrugged, not knowing the right way to answer the question. “She has always wanted to be involved in this from the very moment that she heard a

Fabio heaved a sigh, he knew better than to not trust his grandson. If Kai said he was going to do something, there was a one in a million chance that he was going to do it, and nothing could ever stop him.“Since you’ve thought it through, and you’re confident, I don’t see any problem with the plan.” Fabio said with a smile, and there was no one else that seemed to have a problem with that.“Well, now that that’s settled, I think we can all go back to our rooms and prepare for tomorrow?” Atticus said, very eager to leave, and Kai could see that.He had questions that he wanted to ask Atticus, but he knew the man enough to know that he might not provide him with a response that he would find befitting.The only thing for Kai to do, even though he was also a big sure that he might not get the breakthrough he wanted there too, was to ask his grandfather.Kai nodded. “Yes, sure.” He said with a shrug, and in a blink of an eye, Atticus was gone. He hadn’t even waited for anything other th

Zarus looked from Zane to Fabio, then to Kai and then back at Zane before letting out a sigh that reverberated through the whole room.Zane’s brow furrowed as he frowned, he was stressed. He knew for sure that Fabio was right, and at the end of the day he would have to deal with the issue.He would have to deal with it right from the root, but at the same time, there was something about admitting there was a rot that doesn’t sit quite right with Zane.“Fine.” He sighed, running his fingers through his hair. “Everywhere I turn, I feel like the odds are against me. Did I commit some sort of sin?” He asked, the question was directed at Fabio who simply laughed.“Not really,” Fabio responded amidst laughter. “You don’t have to worry about anything much, I know you’re going to deal with it because thankfully, dealing with rots and turning the odds in your favor is something you seem to be exceptionally good at.”The room was quiet, the silence was almost deafening as the words of Fabio lin
