She rolled her eyes with utter disdain evidence in her stance.James sat straighter, his eyes narrowed, shifting between Kane and Juliana as he feigned complete ignorance. He looked back at Juliana with the same expression. "Mrs. Juliana, have you encountered Mr. Kane here before?" He asked smoothly in practiced ignorance.Juliana poured out without even filtering her words as she had been holding her venom back because of James presence. Her voice was sharp like a witted dagger, laced with a mix of emotions that harmonize into resentment. "Kane, he's a pest," She started, her voice bitter as bile.

Badmus startled at Juliana's sudden outburst, her eyes blazing like inferno. Badmus's pupil dilated as Juliana's yelp hit him like a shock wave."Get out of my office if you have nothing reasonable to say!" She hissed on him.Badmus pinned on the spot, his expression expressing utter shock and disbelief. Juliana, the woman who had latched onto him, sucking his paycheck like a bug. Nights she would cry into his arm, saying she needs a ridiculous amount of money to crash a friend's birthday. The reality hit Badmus like a thunder bolt— he was just another pot of gold exploited by her.Badmus gulped hard his throat guggle in his ear. "Juliana...have you forgotten?" His voice rose. "Have you forgotten everything I did for you? Have you quickly forgotten I was the one who paid your rent when your landlord wanted to arrest you.

Silence fell on the room. Kane's words sounded like an incantation dragged out from the bottom of Hell. The Hall hushed, and everyone narrowed their eyes on him like he was no ordinary man but a walking Scepter.Wasn't he the same man who had been quiet all along? He'd just spoken nonchalantly like he can crumble the whole city with his finger.Badmus's grin dropped quicker than he expected. There was something about Kane he couldn't dig.... that's getting him really insane. But the baffled reaction was fleeting.His voice cut through the silence, burning with desperation as his accusations hit like a tidal wave."He's bluffing!

She sat on the bed and looked around the room for Kane but he was nowhere around. For some minutes, she sat still on the bed, surrounded by the silence. A bright smile exploded over her face as she recalled what happened between her and Kane. Her cheek burned, flushing red. She chuckled in amusement and clapped her palm over her face. “God! Dora, I can't believe what you almost did!" She chuckled again, talking to herself. She dropped her palm, staring into that emptiness, cheeks flushing, her smile still unwavering as she recalled every touch that night and the sensation that it stirred...the fire that burned inside her chest. The look in Kane's eyes when she stared into her eyes was passionate. Too passionate. Isadora let out a laugh. “Hold on...” She faked a serious expression. “...Is he in love with me?! Jezz! Could be?" She smirked in amusement, her finger
