Who did she think she was?! A new kind of fury slammed into him. He didn't notice how Daniel sank to the ground as he turned to Seraphina instead. She backed away from his look and that angered him more. Now she was suddenly afraid? “What? You want my hands on you instead?” He held her shoulders and swung her around, her back hitting the car. Her jade-green eyes

He couldn’t do it.He couldn’t go to the general’s.Adrian supposed the general might be understanding about all this.Still, he refused to bring this ugliness within before a man who thought highly of him. Already making calls, he sidestepped her car and sped away.Edward was waiting outside with a worried look as Adrian approached.He whitened when he saw the blood on Adrian as he stepped out.“Sir, what…?”Adrian bent to the back seat and carried Seraphina out.Her lashes fluttered open, and tension

He reduced the volume even as his gaze turned back to Seraphina’s serene face.The same Sage?He wondered as his finger hovered on the connect button.With just a click he could find out if she was playing him after all.The call disconnected and he stared at the phone a moment longer.He didn't believe in coincidence, and people in Aurion didn't casually call themselves Sage.Still, he wondered if he was just projecting. Like some part of him wanted proof that throwing herself in front of him had been planned.He raked his fingers through his hair. “Get a grip,” he muttered.

The following day dawned dreary and wet.Yet it didn't stop Adrian from what he had planned.The mason arrived bright and early with his boys.Motivated by double the asking rate Adrian had paid, they soon had the polished black slab erected.All the cemetery official needed was his name.The waiting period for confirmation was immediately waived and, before 11 am, Adrian was left alone in front of the ornate slab that bore the only picture he had of her and a bold inscription.Here Dahlia Ashford lives onHe had dismissed the cemetery staff who offered to hold an umbrella over him too.So,

“What are you doing?” he snapped.Her wraparound bandage had been changed to a smaller one at the temple, but she had a bandage on anyway.“Oh, welcome back, sir,” the housekeeper said with such relief.The two nurses hovered just behind the woman with just enough anxiety on their faces for Adrian to know they had tried and failed to stop her.“I have work,” Seraphina responded like it was the most reasonable explanation ever.“What you have is a bump the size of a goose egg. A severe concussion that means you might faint again.”She had the nerve to look annoyed as her back went ramrod straight. “It's not the size of a goose e

“Have you gone mad?” Henry shouted, his face red with fury.“That's going too far, Adrian. He's the manager,” the team lead spoke up.“I also think he did it.” Fallon's statement had eyes lashing on her.She shrugged and added, “He made it very clear that he was against the event. He wanted it to fail.”“Of course, you will back him up. We all know why,” the caricaturist mumbled.Fallon's eyes widened and her voice dropped dangerously. “What did you say?”The caricaturist immediately remembered her place.Fallon might not be from her department, but she was her sup

Adrian looked at Fallon.Fallon swallowed as her gaze went to Solana.Softly, she reported, “Solana's badge was found at the spot of sabotage.”“What?!” Solana's head spun like a top from Fallon to Adrian. “What?!”The look on his face drained the colour from hers.Her knees turned jelly, and she sank into her chair.A laugh erupted from the caricaturist. “Really? So, Miss Innocent is not so innocent after all.”The team lead looked shocked. “Solana, why would you do something like this?”“Weren't you going on and on about yo

Manager Henry stepped out of the office a few minutes past 3 pm.Half an hour later, Philip Brewster received a call.Ten minutes after that, three men arrived at his lobby and his assistant directed them in based on her boss's instructions.At 4:27 pm, a lady arrived at the lobby, her hair and clothes covered with a cloak.The rain had started drizzling outside again.She moved closer to the assistant and asked a specific question.The assistant nodded almost immediately, responding, “Mr Brewster is already waiting for you. Please, right this way.”The lady entered and the boss's cheerful greeting could be heard from the o

Solana hurried out before Adrian.She gaped when she saw policemen trying to restrain the struggling man.When he saw the lady being escorted towards them, he weakened.They instantly cuffed him.Solana looked back towards Adrian.Her finger shook briefly as she said, “Is she...? ”“Looks like it,” Adrian said casually as he tucked his hand into his pocket.The sound of an approaching car resounded and Fallon soon joined them.“Really?” She glared at the caricaturist. “I should have known you had something to do with this.”The caricaturist looked at the team lead instead, sneering, “Look what you caused. How can you just... talk anyhow?”He shouted back at her, cuffs jangling, “What talk? I didn’t say anything. They can’t pin anything on me!”“You sure about that?” Adrian asked calmly.He looked at the men behind her and one of them played a recording.“I swear I didn’t mean to take it this far. Team Lead was the one who said Adrian had to go. We just wanted to ruin the event so the

Solana seemed more shocked than any other person there.She stared at the hand she had just swung for a moment before her gaze hardened.She stepped right up to his face, her voice clipped. “You deserve that. I hope they lock you away and forget you in a rat-infested cell. You...” Her eyes glistened but she continued anyway. “You almost ruined me just because of that? Despite your dirty thoughts, Adrian had only been helpful and polite to me. It’s not his fault that you are a jelly-livered dog who couldn’t even speak his mind. I worked hard to get here!”She whirled away in agitation and turned right back to him with her fists clenched.Even Adrian almost stepped in as she approached the team lead again. The latter stepped back anxious
