The room held its breath alongside them, everyone fully aware that only one person could change the general's mind at this point.Then, calmly, Adrian declared, “Too late.”The last thing Richard saw as he was dragged out of the door was Adrian's little wave that rhymed with his mouthed words, “I. Told. You.”“…that you will lose the most important thing to you,” Adrian completed in thought as his gaze stayed on the doorway while the echo of the Crosses' disgraceful exit faded.A slight movement to his left grabbed his attention.His lips tightened when he saw Amanda trying to sneak away.

“Vivian,” Helena tried to warn her in a hushed tone. Vivian was too pumped to hear. She refused to let that bitch and her pompous fiancé escape this time. She wagged the paper in front of Andre, failing to notice Amanda's expression. “Look at this, you quack. You think you can fool everyone just because of your big talk?” Andre looked affronted as he snatched the paper from her hand. “Young lady, this is a serious accusation, and I will not take…”

“Why's that?” Adrian simply asked.“The write-up, sir. Voldemort has the unique format of writing our reports in percentages and scientific terms only. We don't spell it out clearly in writing, just to protect our clients in case someone gets hold of their results,” Mr Wilde explained.“That's true,” one person confirmed. “It wasn't until the doctor explained what was written to me that I fully got it last time.”“Also,” Mr Wilde continued, “the seal used on this is a good replica, but there's a missing detail. I have our e-seal here on my phone.”He pulled it out and enlarged the picture. “See the curved prong at the end here? The tapered end is a smudged T. The fake was just a straight line b

“I'll need your consent for the surgery, Miss Vale.”“What?” Seraphina gaped in shock at Oscar Wilde’s grave face.He had personally taken over Geoffrey's case the moment he realised he was Adrian's father-in-law.“Why…?” She took a second to steady her shaky tone. Then continued, “Why does he need surgery? He's…healthy,” she completed weakly as she remembered how Geoffrey had fallen unconscious even before he touched the ground.A healthy man certainly didn't look that deathly pale or stay unconscious since then despite the first aid attempts on the way.Mr Wilde shook his head in response to her statement. “No, Miss. Your father has an untreated stoma

“Where?” Adrian asked curtly.Caroline shrugged in response. “They're just heading there. He'll send me the specific location soon. He reached out because I told him to call me immediately they get a lead.”“Fine, send me the…”Caroline held Adrian's arm before he walked away.“Let me do this for you, Adrian. You should stay with your fiancée.”His mind already on creative ways to destroy Scott the moment he saw him, Adrian blinked as he looked back at Seraphina.She quickly waved her hand. “No, it's fine. You can go. I'll just wait for the…well,” she ended with a shrug.

Seraphina felt Adrian's hand tighten around hers before she realised she had automatically reached for it.Dr Wilde noticed her tenseness and smiled.“The surgery went well, Miss,” he announced.“Oh.” Seraphina's breath trembled out in a whoosh of relief.She turned towards Adrian, and all she could get past her tightened throat was a repeat of, “Oh.”With an understanding smile, Adrian simply opened his arms to her.She hesitated briefly before rushing into the crook of his arms.“He's alive. He's still… here with me,” she mumbled against his chest.

“She's still pretty much out of it and banged up too, but they think she'll live," she continued. “Heading to Damatian Hospital right now. Listen, if they're connected, what if she's someone you know too, right? The police can't ID her yet. I don't hang around in Aurion enough to know many people. I was thinking maybe you might…”Adrian nodded. “Certainly. I'm on my way now.”“Cool.”The call disconnected, and Adrian turned to Seraphina. “Come, let me drop you off. I need to…”“I am coming with you,” she said evenly, her dark shades making it hard for him to see her eyes. Yet her determination was evident in her set chin. “I don't want to get tucked away while you go handle that.

His voice hung in the silence.The woman on the bed did not stir, nor did her puffy eyes open.The nurse was about to speak again when Caroline's glare shut her up.“You know her?” she asked Adrian cautiously.Seraphina stood quietly just behind him. Close enough to hear the break in his voice when he responded, “She's my… late aunt.”Caroline’s brow whipped up as their gazes held.She looked back at the prone figure on the bed.The woman's chest rose and fell gently, aided by the oxygen mask.The monitor she was hooked to stayed rhythmically steady.“She doesn't look dead.”“Apparently,” he muttered, a bit sternly.When he turned back to the nurse, she shrank back in automatic defence.Adrian looked like he was about to snap someone's neck, yet his stomach twisted so violently he could barely breathe.“How soon before she wakes?” he asked the nurse.“I don't know for sure. The doctor…”“Get the doctor here,” Caroline said tersely.The nurse immediately bobbed her head and bolted from

Gunters Divisional Police Station descended into tense silence as the Jenkinses arrived.The D.P.O. was waiting outside to welcome them.Standing at attention behind him were officers according to their ranks.“Young master, we are glad to have you at our station. " The lanky man bowed in greeting. “It's an honour, Chief of Staff. Miss Vale.”Each address was accompanied by a slight bow.Adrian had no issue with the man, but he disliked the extra drama.“Thanks,” he said as he shook the man's hand. “But this is not necessary. I just need to verify something, and I'll be out of here.”The man looked at the ferocious-looking soldiers right behind the Jenkins.He swallowed subtly, thinking, “Far be it from me that the mighty family be offended in my jurisdiction.”“Understood, young master. I am Dexter Rohan. Everything in my station is yours to command.”“Welcome to Gunters, young master." All the officers behind him dropped into a deep bow.As Adrian's mouth tightened imperceptibly, Ca

Scott's gaze jerked away from her.He looked back at Adrian with false bravado.“Playing the hero, uh huh?! Nothing you can do to me that's worse than what you already did, you bastard!” The cuffs rattled against the table as he lunged across it. He hissed in frustration as the cuffs cut him short. “You got me here in the first place!”Caroline moved so fast that Scott didn't have the chance to blink.Hard hands clamped on his shoulders and slammed his back hard against the chair.She wrinkled her nose in disgust as she leaned to the level of his bulging eyes.“You think Adrian is mean? Say hello to meaner.” The deadliness of her tone was made w
