    Tears filled Claire’s eyes as she saw the malicious intent in his body language. This men weren’t kidding at all. The second armed man walked up to V and tapped his shoulder, drawing him back. “I think that’s enough talk with her now,” He glanced at Claire. “Your life is in your grandfather’s hands we don’t want to hurt you and we won’t unless we are forced to.” “Then you can let me go!” Claire cried. “ I will relay your words to my grandfather.

Marcus stared at his retracting figure with meaningful eyes. The Wades were definitely hiding something from everywhere. Meanwhile at the Hades mansion, Agnes sat down beside the window watching the birds fly and chirp together. She sighed softly. Lena walked in, bowing her head slightly she said, “Miss, your father requests your presence immediately.” Agnes’s smile faded instantly. What does her father want this time?
