“What just happened?” he whispered in bewilderment.Today was supposed to be the beginning of the end for that arrogant bastard.
How come Henry got demoted instead?

Then he quickly hurried towards Adrian. “Yes, he is, sir.”“It's just that our bodies repair more slowly as we age. His took a hit, sir, but with proper nourishment, his medication and enough rest, he will be back in top shape in no time.”Adrian wanted to believe that. He really wanted to.Still, dread only sank heavier into his chest, especially when Hex Lancaster's untimely demise chose that moment to pop into his mind.His hand clamped on the doctor's shoulder. “You don't want to lie to me, Doc,” he said gravely.Dr Trent swallowed hard as he responded, “I... I wouldn't dare, sir.”“Good.” Adrian nodded. He toss

Get home immediately. Someone put a hit on your fiancée.Adrian was in the middle of a meeting when he received the message.Something close to panic slammed into his chest at the thought of Seraphina in danger.He had to dismiss the brainstorming session the team was having.On his way out, he saw Fallon in the hallway.She was having a discussion with someone, but she waved cheerily at him.Remembering how close she was to Seraphina, Adrian almost told her.“Better to know the extent of the attack first,” he decided on second thought.He made a call to Caroline as soon as he merged with the traffic.“She’s stabilised, but still unconscious,” Caroline responded briskly. Then her voice caught as she continued, “Adrian, when I saw her, I swear I thought…” She cleared her throat awkwardly. “Well, you will see her soon. Are you on your way?”“Yes.”Adrian's hand tightened on the wheel as the call disconnected.Caroline wasn't an overly emotional woman.She's what many would call a tough

A loud megaphone command ripped through the tense air even before two patrol cars rounded the corner.Caroline's relief didn't show in the stern glare she kept trained on the lady.“Drop the weapon!” came the command as doors slammed and police officers ducked while aiming their weapons.“Drop the gun now!”They were not running.Caroline was confused for a moment. The assailants were not running.They only stood in place as if they expected the police to pat them on the back.When Caroline's gun hand wavered, they simply moved closer to the car.“Stay back, I say!” she snapped.“Miss, don't force our hand. Drop that gun now,” the command came again.“Do your job and get them away from the car now! There's someone injured inside! They're delaying her treatment.” she retorted.She heard an officer making a call even as the lady before her shouted, “Don't listen to her, officer. She did

“They are back. Damn it,” was Caroline's first thought as she raised her head and saw a black-clad man on the other side where Seraphina's leg dangled.The person who spoke was at the right door at Caroline’s.Focused on Seraphina, she had not noticed their silent movement.Even before the fleeting thought of protecting Seraphina at all costs settled in her mind, Caroline could see another person through her side view, standing in front of the car.She stealthily turned her head.Are there more? Could...?She didn't move fast enough for the person behind her.The latter roughly dragged her out with her jacket.<

Already picturing Adrian's face when he found out, Caroline chuckled to herself as she drove up the industrial neighbourhood.It had been so long since she had gone anywhere without an escort.The joy of being away from duty for even a few days gave her such a thrill that she let her car window down.“I will not feel guilty about it. I deserve a break,” she reminded herself firmly.She cranked up the music player, humming along to “Get Up” by Tatian.She couldn't remember the last time she took leave.She had such a backlog of leave that if she decided to call it all in, she would probably have over twelve months altogether.She knew she wouldn't, though.Some might call it pride, but Caroline was almost certain the presidency office would get turned upside down if its chief of staff was out of commission for more than a few days.She still hated the reason behind her leaving this time, but she had decided to trust another for once.“Give him until after the engagement, at least,” she

By midday, Seraphina was driving out of GLENCo.Her meeting for the equipment logistics was by 2pm.She had no intention of messing things up by showing up late.She checked her watch. 12:54pm.Even if there was traffic, she would still…Her hand froze. Her ring finger was empty.“My…where?” Relief sluiced through her as she remembered she had removed it when she wanted to help with inventory earlier.She quickly parked.It's a good thing she had not gone far.Seraphina knew her new hotcake status was tied largely
