Adrian’s temper nearly snapped when he saw that slap.

He had driven himself to this pretentious dinner, pushing the Maserati far beyond Aurion’s speed limit just to bleed off the fury clawing through him all day.

Please, right this way.”The lady entered and the boss's cheerful greeting could be heard from the o

    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

    “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.

    “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

    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,

    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.
