Neat and respectable, but nothing special.Edward left earlier to get things ready, so Adrian arrived at Echelon Interactive alone.

“You okay?” Adrian casually asked the paramedic, his gaze still pinned on the man trying to get up.“I'm...”“Do you see that? Everyone saw that! That's assault! I can press charges. Officer, do your damn job and arrest him!”A tow truck rumbled close as the police looked from Adrian to the man in consideration.“I... I can press charges too, right? He just assaulted me too,” the paramedic spoke up.“What? No, that's insane. I'm just telling you to do your damn job! Just like this idiot cop who has no...”A vein ticked in the policeman's chin.“You are pressing charges,

Whoomp!The airbag exploded from the steering wheel in a blur of white, cushioning Adrian's violent lurch forward.His ears rang as crashing sounds and shouts reached him as if from a great distance.Then, a knock at the door.“Mister? Mister, are you alright?”His ears were still being assaulted by that tinny sound, but he heard that alright.“Not dead yet,” he thought as he gritted his teeth against the burn of the seat belt when he tried to move.He turned his head sideways and saw curious eyes peering in.It took him a moment to realise the jerky motion the man w

“Can't believe you had something to do with the poisoning, you stronzo!”“What?!”“What poisoning?”The staff around them whispered in shock as they gave Niall the stinky eye.Everyone here was supposed to be family.Something as despicable as poisoning was unforgivable.Niall blanched. “Sir, I swear it's not what you think. I…”Realising how easily things could get out of hand with the staff whispering and guessing,“That's enough!” Adrian snapped just as Octavio wanted to hit Niall again.

Adrian's hand froze on the new fork he was about to pick from the centre.The fork clattered back into the holder.Without looking at the general, Adrian said, “That’s irrelevant. It's only logical that Seraphina and I part ways. Days. Mere days after we announced the engagement, she was targeted. She said he asked for the ring. She was almost strangled to death because of a damn ring!”He turned sideways again as he tried to level his heaving breath.Even Adrian couldn't understand why he was being affected like this.Theirs was just a convenient arrangement.But seeing those ugly marks on her flawless skin.Knowing

“Gramps, tell him he's acting foolish.”“You're acting foolish,” General Charles said so fast that Caroline narrowed her eyes at him.They were currently at dinner.Despite all efforts, Caroline had not been able to get much out of Adrian about the stunt he pulled with Seraphina.Admittedly, the latest info he gave her about Gramps' poisoning had distracted her for a while.Then she had realised that was his intention and called him out on it.But he had gone off with a perfectly timed phone call anyway.She hadn't been able to corner him since then.And she was sure he hadn't checked on Seraphina again since then.That…ugh!Caroline had always thought the elite young misses were spineless ninnies, obsessed with making the right marriage match and disguising their lack of backbone with polish and shine. With Seraphina, she realised she might have been wrong all along.Or the lady was just the rarest cut of the mould.Caroline had not got a thing out of her.Not even a complaint.Just

Jade-green eyes opened drowsily.“With my own scarf,” she rasped. “He wanted the ring. He didn't give me a chance to refuse.”Fury roiled in Adrian even as his gaze went to her finger.He was right, after all. This was because of him.He gave her that ring. He got her into this.When she saw the direction of his gaze, she raised her hand and wiggled the ringless finger.“I guess he got it. Though, I don't think I had it on in the first place.” Her voice dropped lower as she drawled, “It's all very fuzzy right now. Something keeps telling me I'm supposed to know him. I...”Her gaze went to
