Atlas's jaw tightened."Do you know who he is?""This is a police investigation, so you better stay out of this." The officer warned and Atlas was going to pull out his phone and call the Police chief when Caspian pressed his hand down. “I can't let you go with them, you're way above that.” “Way above the law or he's just being a coward?” Graycie played her stunt. “You're still talking?” Atlas was heading towards her but Caspian dashed him a cold stare."Don't."Atlas frowned. "Sir?""Don't make this worse." He said coldly. But Atlas wasn't buying this. He quickly stepped outside. “Who are you going to call? There's no need.” Graycie was already being led away. She turned her head toward Caspian.For the first time since their wedding disaster, she looked uncertain.Orion noticed it.Then he leaned closer to her as the officers moved them toward the elevators."Don't say anything."Caspian caught the whisper.

Sir Titan's office sat on the top floor of the hospital, behind a pair of tall oak doors.The portrait of Sir Titan on the wall watched over everything.Caspian had been in it exactly once before. That day, he had stood in the doorway in a wrinkled shirt and been told to wait. Now he walked straight to the great desk at the far end and lowered himself into the leather chair behind it. It was too big for him. It had been made for a man who had sat in it for forty years.Jason shut the doors, locked them and came to stand in front of the desk."Sit," Caspian said."I'll stand, sir.""Jason. Sit."Jason hesitated, then took the chair opposite, his tablet on his knee.Caspian leaned back. For a moment he looked at the ceiling, at the old chandelier and the faint crack running across the plaster, and then he began."What I'm about to tell you doesn't leave this room.""Yes, sir.""I mean it. Not a hint to your wife. Not a word to the men. Not even to Atlas.""Understood."So he told him.H

Neither of them said a word on the way up.They climbed the stairs side by side, her bare feet silent on the carpet and his shirt hanging loose from her shoulders. Neither of them spoke, they didn't even look at each other, it was as if something unseen had taken them both by the hand and was leading them down the same hallway.The door of his room opened under his palm.It was dark and cool inside, the curtains were drawn and the faint light from the corridor illuminated the floor in its golden light. Cordelia stepped in first, Caspian followed and pushed the door shut behind him.The click of the lock was very loud.She turned around slowly as the shirt slid off her shoulder. He reached out with his left hand and caught the collar, and for a moment they just stood there, close enough to hear each other breathe."Caspian," she whispered."Hmm?""If you want to stop...""I don't."Her fingers found the hem of his trousers and she tugged, while he gathered the torn silk at her waist.H

Cordelia stepped out to the balcony of the east wing and shut the glass door behind her. She took a deep breath, fixed her face into a hurting one, and dialed.It rang twice."Cordelia?" The voice on the line was deep and commanding. Even over the phone, it carried the weight of a man who sent people to prison for a living. "Why are you calling at this hour? Is everything alright?""Papa." Her voice broke at once. She was good at it. "Papa, I need your help.""What happened? Are you crying?""It's Caspian, Papa."A short silence. "Titan's grandson?""Yes." She sniffed loudly. "You know how much I love him. You know I have never looked at any other man since we were young. And that woman, Graycie, the one who left him at the altar, who slept with another man and even planned to have him killed... Papa, she betrayed him in the worst way.""I heard about the case." Garrett Newman's tone sharpened. "The police sent a report to my office this morning. Attempted murder, conspiracy, illegal
Chapter 65
Caspian slipped his phone into his pocket and walked forward like a man who had nothing to hide.His heart, however, was still running a marathon.The interrogation room was small and cold. There was a metal table in the middle, three chairs and a large monitor mounted on the wall. The Police Chief, a broad man with a grey moustache and tired eyes, took the seat facing him.His name tag read Chief Warren.Atlas came in behind him and stood near the door. Two officers stood on the sides. One of them placed a small evidence bag on the table.Inside the bag were the pieces of the handgun.“We found most of them under the hedges,” the officer said. “One part is still missing.”Chief Warren looked at Caspian. “You disassembled a loaded weapon in front of six security guards. That's not something an ordinary man does.”“Ordinary men don't get dragged out of their cars and searched in public either,” Caspian replied.A few of the officers exchanged looks.Chief Warren leaned back. “Tell me a
