last update Date de publication: 2026-03-25 20:11:06

The three of us were standing in a triangle and the space between us felt very small.

The sponsor had already quietly removed himself, which I was grateful for, because the tension coming off both Adrian and Dominic was enough to manage without adding a third person to it.

Around us the party continued, conversations flowing, glasses clinking, the easy noise of a professional dinner that had nothing to do with what was happening in this particular corner of the room.

I looked at Adrian first,

    He kept his gaze on the ground, saying nothing despite the urges of Elena and quiet threats of Adrian. Adrian punched the walls to tame the anger burning in his mind. I could only hope Alex understood the kind of injury I was saving him from. I wasn't even sitting across from him. I stood, and then crouched before him, gently raising his head and repeating the question. I heard the way Elena sighed at intervals, keeping her emotions in check so the situation wouldn't become more twisted. An answer was all we needed from him. Perhaps he didn't know what would be the aftermath of his refusal to give an answer, or maybe he was just ready for anything that came his way. The expression on his face looked even calmer than mine was. It was like though he had the ability to send telepathic messages to his backup team to rescue him. That was the kind of calmness that was all over his face. “Give a damn answer. We've been waiting for a long period of time!” Adrian couldn't hold back anymore

    The smartness and agility of my men has saved the day. I didn't expect to watch such beautiful scene unfold before my very eyes. Alex was firmly held and cuffed as they took him out of the restaurant. The weight was gently being lifted off my shoulders. What mattered more to me was the way they did it cleanly. No one in the restaurant suspected that something unusual was going on, and that was a big advantage. I signaled to Adrian and Marcus who stood at the far ends of the restaurant. It was now time to leave the premises of the restaurant and head out with the brave team members who seized Alex. They'd been informed of the exact private room where Alex should be locked up for an interrogation. What would become of him after the interrogation would depend on the way he responded. Adrian and Marcus quietly came out of their hiding spots, and together with Elena, we decided to leave the restaurant to get the next plan on the list started. I had to lead the way to the private room.

    No one said a word. But the reigning silence was louder than any noise ever made. Alex could feel the tension rising in his bowels. His hands were trembling slightly but he managed to keep them under the table. He wouldn't want to reveal his fears to his opponent. Elena, on the other hand, was a bit calmer than usual. She knew the situation was now in her control because Dominic was now involved. The same person who vowed to keep her safe was now inside the same room with the alleged mastermind. Alex spared Dominic a glance before shifting his attention to Elena again. He was totally speechless. Not that there was actually nothing to say, but he couldn't tell if those were the right words. If he could say anything to Dominic right now, he would talk about how his presence was making him crumble inwardly, and how he badly wanted him to walk away so he could be in full control of Elena's mood and reactions. The silence helped him revise the decisions he made to bring Elena to a dinn

    “Are you sure you're fine?” Alex asked. He's been watching Elena for a long period of time. He noticed when her mood shifted, and her reaction to everything he said. Even though there were several guesses on his mind, he still needed to be sure if she was fine or she needs medical attention. “I'm very fine.” Elena said, as she continued to eat. “Do I not look fine?” She had to ask, considering the way Alex gazed at her. She was wondering what could be running through his mind, and she knew he wouldn't reveal it to her. She was ready to let go of every emotional burden that trapped her mind in a state of fear. She knew there were enough people sticking around to make sure she was fine. And even though her response earlier about moving outside to a quieter place, was laced with tension, she had the right answer on her mind now. Alex hadn't forgotten about the question he asked, and he was genuinely expecting a response, but he didn't want to apply pressure on her. He didn't want her

    Anyone would answer my questions with a normal expression, and maybe even with a soft smile too, except Elena.She was trying too hard to fit into that category, but I could obviously tell how difficult it was for her. The smile across her chin looked forced, like she was trying so hard to keep her emotions concealed.Didn't she feel safe enough to be on a date with me? Didn't she agree to this? Why was she trying to kill the mood with her suspicious gestures?I was the one who invited her on the date. That automatically made me the one who had to put her in the mood each time she drifted out of it. Elena was a very active person, and if she looked this down, then something must be seriously wrong.Her mind must be troubled by something in particular. I could guess, but I couldn't fully tell if my guesses were true unless she revealed what was going on in her mind.Even though the questions I recently asked her sounded random, I needed to ensure I was being emotionally available for h

    “Do you want to check the menu?”“We've had enough already.” I heaved a deep sigh as I relaxed on the chair. “I'm full. You can order more if you'd like to.”“Your satisfaction is my goal,” Alex said, offering a soft smile. “Don't be timid. You can whisper to me if you'd like to order more.”Inside the premises of the restaurant, everything was going smoothly. Alex's voice was calm and composed, and so was mine, but my mind was the direct opposite.Since I arrived for this date, no one had signaled any update to me. The plan to seize Alex must still be ongoing. Perhaps they hadn't found the right and perfect way to go about it.If only they knew the amount of energy it took me every minute to keep my expressions neutral and composed at the same time, they would act faster. I couldn't tell if the men who had just moved in were for us or against us, but I knew they were here for a mission, judging by how suspicious they looked.The way Alex stared at me after every statement made my hea

    I was at the hospital by seven thirty.Not because my shift started that early. It started at nine. But the apartment had felt too small that morning and Maya had still been asleep and I had not wanted to sit at the kitchen table with my thoughts for another hour and a half, so I had dressed quiet

    The drive back was quiet.Not the comfortable kind of quiet that sometimes settled between Elena and me after a long evening. This was the kind that had weight to it. She was sitting in the passenger seat with her face turned toward the window and her bag in her lap and her hands folded over it,

    The ward was busy that morning.It usually was by half past nine, the corridors filling up with the particular organized chaos of a hospital in full swing. Nurses moving between rooms, junior doctors consulting in low voices over clipboards, the steady background noise of monitors and trolleys and

    The dinner was at the Meridian, which meant the usual crowd.Old money and new money in the same room, pretending they had always been comfortable with each other. Hospital directors and research heads sitting alongside the kind of businessmen who wrote cheques large enough to put their names on b
