Alaric's Pov

“Come after me?” Rhea repeated and then scoffed, “He should join the line then. It's not like he likes me anyway.”

Despite what was going on, I still smiled at her nonchalance. Of course Richard didn't like her. The day they met and she had called him out on what he did, Rhea might not have seen the look he had on his face as he walked out of the drawing room, but I could see it. The man was livid.

“He doesn’t need to like you, Rhea. He just needs to see you as an obstacle, or worse, a liability to me. And right now, knowing how much I value you, you’re definitely a target.” My voice was serious, cutting through the lingering lightheartedness, “You need to be alert. At every moment. And you have to take Marcus with you everywhere you go. No exceptions. Not even to the bathroom.”

She chuckled, a dismissive sound, and waved a hand, “Alaric, please. I’ll be fine. And you don’t have to tell me to take my bodyguard. I’ll do it, even without being asked. I’m not as naive as I u

    Alaric's Pov I stepped into the house, glancing at the bag that was on the chair. Rhea was back? “Rhea?” I called out, expecting her to run out and jump on me. Ever since Rhea lost her memories, she had been more affectionate and would randomly kiss my cheeks or sit on my lap. So that was what I had in mind but no one responded. “Rhea?” I called out again, looking around. The whole place was quiet. My heart kicked against my ribs. Why wasn't she answering.I walked down the hall, checking room after room. The kitchen was empty. The living room too as well as Laziel's room. Laziel barely went into his room anymore, he spent all of his time with Neveah ever since she arrived. Even her bedroom door was locked, she hadn't taken a step into her room. Panic pooled in my chest, “Rhea!” My voice rose sharper this time, carrying the edge of desperation.I forced myself to breathe, to think. If she wasn’t here, where else? Ah… There was still Neveah's room. My pulse slowed a fraction, hope

    Rhea's Pov “You were supposed to be on my side!” I repeated, my hands on my hips like a general scolding her little soldier.Neveah only giggled harder, shaking her head furiously, her hood bouncing with the floppy animal ears. Laziel, meanwhile, looked unbearably smug, lounging on the floor like he’d just won a grand victory.“Face it, Rhea.” He said with exaggerated coolness, “You’re just not as sneaky as you think.”Oh, that smug grin on his face was going to wiped away real quick! My eyes narrowed dangerously.“Is that so?” I asked softly, taking one slow step forward.Laziel’s grin faltered. Just slightly. “Uh… what are you…”He didn’t finish. In one swift motion, I lunged forward, tackling him flat onto the carpet. His yelp of surprise turned into loud, uncontrollable laughter as my fingers dug into his sides.“Wha… Wait! No! Rhea, stop!” He writhed like a fish out of water, trying to pry my hands away, but he was no match for me. I was merciless, tickling his stomach, his ribs

    Rhea's Pov Neveah tilted her head back, her cheeks rounder than I remembered, her little face glowing with life. She had grown plumper since the last time I’d seen her, a healthy fullness that made her look like a child untouched by the cruelty of the world outside.I bent down, brushing back a lock of her soft hair as I cupped her cheek gently, “You’ve gotten chubbier since the last time I saw you. And these pajamas…” I tugged playfully at one floppy ear on her hood, “They’re almost too cute. You look like a little stuffed toy.”Her cheeks flushed immediately, a rosy red blooming across her face as she ducked her head shyly, “I told big brother Laziel not to dress me like this, but he insisted.”I raised an eyebrow at the term, “Big brother?” She nodded rapidly, her little head bobbing up and down, “Big brother Laziel said he was older than me and I had to call him big brother. He's also taller than I am!” Neveah gestured widely, her covered arms flailing about. The corners of my

    Rhea's Pov Mrs. Martins, ever the gentler presence beside her husband, reached out and patted my arm with a warmth that contrasted sharply against Sloane’s icy demeanor, “You deserve that vacation, child. You’ve carried so much weight on your shoulders in such a short time. Rest while you can. We’ll keep things steady here until you return.”“Thank you, Mrs. Martins.” I dipped my head politely, appreciating her sincerity even if I knew the company was not as steady as she hoped, “I’ll be in contact. Please let me know immediately if anything unexpected arises.”With that, Fiona and I excused ourselves. I didn’t spare Mrs. Sloane another glance, though I could feel her glare burning into my back as we walked out. That was fine. Let her seethe.Once inside the car, the door shut with a soft click, sealing me in the quiet cocoon of leather seats and faint engine hum. My pleasant smile vanished, replaced with the sharp, calculating edge I kept hidden beneath the surface.“Fiona.”“Yes, M

    Rhea's Pov “So this is her? This is the child you’ve brought in to ‘change’ the company?” Her words dripped with condescension, each syllable deliberate, echoing in the quiet room, “Do you not have eyes? Can’t you see how inexperienced she is?”The air thickened instantly, tension snapping through the room like a live wire. The man shifted uneasily. The younger woman lowered her gaze, biting her lip. Even Fiona, who stood at my side, stiffened, her hand tightening around her folder.For a heartbeat, I didn’t move. I let the insult hang in the air, but then my lips curved, the faintest of smiles tugging at them as I finally turned my gaze to the stern woman. She was seasoned, sure, but compared to the two live times I've lived, she was nothing. “Inexperienced? Mrs Sloane, do you really think that of me?” Her eyes narrowed at my calm tone, clearly expecting me to snap or falter. She folded her arms, her chin tilting higher, “What else should I think? A child who’s barely seen the wor

    Rhea's Pov “They have all been arrested and currently, it doesn't look good for Howard Thorne.” Fiona murmured, handing over a tablet to me. I glanced at it, skimming over the article on the screen. It's already been four days since they were all arrested and during those two days, people had stormed the police station, asking for justice. No matter what, Howard Thorne won't be able to escape this. “This is the break I need in order to remove myself from that family. This way, if I ask Howard for anything in exchange to save his legacy, he'll agree, won't he?” I leaned forward, placing the tablet on my lap carefully. Fiona blinked, “Are you thinking of saving him?” “Saving him?” I clicked my tongue, “What on earth do you take me for, Fiona? I worked so hard to reveal what they had done, why should I save him? But I'm certain that if I offer to help Jason out of prison, he'll jump at my offer. After all, Jason is his son and like many traditional fathers, they all think tha
