His lawyer starts working on her case. 11:42 A.M. — Police Headquarters Damian walked through the entrance of the police headquarters with his lawyer beside him. His face was hard, but beneath the calm expression, his mind was in chaos. Aria had been arrested. That was all he knew. And it wasn't enough. He approached the reception desk. “I'm here for Aria Cross.” The receptionist looked up. “Sir, are you family?” “I'm her husband.” She checked the computer. “Yes. Mrs. Cross is here.” “Take me to her.” “I'm sorry, sir. You can't go directly to—” “I don't want to go directly anywhere.” Damian's voice remained controlled. “I want to know who arrested my wife and why.” The receptionist looked uncomfortable. “Please wait for the investigating officer.” Damian stared at her for a moment.

They said they want to see you.”Aria wiped her hands with a kitchen towel.“Who are they?”“I don't know, ma'am.
