¨Do I really have to be here?¨ Cynthia asked in a small voice as she tried getting herself up but Drake rushed and helped her set her back against the headboard. Her eyes drifted to the rest of the room,

¨Why are you all here?¨ She asked again but no one answered her question. She was currently inside the most exclusive hospital room at Denver People's Hospital which was actually owned by the Larson family,

¨and why am I in a different room?¨ Her eyes scanned the men again but they all seemed to be hesitating to speak. She turned to Drake and Jeffery squeezed the report in his hands.

¨Drake¨, His name sounded so natural in her mouth.

¨ What is going on?¨ She asked and he sighed,

¨nothing, just that we are all worried for you¨, he said and sat beside her on the bed. Cynthia felt overwhelmed. In all her life, she never met anyone who genuinely cared, well except Jodie and Valerie.

Valerie,

her mind went back to the photo that had landed her into the hospital. She hated herself fo

    ¨What do I mean?¨ Cynthia retorted and Drake felt his heart shatter more at her aloof and cold speech, it was like they had gone back to the days when he wanted her for revenge. ¨I-¨ he started but his tongue got caught in his throat and couldn't go on. Cynthia shook her head indifferently and walked away. Drake's gaze followed her slowly. If he could rush up to her and tell her he loved her more than she could ever imagine, she would not believe him right now, he turned his gaze and was about to leave the lounge when he spotted Sebastian not far away, standing there with a hard face. Anger sprung through his veins and he immediately, like a gust of wind, rushed to his side and landed a punch straight onto his face. Sebastian staggered backwards and held his nose that had been on recovery, He looked at Drake and smiled wickedly, his lips covered in blood from his nose, ¨I love to see you worked up, but am not the cause¨. Sebastain said cautiously and Drake resisted sending him an

    Cynthia was stunned when Sebastian took her by her arms and pulled her into himself in a tight hug. She remained rigid for a while and didn't return the hug, but she was surprised she was not repulsed by him at all. Then it dawned on her that she had never been repulsed by him. The hug went on for a little longer than it was supposed to and Cynthia, who had regained her senses, was about to push Sebastian off when she noticed something wet on her back. Was he crying? She became puzzled, for the first time in her life, she felt bad for how she had treated someone else. She blinked multiple times to get her emotions in check then slowly pushed Sebastian off. Coming face to face, she could see the trace of the tear, and his eyes were red, her brows furrowed. ¨Did I hurt you by calling you an asshole?¨ She asked softly in an apologetic tone, wondering how this tough looking man with a deadly aura had the guts to shed a tear in her presence and Sebastian said nothing but instead watched

    Bernice retreated till she hit her back against the rails then stopped and trembled. However, Drake continued to step closer until there was only an inch's distance between the two, he looked at her like a wild beast that had just landed on its prey. ¨Mr W..Wilson p..p..please, spare me¨, she whispered, her back pressed hard on the rails. Drake looked on, he had only one goal, she had to jump. ¨She didn't ask you to spare her¨, he mumbled, studying her like he wanted to remember her living appearance before he devoured her. Bernice bowed her head in surrender, ¨I was mad¨, she whispered incoherently. ¨I..¨ she lifted her head, ¨I was hurt¨, she added and Drake smiled eerily, giving Bernice the impression that whatever she said would not matter to him. He took a small step closer and Bernice subconsciously stepped on the first horizontal iron rod. There were five of them making up the rails, and with her good height, climbing the second one alone, would inevitably suspend half her

    Sebastian stepped out of Cynthia´s bedroom and picked up his phone from his pockets, making a call to Gary as he walked to the living room, ¨Boss, we've found something, but it's so suspicious¨, Gary reported and Sebastian grunted, taking a seat on someone's favorite fluffy sofa. Gary went on, ¨Jada was co-hosting a tv show when she lost her voice and was rushed to the hospital-¨. He said and paused, ¨but, surprisingly, she did not arrive at the hospital, and footage from all possible routes the ambulance could have taken is missing, permanently¨¨ However, the glitch didn't look like a malfunction at all¨. He finished and Sebastian furrowed his brows, who could want Jada gone apart from him and Dake? His mind could not conjure up any names and he felt his scalp tingle. He needed Jada badly, he wanted to make her beg for mercy at his feet, but he also wanted something else, ¨how about Justin?¨ He asked and Gary paused. ¨Uh boss, he seems to have disappeared in thin air¨. Gary re

    Drake sat in his office with a frown on his face and his fingers rubbing his chin. He had a file in front of him delivered by Eric seated on the desk before him, but he could not get the strength to open it. His mind drifted back to Cynthia whom he had dropped at her place and if she had not forced him to leave, he'd be making her spaghetti right now. But he didn't have the luxury. Sebastian had put tabs on him and didn't want him close, not like he could follow his orders but Cynthia wanted him to rest and who was he not to do as she had said? But now it seemed like if she had not forced him to leave, he would not have come across this huge piece of news. He resisted picking up the file and instead stood up and called for Eric via the intercom. In no minute, Eric had come before him, looking all serious. ¨How did she get in?¨ He asked, his deep baritone voice vibrating and sending chills down anyone, but Eric was not just anyone. He cleared his throat and spoke up, ¨ About a w

    Both Drake and Sebastian knew that Cynthia had a lot she was hiding, but none of them knew how to help. They could only gamble, because both knew they had not earned her trust yet. But Sebastian felt he was running out of time, he didn't want to do things for her and be questioned in return. Drake was no different, he felt her affection, of recent, was too surreal, and he needed to act fast so he'd secure her, before something changed her mind, or before she was swept away by whatever could be against them. ¨Was it you?¨ He asked suddenly and Sebastian stared at him inquisitively. Drake stepped closer and both were now at each other's faces, ¨ Was you who took Jada Martin?¨ He asked sternly again and Sebastian understood what was happening. He scoffed,¨ I was going to ask you the same question¨, he said seriously and Drake narrowed his eyes on him. If it wasn't Sebastian, then who was it? He thought to himself. Sebastian read Drake´s expressions and knew he had no idea either. T
