CHAPTER 34

SERA POV

Tricia found me in the infirmary just as I finished checking Boyd's shoulder for the second time that day, her arrival announced by the particular silence that fell over a room whenever she walked into it.

"Still playing doctor to your kidnappers," she said. "How very forgiving of you?"

"They're patients. I don't have the luxury of only treating people I like."

"A pity. It would simplify your life considerably." She wandered closer, eyes moving over the ward. "I heard about t

    Chapter 3“From the crime scene, it's clear that she was strangled.”I entered the briefing room, it was already filled. Mrs. Jones stood at the front, giving a breakdown of the case.I quickly joined in, flipping open my file. James was also present, seated a few chairs away.“I want all of you at the crime scene. Gather every piece of evidence you can,” Mrs. Jones instructed firmly. “This case is a serious one because the lady involved is the daughter of the Minister, and he’s not going to rest until the culprit is found.”She slammed her hand on the table, her eyes piercing through each of us.“Get back to work.”One by one, we rose from our seats and filed out of the room.I was about to leave too when I heard Mrs. Jones call out again.“Ariel. James. Meet me in my office.”She turned and walked out.James and I exchanged a look. He shrugged, he had no idea what it was about either.We followed her into her office, stepping in behind her.She settled in her seat and looked at us,

    The door to the club burst open. Loud music and the strong scent of alcohol and cigarette filled the air.On stage, a pole dancer spun seductively, her curves drawing the hungry eyes of men. I scoffed loudly, almost getting hit by a drunken slut who stumbled past.I shook my head in frustration. I was only here for James, and that was it.“A glass of tequila. Not mixed,” I told the bartender curtly.My eyes roamed over the crowd of dancers. James was at the other end of the room, talking to a blonde girl with bright yellow hair. They were close, discussing something, and exchanging something, I couldn’t quite see.The bartender handed me the drink. I collected it and turned back to see James approaching.“Hey, babe,” he greeted casually.“Who was that?” I asked immediately.“No one,” he said without hesitation.I gave him a stern look. “Quit the act, James. I saw you back there.”“Babe, come on.” He chuckled. “Are you seriously thinking that?”I didn’t respond. I simply drank the tequ

    Chapter 75 — BlackwaterKadeWe left Northport before the sun came up.The road to Blackwater became rougher the farther north we traveled. The busy roads disappeared first, followed by the farms. By the time the first light reached the sky, we were surrounded by thick forest and steep hills.Sera sat beside me with the map spread across her lap.She had barely spoken since we left Elena's house.I understood why.For the first time, we weren't chasing another clue that could lead anywhere.We had a destination.Blackwater.And if Elena was telling the truth, it was the last place Mathis had gone before disappearing five years ago.Rowan was driving.One of the guards followed behind us.Sera traced the road on the map with her finger."The mine should be somewhere here."Rowan glanced at the map through the mirror."There used to be three roads into Blackwater.""Which one did Mathis use?""Elena only knew about the northern road."Sera looked at me."Then that's where we start."I n

    Chapter 74SeraThe house stood at the end of a narrow road outside Northport, surrounded by tall grass and a few old fruit trees.It wasn't what I expected.There was no security around it, no hidden entrance, no guards watching from the windows. It looked like an ordinary family home that had been left untouched for too long.I stared through the windshield."Are you sure this is the place?" I asked.Rowan checked the address again."Yes."Kade looked at the house."Stay close."I gave him a sideways look."I know how to walk.""I wasn't talking about walking."Before I could answer, he opened the door.I followed him toward the house.We hadn't even reached the front steps when the door opened.A woman stood there.She was probably in her early thirties, with dark hair tied loosely behind her head and a tired expression that made her look older than she was.Her eyes moved from Kade to me.Then they stopped.She stared at me for several seconds."You have his eyes."My chest tighte

    Chapter 73 — NorthportSeraBy sunrise, I was ready to leave.I had barely slept.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the same image: my father standing on the Council platform, except now I couldn't trust the memory anymore.For eight years, I had believed I knew exactly how he died.Now I knew only that I had watched a man wearing his clothes disappear behind a line of guards.That distinction should not have mattered.It mattered more than anything.I came downstairs carrying a small bag and found Kade already waiting near the entrance. He had changed into dark clothes suitable for traveling, and a weapon was secured beneath his coat.He looked at my bag."That's all you're taking?""I'm not moving to Northport.""We don't know how long we'll be there.""Then I'll buy what I need."His mouth twitched."You say that like money has never been a problem in your life.""It hasn't.""I forgot who I married."I stopped.He had said it casually, but the word still caught me.Married.Not c

    Chapter 72 KadeThe moment the gates opened, I knew something was wrong.The guards at the entrance weren't standing in their usual positions. Two had moved closer to the road, weapons drawn but lowered, while another was speaking rapidly into his radio.I pulled the vehicle to a stop.Sera looked through the windshield."What's happening?""Stay here."She gave me a look.I sighed. "Fine. Come with me."She opened the door before I could finish the sentence.We crossed the grounds together.Rowan was waiting near the administrative building. His expression was controlled, but the file in his hand was already telling me this wasn't a routine security issue."You said someone broke into the archive.""Attempted to," Rowan corrected. "They didn't get far.""Where are they?""Gone."Sera folded her arms. "Convenient."Rowan looked at her. "They didn't leave empty-handed."My attention moved to the file."What did they take?""One document.""What document?""That's the problem."He open
