Elowen shifted nervously in her wheelchair, even though she tried her best not to show it on her face. This situation was exactly why she had wanted to stay back in the room. She felt exposed, like she was standing under a bright light with nowhere to hide.

Who would Lucien say she was to him?

A homeless woman he was sheltering?

A stranger he had picked up out of pity?

She honestly did not know. But one thing was certain—she hoped he would not reveal something like that to them.

They all waited

    Lucien arrived at Cubano Suite exactly five minutes before one o'clock.The building stood tall and quiet.After getting out of his car, he walked inside calmly.The receptionist was already waiting for him."Mr. Calderwood?" she asked politely.Lucien nodded."The guest is waiting for you. This way, please."Lucien followed her through a private hallway.A few moments later, she stopped in front of a door."He's inside."Lucien nodded once, and the receptionist left.For a brief moment, Lucien stared at the door.Then he pushed it open.The room was spacious and silent.Paul sat near the window with a cup of coffee in front of him.The moment he saw Lucien enter, a smile appeared on his face."You are here," he said softly as though all was well.Of course, for him, all was well. Nothing in this world could shake him. He had seen worse and survived it.Lucien closed the door behind him."You asked to meet."Paul gestured toward the seat opposite him."Sit."Lucien walked over and sat

    The next day.Lucien sat inside his office.Several documents were spread across his desk, but his attention was not on any of them.His thoughts kept returning to the accident and Paul.His instincts told him that Paul wasn't innocent, yet he still lacked the proof he needed.A knock came from the door."Come in."The door opened and Evans walked inside.Lucien looked up slightly."What are you doing here?" he asked, surprised to see him.They hadn't talked for some time now as both of them had been busy with their companies.Evans closed the door behind him and sat down without waiting to be invited."Harris told me what happened," Evans said. Then his face became unhappy. "I can't believe you didn't tell me something like that happened."Lucien immediately knew what he was referring to."I just wanted to keep it to myself until I'm certain of the truth," he replied softly.He was that kind of person. In a case like this, he didn't like involving people until he was certain and ever

    A few minutes later, the sound stopped. The bathroom door opened slowly. Elowen stepped out with a towel wrapped around her damp hair. She wore a simple nightdress, and her cheeks were slightly pink from the warm bath. Lucien lifted his eyes and looked at her. His gaze softened instantly. Elowen noticed it and smiled. "What?" she asked, walking toward the dressing table. Lucien did not answer immediately. His eyes followed her movements quietly. "Nothing," he finally said. Elowen laughed softly. "But your eyes said otherwise." "You shouldn't have asked them, since you already know," Lucien said with a smile. Elowen glanced at him briefly and teased, "Why does this sound familiar?" Lucien understood what she meant. "That's definitely something my wife says most of the time." Elowen used that sentence often. "I see." Elowen nodded in understanding. "I would love to meet your wife though." Lucien stared at her back for a second. "Stop playing around and come he

    Paul froze.The note remained in his hand.For a long moment, he did not move. His eyes stayed fixed on the sentence written in red ink.'Don't think I don't know it's you.'The room suddenly felt colder.His breathing became uneven."No..." he muttered quietly.His fingers tightened around the paper.Who had put it there?The note had not been in his coat before he left the house.Which meant someone had slipped it into his pocket while he was at Calderwood Mansion.Paul's face darkened.His mind immediately went back to the people he had met there."Josephine?"He shook his head. It couldn't be her.She was too innocent to have noticed anything, and that was one of the reasons he had loved her so deeply."Mitchell..."He whispered her name, but quickly dismissed the thought. She had barely paid attention to their conversation.Then another face appeared in his mind."Lucien."His jaw tightened.The young man had been watching him from the very beginning.Paul slowly lowered himself

    Paul and Janet left Calderwood mansion.The car ride felt different from before.Janet kept stealing glances at him, but Paul didn't speak. His eyes stayed fixed outside the window in the distance as though something was on his mind and clearly his mind was somewhere else.In her mind, Janet kept replaying the way he had looked at Josephine.She shouldn't feel hurt as she knew. It had always been like that. A kind of softness he never showed anywhere else, not even to her, his wife.When they got home, Janet got out of the car first.Paul followed slowly.Neither of them spoke until they entered the house.The door closed behind them with a soft click.That sound broke something in Janet.She turned immediately. “Paul”He paused. “What?”“You were different today,” Janet's voice was calm but there was tension in it.Paul sighed slightly, removing his jacket. “I'm tired, Janet”“No,” Janet quickly said, stepping closer. “Don't do that. Don't dismiss it.”Paul stopped moving but his fac

    The atmosphere inside the study remained heavy for a while.Nobody spoke.The truth had shaken all of them.Mitchell sat quietly beside Harris, her eyes still red from crying.Lucien stood by the window, staring outside. His thoughts were restless. The photographs, the note, the attack, everything was spinning inside his head.Then once again, his mind drifted to Paul downstairs.His eyes narrowed slightly. The strange feeling he had gotten from the man returned. It wasn't something he could explain. It was just there.A quiet feeling sitting at the back of his mind.Lucien straightened his shirt and turned to Mitchell and Harris."I'll head downstairs," he said as he walked toward the door.Mitchell frowned immediately."That's all?" she asked.Lucien nodded. "For now."There was nothing else he could tell them. Not when he himself still didn't know who was behind everything.Mitchell and Harris exchanged glances before standing up as well. They followed him out of the study.The th

    At the HospitalElowen struggled to stop the shy smile on her face, but she failed as they headed toward the lady’s ward. No matter how hard she tried, the smile refused to leave. Lucien had whispered something into her ear earlier when he was helping her sit properly in her wheelchair after they a

    Three days later.The sound of a car horn jolted Elowen from her sleep. A soft whine escaped her lips at being disturbed as she adjusted herself, trying to drift back into rest, momentarily forgetting she wasn’t in her own bed.Lucien, seated in the driver’s seat, had his hand resting on his jaw as

    The silence that followed was heavy. Adrian stood frozen, his hand still hanging in the air where Elowen’s had been moments ago. He stared at her as though she was someone he once knew very well, yet could no longer understand. Her small movement—pulling away from him—felt louder than any words sh

    Lucien knocked softly on the office door of Mr. Grey, the Chief Inspector and his superior. Mr. Grey had sent for him.“Come in,” the man’s voice sounded from inside.Lucien gently opened the door and stepped in. The faint smell of coffee and paper filled the room. Mr. Grey sat behind his desk, fli
