ADRIEN

I sat very still and calm in the backseat of the Audi, watching Luciano as he approached.

He looked agitated and worn out. My heart almost moved for him.

It was obvious he wasn't taking the current situation of our mother well, even though he pretended to.

I smiled and crossed my arms as he got into the car. As I expected, he didn't notice me.

“You've gotten weak.”

His broad shoulders stiffened, and he slowly whirled and faced me with wild gray eyes. “What the heck are you doing in my

    QUINNMy heart almost stopped when I heard his voice.Then I saw Adrien flying backwards, away from me. And I knew that Luciano was furious. Fuck. What was I thinking, being here like this with Adrien alone? Curiosity kept me, certainly. Curiosity about how much hotter his fingers could burn…how much warmer his breath could feel on my face…how much cleaner he could smell.The thoughts vanished as soon as Luciano’s gaze fell on me, gray eyes freezing me over. He wasn't…pissed at me, was he? I didn't do shit. Just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. “No wandering at night,” he said in a voice that chilled me right to my bones. “Especially not around my wife. Head back to your room, will you?”I was torn between walking out and just standing here until Luciano’s obvious rage had taken a considerable decline. I wasn't sure which was the best path to take.Adrien's eyes found mine across the room as he staggered to his feet, swiping his thumb across his lip. Those warm

    ADRIENI was beginning to have a little too much fun playing this game. Luciano’s expression in the rearview mirror back in the car, was pure gold, tickling me right to my toes. The possessive idiot couldn't even hide the fact that he was getting quickly sucked in by his wife's charm. Lilith’s beauty played a big role, yes. But it was Quinn’s spirit working the real charm here. That woman had some kind of irresistible aura about her. Her vivaciousness never failed to shine through every time I looked at Lilith, and she didn't even have to do too much. Just exist in Lilith's body. I would've taunted and commended her about it the minute we were left alone back at the precinct, but I wasn't in the right state of mind to even talk to her. So I snuck out when she wasn't looking and stayed beside myself, simmering with rage. There was no telling what I would have done if I remained within range of that man who looked so much like Hayes Draven. My mind had been on flames ever since. My

    LUCIANO This couldn't be possible.He should be dead.This man standing right here in an Inspector's uniform, should be dead. Why? He looked every bit like the man I had grown up detesting. Like the human that had brought absolute doom upon my life…our little family..In fact, I believed my dead father had somehow come back to life. Hayes Draven in flesh and bones.Hayes Draven. Not Michael Thorne.But this man standing here claimed to be the latter, and he didn't seem like the father we knew, even though he looked every bit like him. Not with his polite smile and approach. What was going on here?For a moment, I was grateful that Adrien had ridden with me, and was standing here right now, next to me. Even though annoyance had burned in my chest as he got in my car earlier and rode with me without my permission… right now, I figured I wouldn't be the only one confused as fuck about what was going on. Especially when I turned and saw the expression on his face. Thunderstruck. So I

    QUINNI knew I was fucked the moment the attendant from the minimart walked into the precinct moments after I was apprehended, smirking at me like I was a rat caught in his trap.‎‎Confusion and agitation swirled in my head like unstable waters. I kept yelling that I knew nothing about the counterfeit notes, yet no one listened to me. They probably thought I was crazy, but I really did know nothing, except for the fact that I stole those notes from someone else who was probably stealing too. ‎‎Being fucked was an understatement, because there would be no way to account for this money, or defend myself when I eventually get whisked away for an interrogation like they'd promised.“Excuse me.” I tore my gaze away from the attendant and over to the female attendant at her desk a few steps away. Her chin was locked tight in a grim expression.“Step away from the bars, please.”I sighed and shoved my fingers through the blonde tresses on my head. “Listen, you have to trust me. I know no

But I wasn't about to bore or hurt him with the details. I shrugged, grinning at him. “Riding with my twin.”His jaw clenched hard. “Get out.”My eyes locked on a red spot in his neck, and I whistled. “Is that…” I squinted for a little dramatic effect, “blood?”He touched the tiny cut and wiped the blood in his hair. “

    QUINNEw. I was both disgusted and disappointed with myself.It took everything in me to not puke all over the steering as I drove hard and fast away from the campus. Damn Samira. I still couldn't blame her, anyway. I deserved what I got. What I did to her back at Luciano’s house? She didn't deserve that. I didn’t consider how my strategy would make her feel. I’d only thought like a selfish idiot. Now, karma had me sitting here dripping in this stinking water that had sat in the flower pot for probably months, without being changed.“Fuck, fuck, fuck!” I cried, slamming the horn repeatedly. I had initially planned on visiting the hospital after I apologized to Samira. Now, I couldn't even move around in this mess. I was still curious about how my body fared in an unconscious state. I still wondered if there was a way to undo all the mess that already happened. Swerving into a gas station after a couple more minutes of multitasking with my hands and brain, I dashed into the minimar
