Celeste reached for the body lotion on the counter and stopped halfway when she remembered Dante said she smelled like roses when she wasn't even wearing anything close to that. She pulled her hand back and walked out of the bathroom just to barge into Leto's room, who was still sleeping on the bed. Leto craned his neck upward, looking at her sleepily. The black duvet covered the lower half of his body, leaving his upper half exposed. "What are you doing in my room?" Leto asked, rubbing his eyes. Celeste approached his bed and sat down. "What do I smell like?" He groaned, covering his face with a pillow. "Les, it's too early to play questionnaire. We've been working for fifteen hours since that incide

Celeste stomped her feet on the pavement as she left angrily. But deep inside, she was squealing like a high school girl speaking to her crush. Celeste couldn't believe that Dante had intentionally created a misunderstanding to see her reaction. As much as she hated the misunderstanding, she couldn't stop her heart from beating too loud in her chest. It almost felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.She wanted to be mad about it, but she couldn't. Whenever Dante's face reigned in her mind, she felt her misery melt right away. Celeste had never been affected by a guy before. Certainly, these kinds of feelings felt alien to her. It was all brand new things for her. She never dated anyone, let alone kissing someone. But then, her first kiss was stolen by the guy that had been reigning in her mind.Should she be mad about it? She should have. But then, she didn't dislike the kiss. She didn't get mad when Dante stole it from her. In fact, Celeste felt

Brandon grabbed his laptop from his bag and switched it on. He logged into his email to see the email that Vincent had sent. There were ten photographs attached to the email. Brandon looked at each photograph carefully, noting everything he saw in a small notebook next to the laptop. Those photographs were captured through the camera he set up in the building across from Kennedy Strauss' nightclubs.Since Brandon couldn't always operate the cameras on his own, Vincent would operate them from time to time. Those photographs in the email were Vincent's photographs during his shift to operate the camera. There was nothing unusual in the photographs. It was a series of photographs of Kennedy Strauss entering and exiting his nightclubs with some people. It was just those kinds of photos.But Brandon ended up staring at those photos for the whole night until the sun shone on the horizon.He hit his head on the table once, groaning. He had spent his night staring at th

Although they were given a four-day vacation, Celeste and Leto were summoned to escort several vans transporting a new batch of smuggled girls. The harbor was no longer a safe place, but Kennedy Strauss always found a way to smuggle girls. After escorting the vans to Lust and Greed nightclub, Celeste and Leto stayed in the basement where the smuggled girls were getting taken care of. As usual, the doctor administered the drug to the girls, ensuring they wouldn't end up overdosing. Celeste watched the live footage of the upper floors and saw Dante was escorting Kennedy Strauss to the VIP section where the meeting was held. The memory of Celeste's first kiss and spending the night in Dante's house flooded her mind. She ended up wide awake during the whole night and couldn't sleep even though she was dead tired. Knowing that Da

After talking to Leto and Celeste, Brandon didn't put any high hope about them getting the black book for him in return for him keeping his mouth shut. Worse of all, he didn't mean to use Celeste's ability. Brandon rejoined the meeting and stood nearby the exit as instructed by one of the senior bodyguards. Celeste was standing next to Leto as their eyes fixated on the stage. The way they were looking at the girl on the stage was troubling the Gamma. Their eyes suggested they knew the girl on the stage. At the moment someone raised the bid to ten million, his head snapped in the direction of the bidder. It was too dark from where the bidder was sitting, and Brandon couldn't get a better look at his face. Leto was looking at the same bidder as if he could see the bidder despite the darkness.
