All Chapters of The Black Raven's Heart: Chapter 11 - Chapter 15

Detective Hyde Collins sat across from Aries, his gaze fixed intently on the man before him. Aries, a journalist working for one of the city's prestigious magazine companies, appeared composed. Still, there was a flicker of nervousness in his eyes as he awaited Hyde's questions."Didn't expect to see you here," Hyde commented as he settled on the seat opposite Aries Coulter. He never thought that the nosy person he met at the crime scene was one of the suspects in Natalie's case. As per the analysis of the victim's phone, Aries' contact number was first on the list of recent calls on Natalie's phone.

Hyde finished his coffee and prepared to leave the table when Aries stopped him."I promise, I won't be a burden to the investigation." Aries implied and raised his hand as a sign of his oath. But Hyde had already decided not to let anyone meddle in the investigation. He just breathed frustratingly and was about to have another sip when his phone suddenly rang. Aries remained silent to grasp what they were talking about. "Yes? I'll be there." He hung up the call, finished his coffee, and left the table quickly.
