This coffee shop is one of the few hidden gems we have in Silver Valley. I remember discovering the place years ago when they recently opened their doors to the public.Since then, I’ve had Leo order my coffee here mostly because of their use of traditional ingredients.Choosing here to meet with the Varkai prince was a great idea, and sitting here, disguised with glasses and a face cap while sipping moringa tea seems relaxing enough, especially with all the chaos going on in my life.The seat beside me gets rattled, and a fellow face cap and sunglasses lover, sits right beside me.I bring down my mug just a bit and take a slow view of my sitting partner.“Can I help you?” I ask, in a very calm voice.He slowly pulls away his glasses and drags his face cap up a bit to show his face before putting them back in place.Well, isn’t that shocking?The very man my fiancée introduced to me as her friend, the very man who saved my life when I battled a gunshot wound from a heavily coated silv

~Jess~I have no idea how long I've been here.Days, maybe weeks.Time no longer means anything inside this place.There are no windows, sunlight, or moonlight. Just stone walls, damp air, and darkness that seems to stretch forever.The only way I know time is passing is because someone brings me food once every day.At least, I think it's every day. I can't be sure anymore since I've stopped trying to count.I sit against the cold wall and pull my knees to my chest.Every part of my body aches, but my heart aches the most, especially when I remember Sebastian.

He’s standing there, rigid, like a statue."

“What picture are you talking about?” I ask him, even though I know exactly what picture he’s referring to.But what I don’t understand is how the picture got to Allister Blackwaters.When it was obvious that Jessica White wasn’t going to be able to offer us the help we needed, I had to reach back out to Thryssa with a new proposition.They didn’t believe that I could easily get to Jessica White.They didn’t believe that I could deliver her to them on a platter. So, they asked for convincing evidence, which I sent to them by pulling images of my dinner with Jessica White from the first time I kidnapped her.So, how and why did they release those photographs?Why would they send them to Allister Blackwaters?What game are they playing?Philip is still staring at me, waiting for answers I refuse to give him.It takes me a little moment to finally realize that I’m not controlling events anymore.Thryssa might be using me."I don't know anything about Jessica White’s disappearance," I rep
