Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)I looked at Vincent when he took a sharp breath.“What’s wrong?” I asked him, arching my brow.“Protocol Z activated,” Bowan replied to me at the same time.“Good. Now, use Team Shadow to monitor all the activities and find out where Liam Sterling is.” I instructed him calmly but continued staring at Vincent, who was now looking at me with a cold, blank gaze.“Protocol Z activated, Mrs. Holster,” Nolan replied after some time.“Are you working for her or me?” Vincent asked him coldly.“Ask me if you are having a problem with this,” I said to Vincent, annoyed.He glared coldly.“Don’t forget that you made me CSO when you were injured, and Nolan was instructed to report to me.”Vincent was infuriated, but he had no refutation.“Don’t sit idle; find where Lupus is, and also Sebastian Sterling’s location,” I instructed Vincent, moving my gaze to the small cabinet where our laptops were.“So, that’s it?” Vincent asked, and I frowned.I took our laptops out but s

Subject9’s P.O.V.I closed my eyes and let her harsh words pierce my heart.She wasn’t wrong.For years, I protected her from the people who wanted us dead, just because Lauren was Aurora’s daughter.She did nothing wrong, and Aurora was innocent, too.Yet, they targeted her again and again, trying to kill her or hurt her in every way.I was like her shadow, protecting her at every step.Yet they always found a way to hurt her.I didn’t want her to be trapped in those horrible memories.That was why I continued giving her the same medicine that Cassius formulated for us – the people with severe PTSD after coming back from the war zones.I knew it wasn’t fair, but what other option did I have?And I never regretted my decision because it saved Lauren from all the pain and psychological trauma she had to endure because of those memories and incidents.Now she remembered everything, but she was psychologically strong enough now to face everything without crumbling.So, yes...I accepted

Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Relax, bro. I am not going to blow the mansion up.” I was still nonchalant, but for some reason, I was exhausted and sleepy.“You are becoming more mysterious day by day, Lauren. You are now scaring me,” Caellum replied worriedly.“I am not becoming mysterious, bro. Most of the problems are already on the verge of vanishing at any time. It…. It’s just that we are still in dark about the identity of the person who not only killed our parents but is responsible for everything that happened to me.” I answered and took a deep breath.“So, you are forgiving the person who fed you illegal drugs all these years and made you forget so many things from time to time?” Joyce asked me, and a bitter smile crept on my lips.I didn’t want to open my eyes, but I had to.I slowly opened my eyes.“No, Joyce. What he did cost me so many precious memories, too. So, no… I am not going to forgive him any time soon.”She looked satisfied with my answer, but she was still angry.

Lauren’s P.O.V.“We will go through the proper channels, bro. They want us to lose our cool,” I said to Caellum in a serious tone.“To hell with what they want, Lauren. They attacked us.” Caellum almost yelled, but it only made me roll my eyes.“You aren’t more vendictive than me, bro. If I am asking you to stay calm, and cooperate with the police, then do what I am saying. Trust me. They will be the one yanking their hair in the end.” I still tried to persuade him.I was also angry, but one thing that Mom always said to me was that anger never solves a problem.If you want to defeat your enemy in his every move, then, you need to stay calm, and do opposite of what they anticipate.So, yes…I was not going to make any move on them.I was going to make them make mistakes.“What happened to Aurelia wasn’t our doing, but they left the traces going to them, and you still asking me to stay calm.”“Bro.” The irritation in my tone increased this time.After falling asleep in my office, I sl

Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)They wanted answers, and I had answers.I never planned to hide everything from them, but I was so overwhelmed.11 wasn’t just someone who saved me a few times.He was a psycho, and with that burnt face, he looked like a monster who crawled out of hell.Yet, he was the one who told me that everything would be okay when I hurt someone for the first time.He was the one who comforted me, saying that it wasn’t my fault when I killed my assassin for the first time.He was the one who held me tightly against his chest, giving me the sense of being safe and protected.I once asked him how he got those burn scars.Did he get those scars by saving someone?And he said yes.He gave me another candy, pressed my head against his shoulder, and told me that he was saving someone dear to him from the fire.“Laurennnnnn!” I flinched harder.My whole body was shaking, but it was Vincent.“We need to stop for now,” Vincent instructed aggressively.“Take her to the hospital.
