The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, and Adrian didn't bother to look up from his laptop.He knew who it was before she even stepped into the room. The click of her heels was too deliberate, too sharp…and now too annoying. The perfume that followed her everywhere was choking and familiar. He'd grown to hate the scent over the past few weeks. It never smelled like jasmine and honey anymore, it smelled like obsession and manipulation."Adrian." He didn't respond."I said—" he cut her off, still not looking away from his laptop."I heard you."Vanessa appeared in his peripheral vision, her silhouette sharp against the floor-to-ceiling windows behind his desk. She was dressed immaculately, as always, her blonde hair perfectly curled and her makeup flawless. But there was something wrong beneath the polish. Something angry.And Adrian felt nothing now."I need to talk to you," she said, her voice tight."I'm busy." his voice falt and final."It’s about Seraphina." His fingers pa

He was unremarkable in every way. Average height, average build, average face. He wore a simple suit and an apologetic expression. The kind of man you'd pass on the street without ever noticing.But Adrian noticed him now…he couldn't help it."Mr. Vale," Marcus said, his voice calm and professional. "I apologize for the interruption. I just had a few questions about the quarterly projections."Vanessa stared at Marcus like she'd seen a ghost and Adrian's eyes narrowed. "We're in the middle of something.""Of course." Marcus nodded pleasantly, his gaze sliding to Vanessa. "I can wait."For a long moment, nobody moved. Then Vanessa laughed again…a hollow, broken sound. She looked at Adrian, then at Marcus, something unreadable flickering across her face."You think you're so clever," she said, her voice hoarse. "Both of you! But you have no idea what's coming." She turned and walked toward the door, pausing beside Marcus in the doorway."He'll destroy you too," she whispered, just loud

The police station smelled like stale coffee and desperation.And Adrian hated every second of it. The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, making everything have that weak yellow glow that made everyone look like they hadn't slept in days. Which, to be fair…none of them had.Seraphina sat beside him, her knee bouncing nervously beneath the table. Stephanie was on her other side, arms crossed, glaring at anyone who dared look at them for too long. The three of them had been waiting for almost two hours."I need coffee," Stephanie announced, standing abruptly. "Before you talk Adrian, I want real coffee not that burnt garbage they're serving in the break room.""Sit down," Adrian said through gritted teeth."I'll be right back.""Stephanie—""I'm getting coffee!" She stormed off before anyone could stop her. Seraphina exhaled slowly. “She's going to start a fight with someone.""Probably.""Should we stop her?"Adrian glanced at the doorway where Stephanie had disappeared. "No…let her.

The car hummed beneath them as Seraphina drove through the empty city streets after getting Marcus address. The silence between them was thick, heavy with everything unsaid. Adrian sat in the passenger seat, his hands resting on his thighs, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.He'd never been the passenger before…not with her, not ever. He was always the one driving, the one in control, the one who knew exactly where they were going and how to get there.But tonight? Tonight he was just... following."Sera—""Don't." He closed his mouth.She gripped the steering wheel tighter, her knuckles white. The streetlights flashed across her face in intervals, illuminating the tension in her jaw, the fire in her eyes."I'm not doing this right now," she said, her voice sharp. "I'm not having a conversation about feelings or apologies or any of that bullshit. Not tonight."Adrian nodded slowly. “Okay.""Okay?" She sounded surprised, still not looking away from the road."Okay. Whatever you need."

The name hung in the air like smoke.Elias Hart.Seraphina stared at her phone long after the call ended, her mind racing. The name was familiar…she'd seen it somewhere, heard it somewhere but she couldn't place it or figure out why it made her chest feel tight."Who's Elias Hart?" Adrian asked, his voice carefully neutral.Seraphina looked up at him. He was standing a few feet away, his hands shoved deep into his pockets, his jaw tight. He was trying to look calm, still trying to look like the name didn't matter after seeing her reaction.It clearly mattered."I don't know," she said honestly. "He's been coming to my office and waiting for me. My assistant said he's been there every day."Adrian's expression flickered, something dark passed through his eyes before he masked it."You've been off work for weeks," he said. "Why would someone keep coming back?""I don't know." She stood up slowly, brushing the dust off her clothes. "But I need to find out.""You're not going to work.""E
