"Of course, I understand Mrs. Chloe's resentment. But animals die for food, and people die for wealth. I have no choice, otherwise, how could I dare confront Mr. Atlas?" When he saw that Atlas had no intention of reconciliation, he added, "I just want that notebook." "Sure. How do we make the exchange?" Navi's eyes lit up for a moment. "It depends on how you want to do it." "Any time works for me. If you hand him over now, I’ll give you the notebook immediately." Atlas's bluntness really surprised me. He was very eager and prepared for the exchange. Navi was a little flustered. His expression made me think that he hadn't expected Atlas to be so forthcoming.

Atlas looked like he had been hit over the head with a hammer made entirely of the concept of bewilderment. "Why…what…who…this makes no sense," Atlas stumbled. "Why on earth—I mean, I knew he would try to sabotage Noah before Damnatio Memoriae to get him exiled…but why assassinate him and try to steal documents?" "That is what I want to figure out," I said. "Noah gave you access to the entire database. If we find what Chris is looking for, then it'll give us an idea of what he's up to." "Yes, yes, that's all well and good, except for the fact that the network contains literal thousands of gigabytes worth of information!" Atlas grimaced in frustration. "How are we supposed to sift through all

"I will not repeat myself again. Forget to use my title, and you will live to regret it. Now go, were done here." I couldn't hear the words that left Alyssa's lips, nor did I notice her confused glance towards the forest line. I could however hear the choked sob that left her lips. The old Raelynn felt sorry for her, the new me couldn't care less. What did she expect after all? A man who rejected his mate harbored no warm feelings for anyone. What made her think she was any different, that she was special when his own mate was not? I did not glance her way as she left, completely rooted in place by Atlas's eyes. "Are you going to come out, kitten? Or will I have to chase you down?" Atlas's v

She stared at him. And for the first time in years, she didn’t see the man who destroyed her. She saw the man who once held her at midnight in a library and whispered her name like it meant something. “Why the marriage?” she asked softly. “Why force me to marry you?” Atlas stepped closer, eyes locked with hers. “Because I don’t trust you.” “And marrying me will fix that?” “No,” he said. “But keeping you close will help me find out who you really are now. And maybe… maybe I want to see if there’s anything left of the girl I used to love.”

**ATLAS** I never had to question the kind of man I was until I was standing in my home office, peering at the images projected on the wall in hopes of freeing the woman sleeping under my roof. My thumb tapped against my lips, and I shut my eyes, feeling the delicious burn of fatigue pulsing through me. I could chastise myself, question my decisions and what exactly I had done—but I did not think. I just…brought her home. Now, the noose wrapped tightly around my neck, and it dawned on me by the complexities projected on the wall that Calista was in deep trouble.

Atlas said coldly, causing all eyes to turn to him. He didn’t care about everyone’s eyes and laughed coldly, “What, did I say wrong? It’s your turn to deal with your adopted daughter well, don’t let her become an eyesore to me.” Atlas's eyes were fierce as he glared at Mrs. Nenito, the first time since Atlas's accident that everyone saw him with such an aura. Here, except for Mr. Drkov and Daisy, the two people's faces were equally ugly. Mr. Drkov, on the contrary, was a little happy and said: "Atlas is right, Vivian is not suitable to stay at our house, Dalziel, you book a hotel room for her."

“She got lucky.” Atlas snorted so loud I thought he might choke. “Lucky? That girl has been glued to books for weeks. She practically camped in the library. You saw it coming, Enzo.” I slammed a hand on the desk. “I did not see it coming!” “Oh, you saw it,” Atlas pressed, moving closer to my desk like he wanted front-row seats to my misery. “You just didn’t believe she’d actually win. And then she did. Fair and square.”

The world had ended two years ago, and somehow, Jesse still hadn’t died. He blamed Marcus for that. Marcus, with his stupid muscles, gorgeous face, and unwillingness to die no matter how many zombies tried to use his guts as an offal meal. They were holed up in a half-collapsed roadside motel in Nowhere, Nebraska. The sky outside was smeared with blood-red clouds and ash. Their last meal had been nearly expired protein bars and something that might’ve been squirrel or worst—a sewer rat.

Unlike Elena's house, which was very big and had many rooms, Agatha's house only had one bedroom. The kitchen and living room in Agatha's house were in the same room with no partition. Therefore, Calista felt awkward and confused about how to respond to Agatha's request that Chris be allowed to stay overnight. Fortunately, the last time Chris was mating with Agatha, she was busy with the annual ball held at Raymond's house, so she didn't go home that night and stayed late into the morning.
