I pulled my phone out and called my father. I explained everything from the night before right up until now. I told him about Gideon being requested. I walked away from Jack and Amelia and told him about the connection I was feeling, and he told me not to worry. He would contact Evelyn and offer the full support of Carter and Sons. I thanked him and closed off the call before turning back to face Amelia and Jack. “Carter and Sons are offering their full support to the ADA and will back the case.”

"Darling, leave him. Come to my hotel tonight. I will give you the deed to a private mansion just to get a look at you with no clothes on. You deserve much better than a man who cannot even afford a basic shipping lane." My stomach dropped completely out of my body. A violent wave of pure terror washed over me. I stared at Adrian from across the room, paralyzed by the sheer audacity radiating from him. The men sitting at that table were his dead parents' age. They were seasoned, ruthless cartel bosses who had ruled these underground syndicates since Adrian was a child. To them, he was just a kid playing dress-up in his father's empire.

Ok,this is weird. I thought. Normally, every time I picked it up,random stuff flashed through my head. Call it gift but, trust me, it created lots of headache.

"And nothing else matters." With that, she turned and walked away, leaving Daphne alone in the darkness. Daphne's mind raced as she tried to think of a way out. She couldn't let this happen. She had to escape. She stood and approached the cell door, her fingers brushing against the cold metal bars. She had never used her powers intentionally before, but she had no choice now. She closed her eyes and focused, imagining the door opening. To her surprise, the lock clicked, and the door swung open. She stepped out, her heart pounding with a mixture of fear and exhilaration. She had done it. She was free.
