"Later we will also go to Danze, his company has the best ring factory. Dreyk and Jerilo are not far apart in age, in fact they knew each other before their relationship became employee and employer.

Instead, he offered himself to be Drake's bodyguard, and when they graduated from College, he

More settled in itself. The door opened. Sera came in without announcement. Dark jacket, hair back, the look of a woman arriving from one meeting and heading to two more. She glanced at him once, moved to the head of the table, pulled out her chair, and sat down. She opened the folder. "Mr. Ashford." She picked up her pen. "What can I do for you?" He took the chair across from her. "Was the Draven acquisition intentional?" She looked up. Her expression was attentive and professional, the same expression she gave everyone who sat across from her with something to raise.

> “She’s not copying you anymore.” Sera nodded. > “She’s editing me.” By midday, the edits were spreading. Lucien opened three logs the Echo had silently touched. > Log 3317: "Sera’s favorite drink now: black coffee, honey stirred counterclockwise." (Sera drank hers bitter. Always clockwise. A superstition.) > Log 2204: "Sera's first panic attack listed year: 2011. Location: church basement." (No such event existed.) > Log 912: "Sera's romantic history: one prior partner. Elise disapproved."

I groaned, not liking Sera ordering me around. “You don't order me around; I'm a college graduate while you barely finished high school,” I said aggressively at her, begrudgingly getting up my feet to fulfill her needs. “Yeah, thanks for rubbing it in,” she said, her voice strong and unwavering. I could barely notice the emotions as her face saddens. Sera was one strong woman who hardly gets carried away by emotions, which was one of the reasons at 25 years old she was still a fucking virgin.

Grabbing a glass of white wine from a table, I had barely made myself comfortable when a middle aged man approached me. “Hey gorgeous.” He smiled, clicking his glass on mine. I only offered him a stiff smile in return. I was used to the gawking of humans whenever I entered a room and tonight's own was nothing different. “You look exceptionally pretty. I figured there was no way I was going to let you slip off my hands.” I nearly rolled my eyes at his cajole. “I’m Dr. Kingsley Parley.” he said with an even tone. “Serafina Dunes.”

"N-nice to meet you, Haraya. I-I'm D-Danary Jane B-Belcalis." Haraya smiled as she returned the handshake. "Aren't you just the cutest little thing! How did you meet this big oaf anyway? He's not really one to make new friends, much less find a wife by himself." I rolled my eyes as I gently nudged the two of them toward the elevator, punching the button for my floor as they continued to chat. "I-I work for Mr. S-Serman's company and got assigned to h-help Achilles manage the p-project for h-his new building."

'She's right you know, not everyone is Jasper, not everyone will break your heart. If only I could but I'm not ready yet. 'You're not getting any younger though.' I know right? While I was still having a mind battle my office cell phone rang. I answered the phone. "Doctor Giordana Quinton on the line how can I help you?" "Good morning Doctor, a Mr. Forbes is here to see you should I send him in?" "Sure," I replied absentmindedly. "Nice office Giordana." I heard a deep masculine voice not up to two minutes later.

She blushed intensely, feeling very embarrassed. Sergio sat in front of her and extended his hand as he introduced himself. "Hello, I'm Sergio De Santis." "Hi, I'm Rina Jones," she replied visibly nervous. "A pleasure to meet you, Miss Jones," Sergio smiled seductively, aware of the effect he had on the girl and enjoying how his proximity made her nervous. They chatted for a long time, unaware of the passing hours. They realized they had a lot in common and enjoyed the same things.

Before I could answer, we’re interrupted. “Zane, darling!” Sera. I let out a sigh. She rounded he corner, elegant as ever in a silk wrap dress, her red hair bouncing as she walked. Her smile faltered when she noticed me. “Oh. You’re still here.” “I was just leaving,” I said flatly. “Perfect.” She slipped her arm into Zane’s like it belongs there. “Zane darling,” she said, “You’re not supposed to overexert yourself. Dr. Caldwell insisted on rest after…”

CHAPTER 11: THE EVALUATION The council building smells like old stone and older lies. I sit in a chair too hard for comfort. The room is small. No windows. One door. A table between me and Dr. Sera Vane. She is thin. Sharp. Darius's cousin by marriage. His ally by choice. "Seraphina," she says. Not Princess. Not Queen. Not even Mrs. Vane. Just my first name. Stripped of everything. "Do you know why you are here?"
