I Require Those Clues Steven Novels & Stories

To verify, he called her, only for her best friend, Clara, to answer. "Um, hello, my dear," Steven spoke slowly. "Hi, Steven, it’s Clara," she replied. "Oh, Clara, how are you? Where is Susan?" Steven inquired. "I am well; Susan has stepped out to fetch something," Clara responded. "Very well, when she returns, please inform her I called and that I wish to see her," Steven instructed. "Okay," Clara acknowledged. As soon as Steven ended the call, Susan walked in. "Susan, your boyfriend Steven called and said he wishes to see you," Clara explained.

This outcome was within Miranda's expectations. Steven’s incident was sudden, coming at an inopportune moment with the murder case. During her confrontation that day, Miranda had repeatedly emphasized waiting for Jasendale’s investigation results. Lord Green, a veteran in the halls of power, could surely sense something amiss. With Steven’s abrupt disappearance, even though he couldn’t secure concrete evidence, it was clear that he had pieced together the truth.

Steven said. "Miss Clara looks better than yesterday, her appetite is also quite good, maybe she's sleeping in her room, sir," Bob said. "Good," Steven said and he told Bob to get out of his room. Steven held the USB in his hand, he felt that someone was planning something and trying to destroy Steven from within, his instincts as an Alpha made him easily spot anything suspicious. To be continued…

However, since I had no idea how long my reunion with Lily and Irene would last, I told him not to worry about it. Instead, Theodore and I simply took a taxi home. When we arrived at the building, I thanked the driver and headed inside. A few minutes later, the elevator doors opened on the penthouse floor. I stepped out and began walking toward our unit. As I approached the door, I reached into my handbag for the key card but then I froze. My entire body went still. Several feet away, standing near the entrance to our penthouse, was Theo and he wasn't alone. Cleo stood in front of him. The tension between them was impossible to miss. Even from a distance, I could tell they were arguing.

I croaked. It felt like my IQ had suddenly plummeted... So embarrassing! He chuckled, and the sound did something to my tummy. Good God..."Didn't mean to scare you, I'm Steven." I blinked slowly. "Okay?" Who was Steven and what was he doing looking so sinfully sexy in the kitchen so early? He smiled widely, a glint of danger flickering in his eyes. "The friends Dominic forgot to mention." My heart stuttered and I almost face palmed at my stupidity. Dominic's friend. Of course!

I could practically hear the gears in his mind grinding, trying to figure out the next step in this unpredictable chaos. As we reached the door, I could see Eve standing in the hallway, her face a perfect mask of concern. The moment she caught sight of us, her eyes widened, scanning us both. Steven didn’t even let her speak before he barked out orders. "I need as much ice as you can get," he demanded, his voice urgent, but with an edge of something that felt almost... protective? Eve didn’t hesitate, her confusion turning into action as she nodded and quickly rushed to do as instructed.

Every instinct I possessed screamed at me to run, to put distance between myself and this dangerous man who could unravel all my carefully laid plans with a single word. Instead, I held my ground and smiled sweetly. "You know," he said conversationally, stopping beside me, "there is something strangely familiar about you. Something that tickles the back of my memory." My heart rate spiked but I kept my voice light. "I have one of those faces, I am afraid. People often think they have met me before." "Mmm." He stopped directly in front of me, close enough that I had to tilt my head back to maintain eye contact. "But it is not your face that is familiar, is it? It is your scent."

So I had Ivan on my left while Dan was on his left and Violet next to me on my right. "Wow you're real" I hear one of my brothers friends say. "Dude" Dan says and throws food at him. "Hey!" His friend says and laughs before her turns his attention on me again. "I'm Steven, I saw you before when you asked for Clair a while ago" he says. I tilt my head In confusion, not sure what he is taking about, that must be evident on my face because he leans forward and whispers loudly, which means he didn't whisper at all, " I told you about Clair's little rendezvous in the closet with your brother" he says.

Find it within fifteen minutes or everyone in the location burns to ashes.” I placed my phone back in my pocket and ran towards the cafeteria. I activated my glasses’ scanner and roamed my gaze around the area. The infrared highlighted a rather large item inside one of the supply boxes stacked behind the counter.

“I—I didn’t know it was yours.” I smiled slightly knowing too well that those exact words were the wrong answer, and then I stepped closer, crouching in front of him. “You didn’t know?” My voice was almost conversational. “You didn’t see my insignia on every shipping crate? On every dock receipt? On every man standing guard?” He shook his head quickly. “I swear—” I grabbed his jaw sharply without even thinking. “You think I’m stupid?” “I want a name,” I said quietly. “Who sent you?”
