Xavier: When she first mentioned the name, something in me went still. “Lorenzo D’Amaris,” Valerie said with a small, almost relieved smile, setting the file on the desk. “He’s interested in investing in the new firm. It’s all legitimate, I checked everything twice. He seems professional. I am still checking things out, but the idea of someone wanting to invest is making me happy.” I forced my expression to stay neutral even as my instincts sharpened. “D’Amaris?” I repeated, slowly. “Where’s he from?”

His eyes grew wide in alarm, “Your meds.” I pressed my eyes closed, “I packed that already.” I sighed, pointing to my luggage. “Are you ready to go?” ------------------------------------- We were just sat down, a glass of champagne handed to Triston and a glass of orange juice to me. He was seated in front of me, already scrolling on his phone. Lord knows hes probably checking his work email, or stocks… That’s all this man was right? Just a business man with a soul that was probably just cigarettes and nightly stock reports.

The big guy upstairs must've been listening, because he made an exit not long after. Jared brought me lunch which I ate at my desk, because I found that the last person had made a mess of the files. Not that anything was missing, it's just that there was no real order to anything. Around two the phone rang, good, break up the monotony. "Lyon's Place, how may I help you?" "Where the fuck is Lyon?" "Excuse me?" "Lyon, the quack that runs that outfit over there, where the hell is he?"

I think I've given him work to research on. He came back this evening smiling at me. I wondered why he was happy today. I let him freshen up and later on he asked me to join him in the sitting room. He said he wanted to show me something. I was so interested. He played a tape and the xxx videos started showing.. "Holy Jesus! Ugo what is this? Have u forgotten that u are a choir master in the church?" I cushioned him. "madam I'm not committing sin. I'm married to u. You're the reason why I'm even doing this so u better watch and learn" he said.

He must be thinking about his mate. I couldn’t bring myself to even wonder about the state he’d been in not knowing where his mate was imprisoned. Besides, it wasn’t easy for anyone to be able to stay away from their mate for so long and ten years weren’t a short amount of time. They both stood firm with a gleam of determination in their eyes. Holding my right shoulder, Lucas nodded at me when I met his eyes. We were ready! “Buried underground but near the waters… where there is moonlight…” Patricia mumbled to herself with her eyes closed.

VICTORIA Lorenzo wouldn’t be riding with me. The inhibitors were barely taking the edge off. Before the door shut, Dr. Pietro said goodbye to me. "I’ll be coming to your city to study the Luna Nera drug in the Greco labs, and I’ll be personally involved in your case. I hope to see you doing much better very soon," he said, squeezing my hand through the open car window. Honestly, I was really grateful to him, despite the strange way we’d met.

Thus Faith was back staring at the morning new as she always does before she head out to carried out some work. Right on the t.v was a debate ongoing about crime and allegation in the Country, Alexis saw the t.v from afar as she alighted from the stairs, thus she was a bit stunned to see Madam Lydia as one of the speaker on the t.v. Madam Lydia was the CEO of the restaurant where Alexis work before. Alexis went to her the day before to aired on the t.v on her behalf, and while she was on the t.v, she could used that medium to present her defense against the allegation against her as a murderer.

He whispered even though he knew his mother could still hear him. She was a Cherubini, a sacred human blessed by the gods with powers of their choosing. Her super hearing probably allowed her to eavesdrop but Lucian couldn't care less. Evander, on the other hand did, and only pushed on the double doors leading into the court room.

His opening statement was brief, to the point and awfully convincing. Wyatt looked stumped, then took a few awkwardly silent minutes to get his documents in order and Landon’s deadly gaze on him just made it worse I think. He presented a good opposing argument but fortunately for our sake fumbled a bit, I could see that Wyatt had a very obvious tell. Whenever he lied about a fact in the case, he paused for a second before confidently lying.
