Chapter 3 **** "What did you say your name is?" I asked again for further clarification."Adrian Kane". He repeated the name, but arrogantly this time. Wait, Kane. As in *Kane Global*. The corporate empire that swallowed competitors for breakfast. The man who’d been Ryan's rival for years.

He was glad she approved. “By the way, what sort of name is Day? Ouuu, please tell me that you have a twin named Night?” Her eyes twinkled with a mischievous light and Daykan was intrigued to see this side of her. “Ha-ha, very funny. It’s an ancient name from a practically forgotten language. My full name is Daykan Greystone.” “Wow, pretty fancy. Nice to meet you Daykan.” “You too Naomi. Now if you would follow me, I’ll take you to Susan so you can fill out the membership form.”

Both the codes said the same name. Revaan.

A name. Sakava.

“What’s the name of the hospital? — The question came out almost automatically, my mind already planning what to do next. The silence that followed was awkward. Everyone in the room stared at me in surprise. Axel, Anton, Anneliese, and Pietra were visibly confused by my sudden interest in this girl who, theoretically, was just a stranger to me. I could feel Axel’s sharp gaze on me as if he were trying to figure out what was going on. Anneliese blinked a few times before finally answering: “It’s General Hospital, if I’m not mistaken.” She spoke carefully as if wondering why, exactly, I was so interested.

“May I?” Mara beamed, handing her son to me. He was adorable, with Mara’s features shining through. It was amusing—her son looked just like her, while Tanya was all Andrew. “What’s his name again?” I asked, feeling a little embarrassed. Mara had told me, but with work and everything else, I’d forgotten. “Zane. Zane Maru Ottave,” she replied. James Maru, Andrew Maru, and now Zane Maru. I raised an eyebrow. “What’s with the name Maru? Are you guys trying to make it a family brand or something?”

I mean, you do have your own office with Sir Bien elsewhere, but I think you can add 50,000 Intelligence Points to the whole Midnight Resort Enterprises just by walking into one of our bathrooms. ”Oh, ahhmmmm… I really don’t know about that Nate but thank you.” “And my full name is actually Nathaniel M. Benitez but yes, Nate sounds better than Niel or Benny, which my family calls me. So I make up for it by including Nate in all my online names. Even my porn accounts!” ”Uhhhh… A bit TMI but thanks for sharing, Nate.” ”No problem. Let me know if you want a free access code to anything online, gaming… dating apps… even sex sites… I can provide it for free, okay?”

Preston had used an ugly red and yellow building as the icon and he had named the app Health. Cassie knew that naming it For Isabel was silly but naming it Health was the most unimaginative idea that she had ever encountered. Daniel had been right; they were going to have difficulties marketing the app, especially if they kept that shitty name and icon. Ever since her discovery, she had begun to wonder if she should confront Preston about it. Unless she had concrete evidence against him, he was just going to deny any accusation thrown at him.

“Just like that?” “Just like that.” He raised a brow. “You are agreeing too easily. Should I be worried?” “I am calculating the risk.” “And?” “Still worth it.” He leaned back, satisfied. “Then let us do it.” “Fine. But we need a name.” He grinned. “I was hoping you would say that.” “I am not calling it Micah & Alessandro Corp. That sounds like a law firm.” “RomDuv Alliance?” “That sounds like a secret military organization.”

“Yeah. The only thing I’m apprehensive about is the pain I’ll be in once we are turning. But, Dr. Moreno cleared us and said we are both healthy for the transition.” “What’s your real name, anyway?” I asked. She smiled, “I bet you think Sin is some kind of devilish nickname don’t you?” “Yeah, I do.” I said. “Well, it’s not. It’s short for Sinclair.” She said. “I did not see that coming at all.” I chuckled. “So does that mean you are going to leave your code names behind and start using your actual names?” Canary’s eyes lit up, “I hadn’t even thought about that. I will, if it’s required.” She said, “Hey, are we talking to your parents again? They are serious but fun.”
