Third POV “I am close by but not where I can be found,” He explained. Cassiel nodded, even though the other party couldn't see him. "Keep me updated," he said. "I want to know as soon as you find out anything." He ended the call and stood there for a moment, his mind racing with thoughts. Who could have done such a thing? And why?. He sighed and rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. This was the last thing he needed, on top of Julian's condition. But he knew he had to focus. He had to find out who had done this and make sure they paid for it. The revenge was his to take and not them to make. Cassiel took a deep breath and turned to head back into the room where Julian was being treated. He couldn't let his personal feelings get in the way of his work. As he entered the room, he saw Julian's face, pale and drawn. Cassiel's heart ached, and he felt a surge of anger towards the person who had killed the maid. He sat down beside Julian's bed and took his hand, trying t
Third POV Cassiel went back to their room, picking up the pills. The room was silent, only the haggard breathing of Cassiel was heard. Cassiel's eyes scanned the room, his mind wandered back to Julian's pale face. He walked over to the bedside table, his hand reaching out to pick up the pills. The container was still half full, but Cassiel's mind was racing with questions. Who had switched the pills? And why? He turned the container over in his hand, studying the label. The prescription was from the hospital, but Cassiel's instincts told him that something was off. He walked over to the window, his eyes gazing out at the city below. The sun was setting, casting a golden glow over the buildings. But Cassiel's mind was not on the view. He stood there for a moment, his breathing slow and deliberate. The only sound in the room was his racing heartbeats. He turned away from the window, his eyes scanning the room once more. The silence was oppressive, and Cassiel's senses were on high
Third POVThe maids looked at each other anxiously, but none of them raised their voices. Cassiel's gaze hovered over each of them, looking for any hint of dishonesty or guilt.One of the maids abruptly stepped forward, her eyes sad. Stuttering, "I-I was in charge of the room, sir," she said. "I was tasked with cleaning your room, but I did not see anything out of the ordinary."Cassiel's eyes pierced the maid as he snapped to attention. With a firm tone, he asked, "What did you see?"The maid paused, her gaze flitting about the space. Reiterating, "I did not see anything, sir. Just the way it usually is . However, when I passed by after cleaning, I did see that the door was open. But I was positive that I had closed it after I was done cleaning.”Cassiel's mind was buzzing with guesses as his eyes narrowed. He was not persuaded, even though the maid's story made sense.His gaze remained fixed on the maid's face as he took another drag from his cigarette. He said, "I want to know ever
Third POV“Let her go, she's telling the truth” I instructed Enzo before he inflicted pains on the fragile girl.Enzo's eyes narrowed, his gaze lingering on the maid's terrified face before shifting to Cassiel's resolute expression. A hint of surprise flickered across his features, but he nodded curtly and stepped back, allowing the maid to scramble to her feet.The maid's eyes darted between Cassiel and Enzo, her face still etched with fear, but a glimmer of relief flickered in her gaze as she backed away slowly, her hands trembling.Cassiel's gaze followed her departure, his expression thoughtful. He turned to Enzo, his voice low and even. "I want you to investigate Isabella's alibi before and after the time the pills were switched. I have a feeling she's involved, and I want to know how deep." He ordered with a stern voice.Enzo's expression turned serious, his eyes locking onto Cassiel's face. "I'll get right on it," he said, his voice firm. "But what about the maid? Do you reall
Third POVAs he worked, his mind wandered back to Cassiel's words, his voice echoing in his mind. "I want her brought to me by tonight." Enzo's expression turned grim, his jaw clenched in determination.He knew what Cassiel wanted, and he was determined to deliver. He typed out the last few sentences, his fingers flying across the keyboard before hitting the print button.The printer whirred to life, spitting out a single sheet of paper that Enzo carefully folded and placed in his pocket. He stood up, his eyes scanning the room one last time before turning to leave.As he walked out of the study, he felt a sense of unease settle in the pit of his stomach. He knew what lay ahead, and he was determined to see it through.The hallway was dimly lit, the shadows cast by the flickering lights making him feel like he was walking through a tunnel. He quickened his pace, his heart pounding in his chest.He knew what Cassiel was capable of
Third POVThe hours ticked by, the sun dipping below the horizon as Enzo drove through the night. He stopped at a diner to grab a bite to eat, his eyes scanning the crowded room as he waited in line.He ordered a burger and a cup of coffee, his eyes fixed on the food as he waited for it to be prepared. The diner was bustling with activity, the sounds of sizzling food and conversation filling the air.Enzo's eyes lifted, his gaze scanning the room as he waited for his food. He saw a mix of people, from families with young children to couples on dates.He took his food and sat down at a table, his eyes fixed on the burger as he took a bite. The flavors exploded on his tongue, and he chewed slowly, savoring the taste.He finished his meal and stood up, his eyes scanning the room as he walked out of the diner. The cool night air hit him, and he took a deep breath, his chest expanding as he filled his lungs.He walked back to his car,
Third POVSophia's voice was laced with a mix of desperation and familiarity as she asked."You work for Cassiel, right?" She asked again.Enzo's expression turned guarded, his eyes narrowing slightly as he regarded her. "What makes you think that?" he asked, his voice neutral.Sophia's eyes locked onto his, a hint of recognition flickering in their depths. "I know Cassiel's operations, and the way you handled yourself back there… you're one of his men, aren't you?" She questioned, batting her eyelashes as she stared at him.Enzo's face remained impassive, but his eyes seemed to gleam with interest. "What do you want, Sophia?" he asked, his voice firm.Sophia's grip on his arm tightened, her eyes pleading. "Please, don't leave me. I know Cassiel. I can help you navigate his world. Just don't leave me alone here." She pleaded, tugging at his shirt.Enzo's expression softened slightl
Third POVSophia knew she was doomed. She had played with fire, and now she was going to get burned. She got flung into the back seat as Enzo got to the driver seat and zoomed off."She wanted to keep him calm and under control. But there's more. She was working with someone else, someone close to Cassiel." Sophia suddenly blurted out to ease the tension in the car. Telling everything to Emzo was better than facing the devil himself.Enzo's eyes snapped up, his gaze piercing. "Who?" he asked, his voice firm."I don't know for sure," she said finally, her voice barely above a whisper."But I think it might be one of Cassiel's top advisors. Someone who stands to gain a lot from Julian's incapacitation." She added, her eyes on Enzo's every movement.Enzo nodded his head slowly, his thoughts racing through a thousand miles. There are many people who could work to bring Cassiel down but who exactly is pulling these stunts is
Third POVEnzo smiled, his eyes cold and calculating. "Yes, Cassiel. I'm sure you've heard of him. He's a... business associate of mine. One who takes a very... dim view of people who get in his way." He explained, slowly taking out his phone attempting to make a call.The customs official nodded hastily. "I- I think we can find a way to resolve this issue, sir. Let me just... check on a few things."Enzo leaned back in his chair, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. "Good. I thought you'd see things my way. Now, let's get down to business and clear those containers."The customs official quickly got to work, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he frantically tried to resolve the issue. Enzo watched him, his eyes never leaving the man's face. He knew that he had him right where he wanted him, and he would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.After what seemed like an eternity, the customs official finally looked up, a relieved expression on his face. "It's done, sir.
Third POV"What's going on?" Enzo asked, his voice firm and alert. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes as he jumped straight off his bed, covering his body.“Your attention is needed at the port,” the other caller said, his voice shaking as Enzo snapped his eyes open.“Tell me the containers all arrived in good shape and none got missing.” Enzo asked, his heart beating faster than normal as he waited anxiously to be calmed down and go back to his sweet sleep."Affirmative, sir," the caller replied. "All containers arrived as scheduled, and none were tampered with or missing,” he said, Enzo released the breath he didn't realize he was holding.Before he could finally have his peace, the caller dropped another bombshell.“However, there's been an issue with the customs clearance process. It seems there's a discrepancy in the documentation, and the authorities are holding up the shipment." He announced in a low voice.Enzo's grip on the phone tightened. "Get it sorted out," he said, his vo
Third POV"I'll get my team on this," he said. "We'll track down the maid's location and see if we can get any leads on who gave Sophia the job." Enzo said reassuringly with a faint smile on his face.Cassiel nodded, knowing that his team would be thorough and will take approximately 24 hours to get it done since they have a lead. "I'll review the security footage," Enzo added. "See if I can find any clues about Sophia's movements before she..." he was saying when Cassiel's sharp gaze and voice stopped him.Cassiel's gaze snapped up, his eyes piercing. "Before she what?" he asked, his tone sharp as he spoke.“I meant before i rescued her” Enzo replied, correcting his tone.He stood to his feet, bowing his head as he exit the room straight to his car. He got in, loosened his tie, the night was still quite young.“A few drinks wouldn't kill,” he muttered to himself driving straight to the bar he could locate for a few rounds.He parked his car in the driveway, walking straight into th
Third POVEnzo strolled into the mansion with a haphazard breath, a feminine bag hung around his shoulder as he walked breathlessly close to Cassiel, whose gaze was fixed on the big black television screen right in front of him. Enzo couldn't help but notice the stark contrast between the dark screen and the opulent decor of the room.As he approached Cassiel, Enzo's expression changed from nonchalant to concerned. He could sense the tension emanating from Cassiel, and it seemed to be palpable in the air. Enzo's eyes scanned the room, trying to pinpoint the source of Cassiel's distraction.Cassiel's gaze remained fixed on the screen, his eyes narrowed in concentration. Enzo followed his gaze, but there was nothing on the screen except for the reflection of the room. He cleared his throat to announce his presence, and Cassiel's head swiveled towards him.Enzo's eyes met Cassiel's, and he was taken aback by the intensity of his gaze. Cassiel's eyes seemed to bore into his soul, as if s
