Chapter 81

   You two, in my office," the Chief's voice resonated with a powerful authority, echoing through the bustling police station. Max's heart skipped a beat as he heard those words, his eyes involuntarily darting towards Lark, who wore an unsettling grin. Max adjusted his shirt nervously, the fabric feeling rough against his clammy palms, and reluctantly began making his way towards the Chief's office. Lark, always quick to seize any opportunity to tease Max, hurried behind him, his voice dripping with mischief. "Today's your lucky day, Maxi boy," Lark whispered, a barely concealed amusement in his tone, a private joke that only the two of them shared. He chuckled, the sound seeping into Max's consciousness like an irritating itch. Max clenched his fists, desperately suppressing the urge to turn and deliver a punch squarely on Lark's smug face. As they walked down the dimly lit corridor, the air seemed to

Chapter 82

      Max and Lark strolled silently, through the police station, their footsteps echoing in the corridors as they made their way towards the garage. The familiar scent of gasoline and polished metal filled the air, mingling with the underlying tension that lingered between them. They spotted a row of police cars, their polished exteriors gleaming under the fluorescent lights. As they approached the vehicles, Lark casually leaned against one, his eyes scanning the surroundings. "Let's take this one," he said, pointing to a sleek black sedan with tinted windows. Max hesitated for a moment, not particularly fond of riding shotgun with Lark, but he didn't want to cause any unnecessary friction between them, there was already enough from that morning. With a resigned sigh, Max nodded in agreement, "it's your call". He said. They climbed into the car, the leather seats

Chapter 83

        Max shot Lark a disapproving glance, the need to maintain professionalism outweighing his friend's jokes, " I'm sorry about my colleague" Max said to Damian, "yea, you better be" Damian said in return. Ignoring Damian's comment, Max focused on Rose, his eyes reflecting a mix of concern and curiosity. As Rose was ushered into the waiting limo, her expression seemed tired and troubled. Max couldn't help but notice the strain etched on her face, even in the midst of her beauty. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong, that there was more to her story than met the eye. Their eyes met briefly, a glimmer of recognition flickering in Rose's gaze. It was as if a distant memory tugged at her subconscious, but she couldn't quite place it. She offered him a tired wave of thanks before the limo slowly drove away, leaving Max sta

Chapter 84

    Max continued walking through the hallways of the hospital beside Damian, who remained focused on their surroundings. As they walked in silence, Max felt the urge to break it. "Umm, hey," Max said tentatively to Damian, who didn't immediately respond. Damian's eyes remained fixed on the hallways as if he were the sole person walking through them. Undeterred, Max pressed on, determined to address the issue at hand. "Look, I'm sorry once again about my colleague," Max apologized sincerely, his voice tinged with regret. "He just seems to have a knack for saying the wrong things at the wrong time." Damian suddenly came to a halt, turning to face Max directly. His gaze was intense, suggesting he was ready to respond, his gaze intense and serious. His silence lingered for a moment, creating an air of anticipation. Lark lagged a mere couple of feet beh

Chapter 85

       Max slumped in the uncomfortable backseat of the police car, his gaze fixed on the blurry silhouette of Lark in the front. Lark, as always, was devouring an enormous doughnut, each exaggerated chew a reminder of their tense relationship. Max and Lark had never seen eye to eye peacefully, their constant exchange of sarcastic remarks grated on Max's already frayed nerves. It seemed that they were always on the brink of another explosive argument, just like the one that had erupted earlier that day. As the car rolled to a stop inside the dimly lit garage, Max's mind drifted to thoughts of Rose. They had shared a deep connection, and her absence weighed heavily on Max's heart. The police car had come to a halt mere steps away from where Rose's elegant limousine was parked, a stark reminder of the luxurious world she was now in. He remembered the day

Chapter 86

     Rose woke up early in the morning, her body burdened with an unusual weariness that weighed upon her. As she opened her eyes, she scanned the room and noticed a tray of breakfast delicately placed on the table beside her bed. Puzzled, she wondered who could have been so thoughtful as to bring her breakfast. Her mind was still clouded with the events from the previous day and the incessant presence of the press outside the hospital. Just as Rose was about to ponder further, Prisca, her best friend, walked into the room. Prisca's concerned gaze met Rose's, and she asked in a gentle tone, "Hey, Rose, how are you feeling this morning?" Caught off guard by Prisca's unexpected kindness, Rose couldn't help but feel suspicious. She hesitated for a moment, her brows furrowing, before replying, "I'm... I'm okay, I guess. Just a bit stressed and strangely tired. But why are you being

Chapter 87

    Lark's past was a tapestry woven with friendship, betrayal, and the stark division of social classes. In the quiet town they called home, Lark and Damian had once been inseparable, their bond forged in the innocence of childhood. They shared countless adventures, secrets, and dreams, their laughter echoing through the streets as they navigated the intricacies of life side by side. However, fate has a way of intervening in the most unexpected of ways. When Sebastian's family moved to town, bringing with them their opulence and affluent lifestyle, the dynamics of Lark and Damian's friendship began to shift. As Damian was drawn into the glimmering world of wealth and privilege, he inadvertently distanced himself from Lark, leaving their once-unbreakable connection strained and fragile. It was not long before the glaring disparities between their families became evident. While Sebastian's f

Chapter 88

     As Lark stealthily moved through the quiet hospital hallways, the hushed whispers of slumbering officers filled the air. His gaze fell upon McKinley, one of his fellow officers, and he gently shook his head, silently signaling him to stay put and maintain their positions. Lark knew that he had to handle this situation on his own, at least for now. Keeping a safe distance, Lark continued to follow the figure, his senses alert to every sound and movement. It was then that he noticed something peculiar—the silhouette he had been tailing possessed the delicate curves and stature of a woman. His brows furrowed in intrigue as he observed her, realizing that she was carrying a camera. Determined to uncover the truth, Lark kept his footsteps soundless, tracking her every move. The mysterious woman approached Sebastian's hospital room, her intentions unclear. However, before

Chapter 89

    As Gwen walked away from the hospital, the weight of her actions settled heavily upon her. The echoes of her mistakes reverberated in her mind, causing her to question the choices she had made. Lost in her thoughts, her phone suddenly buzzed, signaling an incoming call. It was Ivy, the person who had sent her on this ill-fated mission. With a mix of trepidation and resignation, Gwen answered the call, her voice tinged with weariness. "Hello, Ivy." Ivy's voice crackled with impatience and frustration on the other end of the line. "Gwen, did you get what I asked for? Is Sebastian's condition really as critical as we suspected?" Gwen sighed, her voice heavy with disappointment. "No, Ivy. The hospital was swarming with cops. They were protecting Sebastian's privacy, and no one really knows the extent of his condition. I couldn't get any pictures." I

Chapter 90

       Sebastian was now in his room, early in the morning, still recovering from his injuries. Despite the discomfort caused by the bandages on his hand, he held the remote tightly, his fingers gingerly switching through the television channels. As he scanned the news, his attention was suddenly captured by a breaking story that made his heart race. The news anchor's voice filled the room, reporting, "In a shocking turn of events, the body of a man was discovered earlier today, wrapped and cruelly discarded in the nearby lake. Preliminary investigations suggest he was shot before being disposed of. Authorities are currently working to identify the victim and determine the motive behind this heinous act." Sebastian's eyes narrowed, a twisted smile forming on his face. It was his doing, his carefully orchestrated plan that had come to fruition. Everythi
