"Orion, don't worry! Xan, she's at the villa, and Matthew won't find her there."

"Sorry, Ms. Thomas, let's reschedule the contract signing."

He hurried out, chasing after him.

Roxanne watched all these in shock.

Down KIN Avenue, a black Rolls-Royce thundered past, turning pedestrians and trees into mere blurs. The gas pedal was floored, and the man's slender, distinct fingers gripped the steering wheel, trembling with each disconnected call tone.

"Beep Beep beep beep, Sorry, the number you have dialed is busy."

Orion's vacant gaze slowly refocused, pie spirit gradually returning, feeling her heartbeat and the warmth fi
