They were the only two people on the second floor.
She was a girl, after all–wasn’t basic safety
awareness a must?
Victor: “Move it.”
“I won’t.”
Tessa replied without even thinking.
She had fully absorbed Ste’s advice—not just doing nothing.
She barely even showed her face…
Right now, hearing the tension in Victor’s voice, Tessa was nervous as hell, but still didn’t <i>go </i>open the door.
Thankfully, Victor said nothing more and must’ve walked away.
Tessa patted her chest and sniffled in frustration. “I wasn’t always like this…”

The things that had happened in just a few days outnumbered the major events of her
past twenty years
She still hadn’t/recovered.
She called Ste. The call connected
quickly. “Tessa.”
“Tessa
“Ste, do you have a minute?”
Ste: “Yeah, go ahead.”
She had just been about to call Tessa herself when Tessa’s call came through first.
Right now, Ste was standing outside Abraham’s study. Marie had gone in.
Things with Derrick were a mess!
Marie was absolutely fuming…
Ste was waiting at the door.
Tessa: “I listened to you–I’m not doing anything, and I’m avoiding Victor.” Avoiding him?
Was she serious?

“You two live under the same roof. Avoiding each otherpletely? That’s nearly impossible.”
Plus, Victor’s vi wasn’t that big. It’d be impossible not to run into each other.
Tessa: “I just go out for meals. I stay in my room the rest of the time.”
Basically, until they figured out whether she was a spy or not, she needed to avoid Victor as much as possible.
Ste twitched at the corner of her mouth, remembering what Abraham had told her about Victor liking Tessa.
Now she felt like Victor using Tessa of being a mole was just an excuse–his real motive was something else entirely.
Poor little Tessa,pletely in the dark.
Ste cleared her throat. “When you went upstairs earlier, my brother said Victor told him he liked you.”
She was all about transparency here.

Tessa was already scared stiff being near Victor. No way Ste would keep something. like this from her./
Tessa: “What the heck?”
She thought she’d misheard.
Ste: “My brother said it.”
She trusted Abraham, in and simple.
And if it came out of Abraham’s mouth, then it probably wasn’t far from the truth— it meant Victor really did say that.
<i>This</i>…
“That can’t be right.”
That guy was terrifying.
She’d seen him kill before. So ruthless- human life meant nothing to him.
With someone like Victor, Tessa figured
women were nothing more than toys to him.
As for liking someone…

<i>Feelings </i><i>like </i><i>that </i><i>probably </i><i>don’t </i><i>even </i><i>exist </i><i>in </i><i>Victor’s </i><i>world</i>.
He treated life like it was disposable, like snuffing someone out was no big deal. How could a man like that fall for a woman?
That was the impression Victor had left on her in such a short time.
Ste: “I don’t know either. I’m just telling you what my brother said.”
“He’s lying. Probably just trying to mess with your brother by saying I’m a spy so he could get you to take me away.”
Uh…
That didn’t sound impossible either.
As the two went back and forth, the topicpletely veered off track.
Tessa, in particr, was losing her cool. In the end, she said weakly, “Ste, can you double–check who the former head of
Ashen Pact was?<b>” </b>
Coming from Victor, that info didn’t hold much weight for Tessa.

Especially after everything Ste just said…
To her, Victor just seemed like a scumbag.
<i>Who </i><i>jokes </i><i>about </i><i>someone’s </i><i>mother</i>? She hadn’t been eating or sleeping right for days.
Even though Ste had already told her the previous leader’s name was Diana, Tessa still wanted to be sure.
Ste saiid, “Okay, I’ll check for you.”
If Diana really was Tessa’s mother, this could be huge.
After all, the current leader didn’te into power under the cleanest circumstances.
They talked a bit more before hanging up, most of it Ste trying to calm Tessa down. Back in her room, Tessa was curled up on the little sofa, her mind aplete mess.
Victor… told Abraham he liked her? Why?
Was he really just trying to mislead Abraham?
If so, the guy had guts–he actually dared to

As her thoughts spiraled, she suddenly heard a noiseing from the balcony window. Her eyes widened in shock.
Before she could react, the ss door slid open with a/soft <i>click</i>, and then <i>whoosh</i>–the curtains were flung aside.

The moment her eyes met Victor’s cold
gaze…
Her mind wentpletely nk.
She stared at Victor, then at the ss door behind him. “You… you…”
He climbed through the window?
There was a balcony outside the ss door, but that was practically the same thing, wasn’t it?
