Kyson sat up and locked eyes with Nathaniel.
âI taught her how to shoot, and she learned it quickly.
I was behind her, watching her every movement.
â
Nathaniel realized what Kyson was getting at and furrowed his brows.
Kyson then went on.
âIf she didnât want you to get hurt, she could have made sure you were totally unharmed.
In other words, she was furious with you and-at some point-even wanted to kill you.
Youâre just a pet to her.
If you obey her, youâll be rewarded, and if you donât, youâll be punished.
She no Longer has any love for you.
â
Just think about how Lucinda looked at me when she saw me the other day.
Itâs crystal clear that she has feelings for me deep down.
Once we sort out our misunderstandings, youâll be nothing but a distant memory to her.
You get it, right?â
Nathaniel pursed his thin lips tightly, and his pupils slightly flickered.
Kyson laughed hysterically, pleased with Nathanielâs reaction.
But then Nathaniel broke into laughter too.
âWell, mo wonder youâre the head of the Secret Investigation Department.
Youâre an expert at manipulation and scheming.
You prey on peopleâs weaknesses and break them down.
â
Kyson narrowed his eyes, wary of Nathanielâs quick wit.
There must be more to this man.
Nathaniel pressed on.
âI know thereâs more to this meeting than what youâve revealed, right?â
Kyson smiled again.
âDonât you want to know where you stand in Lucindaâs heart? I
f faced with a life and death scenario, who do you think sheâd choose between you and me?â
Both men stared at each other.
One manâs eyes was frigid and piercing.
While the otherâs eyes held a malevolent, haughty glint.
Lucinda and Zaniyah were in the middle of a meeting when a commotion erupted in the hallway outside.
The sound was jarring and sudden.
They exchanged a questioning glance before rising from their seats to check what was going on.
In the corridor, a man dressed in a crisp suit and polished leather shoes was engaged in a heated argument with the female assistant.
âWhatâs going on here?â Lucinda inquired.
