Chapter 15
ALINA’S POV
“OH SHITY”
Standing in front of me with a scowl on his face was Ace.
How the heck did he know I was here!
Ace was always with Lucian. Him being here could only mean one thing–Lucian knew I was here.
I walked toward him and quietly slid into the car door he was holding open for me.
I was relieved to see that Lucian wasn’t in the car, but I knew the storm i was heading into back at the mansion.
“Where is Lucian?” I tried to make small talk as Ace slid into the driver’s seat and zoomed off
He glared at me through the rearview mirror, and I was certain that if he had his way, he’d drive me off a cliff.
Boss is in the mansion.” He grunted before focusing back on the road.
“How mad is he, on a scale of one to ten?” I asked nervously, playing with my fingers.
“Twenty Ace said sharply.
“Oh boy.” I muttered under my breath.
It wasn’t my intention to sneak out, and it definitely wasn’t my intention to come see Adrian, but it had to be done. I only hoped I could make Lucian believe this was purely for revenge and nothing more.
“I know it’s not in my place.” Ace’s voice dragged my attention to him. “But you really shouldn’t have gone to see Adrian.” He tried to keep his tone respectful, but I could hear the spite beneath it.
“You wouldn’t understand, Ace.” I sighed.
“Oh, I understand alright.” He snapped. “You really can’t let go of that scheming boyfriend of yours, and I really don’t care. All I care about is that you stop hurting Boss.”
“You don’t know what you’re talking about, Ace, so I advise you mind your damn business,” I shot back, not appreciating his tone one bu.
I got it he was trying to look out for Lucian, and I respected him for that. But he didn’t know a damn thing about what’s going on, a
and frankly, I couldn’t be bothered explaining it to him either. The only person who deserved an explanation was the fuming man waiting for me at home.
Truth hurts, doesn’t it?” He muttered, shooting a smirk at me through the rearview mirror.
And all I wanted to do was wipe it off his silly face.
“You know what will hurt more?” I asked, not waiting for him to answer. “Your face when Lucian finds out how you just spoke to me.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, wiped the smirk right off his face.
I didn’t want to threaten him, but he was honestly asking for it.
“My apologies, madame. I was out of line.” He said, and for once, his tone was genuine.
Damn right he was out of line.
1 was still upset, but honestly, he was the least of my worries right now.
I didn’t bother responding. Instead, I leaned my head against the window, watching the scenery blur post. The rest of the ride was quiet, thankfully.
When the car approached the enormous gates of the Blackwood estate, my heart began to race again. As we drove up the winding driveway toward the mansion, I glanced around.

Chapter 151
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary but only if you didn’t know what you were looking for.

She was scared. They all were.
And only one person could provoke this kind of fear.
“Where is Lucian?” I asked aloud,
In my past life, I knew of the training room because Lucian would always go there to relieve his rage whenever I pissed him off, but I had never actually been there before. I didn’t even know which part of the mansion it was located in.
