"Yes," Kent affirms. "Everything is in place for the delivery as well as the distribution. It should all move seamlessly. We're not anticipating any interference from the police - we've flown fully under their radar with this one."
"What are they talking about?" I whisper, looking up at Daniel, taking his hand.
"I don't know," he murmurs, shaking his head, his eyes still on the door.
"This is good, Kent," Alessi says, his voice pleased and proud. "With this, we as a family know that we can...truly trust your again."
"It's rather disappointing to hear," Kent replies, his voice low and a little angry, "that you ever lost that faith, brother."
I can almost see Alessi give the little shrug that always accompanies the chuckle that I hear. "When families are so far apart for so long," he says, "it is easy to... lose a little trust. Especially with your continued allegiance to the Alden girl, despite our suggestion that you...let those ties go."
I blink when I hear myself referred to this way - especially from Alessi, who has always been nice to me. But this just makes me realize that Alessi and Natalia are two sides to the same coin he's just been showing me a shinier face. I narrow my eyes at the

"Daniel!" I gasp, probably too loud, because Daniel's eyes go wide and then he's hurrying up the stairs, dragging me along with him. But we must make it up fast enough because I have no real chance to see if anyone came out of Kent's office to investigate before Daniel pulls me into my room, shutting and investigate before Daniel pulls me in locking the door behind us.
I glare at him. "Why did you do that?"
"Because, Fay," Daniel replies, glaring back and crossing his arms. "If my dad caught us eavesdropping, he's not going to be as easy to appease as you think he is."
"Speak for yourself," I murmur, moving towards my desk, eager to check my phone.

"Whatever, Fay," he says, done with me for the moment and clearly wanting a minute alone. I don't stop him angry myself, and once the door is shut I pull open my top drawer and take my phone out, flicking through my messages. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!

I scowl, seeing none from Ivan- not yet. And even though he will stilm probably reply tonight, a little worry curls in my stomach now. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
But beside that worry is determination.

There is something going on in this Opite
house and outside of it. And
what Daniel thinks, there's no way I'm just going to sit back and let something bad happen to us without trying to do something to stop it. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
But now that I've heard what Kent was saying downstairs?
I wonder if there's something he's doing that's playing into whatever attack Ivan
knows is coming.
That...perhaps Ivan himself has planned.
