“You need not worry.” Jai counters coldly.
“Please boys, we need to work together, not against one another.” | remind them, turning back to Atticus, “I
found out the identity of the shooter.”
“Oh?” Atticus asks, concerned.
“Yes... he is Aran King’s cousin. After the confession where he admitted it, he kissedand so | pushed him. He
is now in critical condition in the hospital and Sebastian took the fall for me.” | say bluntly.
Atticus co cks a brow. “You went from revelation to scandalous and then it just went dark and somewhat
romantic?”
| tilt my head, giving him a look, and Valerie chuckles.
“I never thought I'd say this, but we need to remain positive and try to be positive. Look, Sebastian sacrificed
himself for you and to me, it makes sense that he did that. You are the vital point in the Triquetra, and we need
you out of, not in prison. He's a big boy. He can handle himself.” She says and the boys nod before frowning at
one another.

“She's right. Doctor Valerie is a wise woman. Listen to her.” Atticus
says.
“Doctor Scott, to you,” Jai says pointedly.
“Men.” Valerie shakes her head. “What were you saying, Jai, before Atticus showed up?”

“Bastard.” Jai growls.
“And he said his boys were the ones to attack Sebastian, and that includes my brother.” | sigh. “Any luck on
knowing who the other one is?”
Atticus shakes his head. “Nothing. I've ripped apart all of Dad’s things and have shared what | know, and all Mom
knows was what Dad told her, protect you, the main point in the Triquetra.”
“Right...”
“And you said he’s poisoned Sia...” Valerie says gently.
| look down. “That's what he said,” | say.
She frowns. “I feel like | know this... I...” she clutches her head as if it hurts. “I will do stests soon. We are
going to heal her. We don’t need an antidote from him, we will create the antidote our Sia needs. | will.”
| look at her and | can’t help but remember how strong she used to be, how strong she still is.
“Thank you,” | say, smiling softly at her, one she returns with positivity and confidence.
“Don’t thank me, we need to find the cause first....” she trails off, frowning deeply before she looks at Jai. “I want
to see my old things. or visit my apartment. If it’s still mine, that is.”
“The apartment was put back up for rent but all your items were put in boxes at your dad’s old house,” Jai says.
“Hmm... my friend...” She rubs her temples before shaking her head. “I need to do sresearch... | think we

“That's a good idea, so... Sia...”
“I'll find a solution.”
I nod and Jai nods. “I will accompany Valerie, but | am also your Beta, and | will do anything you needto.”
“Thanks... Atticus... | need you to do a proper thorough check on my Mom... keep an eye on her. Check who she
talks to, who she knows and-"
“Do you really think she’s involved?” Jai asks me, surprised.
| feel guilty but | can’t deny the truth. “She has lied far too many times

knew.
“Yeah, | can do that. | will keep an eye on her, besides | have business with your father’s company, so I'm in and
