ZAIA.
Agatha had to be knocked unconscious because she refused to go silently and until
the cameras were all found, | did not trust her trying to alert someone on the way
out, but | wouldn't be surprised if they had already gotten wind of what had
happened.
Aran and | are now in Agatha’s room as he looks at the items around the room. Sof which | had commanded
two of my guards to pack into a box, including the cards. and smemory sticks, whilst | had Jai take her
laptop to pass to Atticus to see if
there is anything else on it.
Aran has not said a word and | am waiting for him to start the conversation, and as important as this is, | am
losing a lot of blood, but he looks too distracted to notice.
“It’s hard to believe,” he finally says, as he sighs heavily.
“It is... even | didn’t want to believe it,” | reply quietly.
“It has becexhausting. | knew Sebastian was a bad egg from the start.” He says contemptuously. “Who
knows how long he and Agatha were planning this, or if he was the one who manipulated his mother to do this?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I don’t think so. She was clearly in on this before Sebastian was even born, and she is also Gaultier’s biological
mother. I'm assuming it was probably via surrogacy unless she has been pregnant more than once?”
“Another child... No, | think surrogacy makes sense. She has not been pregnant aside from with Sebastian. But
she has been sick for a while. | would never have thought she'd be doing anything but enjoying her life and living
in peace...”
What exactly is she suffering with?” | ask.
“The doctors aren't sure of the cause, but she was told to take it easy and not to take
any pressure.” He says.
“Hmm, it might be true, but she definitely used it to appear more vulnerable,” | reply.

He nods as he looks around the room. “In all my years, this is the first t| am
seeing this place. It was her space and | respected that, but to think she was sitting
here and plotting...
He sighs again as he takes a book off the shelf.
“Will you win this, Zaia?” he asks quietly as he turns back to me.
“Yes, | will,” | say, and | don’t doubt it. | plan to win.
He nods before looking down at the book.
“Disappointing... End this once and for all. If you need anything from me, | am here.
But | will understand if you'd rather | not be involved. Get your injuries checked.”
With those curt words, he leaves the room.
| look around the room, deciding to go through the shelves just in case we missed
anything. | take off my jacket and pull up my top, looking at the wound. It’s just on
the side of my waist..
Stepping into the bedroom, | go to the closet and pull out a bedsheet. They're still
kept where they always used to be. | tear a long strip and I'm about to wrap it around
my waist when my vision spins, but | need to get it checked...
| can’t put it off any longer... | glance at the lounge and take out my phone, dialling
Jai’'s number.
“Hey.” He says.
“Jai, | want you to scour through every inch of Agatha’s lounge right now. | feel we

might find something more in there.” | say, pressing the fabric to my waist.
“Got it, Zaia, are you still there?”
“Yes... I'm going to try to shift now, and then I'll be home.” | reply.
“Ok... but please let Val check it over too.”
“I will. See if Justin can get anything else out of Agatha, but | want it recorded.” | say.
“Understood... Zaia, are you ok? | mean aside from being shot...”
“Yeah, I'm good...”
“| feel like you're beginning to isolate everyone... am | imagining it?” His voice is hesitant, but he knows the
answer to that.
