In the separate room, only four men were present. Federico Rodriguez sat at the other end of the table, facing his new acquaintance, Adrian Blood. On his right side was his son, Ricardo. James Halton stood on the other side."What is it you want to discuss so much, Mr Blood? We were having a nice celebration, you know." Federico Rodriguez broke the long silence, staring straight into Adrian Blood's eyes.The celebration was for Lyana and the ladies who loved to indulge in parties. The men took no part in it, only false pretences when they bore hate in their hearts. Adrian knew this, James Halton always gave him the side eyes, Ricardo Rodriguez was full of fake smiles. Of course, they were only here for a main reason, why not just focus on that point. Adrian Blood looked at the three men. He scanned their faces. He did not expect it to be this easy to gain their acknowledgement. What if they had found out his identity? He needed to know that this was not a trap for him. He needed to c

Lyana looked sparkling pretty in her flowing dress. She wore that marvellous smile of happiness as she approached Adrian. "Did the meeting go well?" She asked in concern. Adrian Blood smiled. "Very well." He turned back towards the slightly open door. "What is going on in there?""My stepmother is choosing her new maids. She changes her maids every month." Lyana Rodriguez did not seem happy talking about Melissa Rodriguez. Aristocrats in Ravendale were known for their nature of self superiority, but nobody was as superior as Melissa Rodriguez. She believed that nobody had the right to serve her for more than a month. She thought she was so special. A big suprise how old Julia had managed to remain with her for so long. Although the truth was that old Julia never belonged to Melissa, she belonged to Lyana's mother. Melissa only stole her, just like she stole every other thing that belonged to Lyana's mom."Have I ever asked you, how did your mother die?"The smile of happiness, which

As soon as Adrian Blood came out to see him, Lucas was walking away, surrounded by some of Rodriguez men. Ricardo Rodriguez was standing in front of him, saying some things to his ears. When he noticed the approach of Adrian Blood, he quickly dismissed Lucas, and the men took him away."What is he doing here?" Adrian asked. "That man attempted to murder me."Ricardo forced a smile. "Relax, Adrian. He will be punished for that. But there are not many men with the talent that Lucas possesses. We need him if we are going to accomplish our mission. After that has been achieved, he will die. I promise." Adrian Blood was not convinced. He still had his doubts. "You are planning something, are you not?" He knew that Ricardo was pretending to like him all along, but he did not expect him to do such a bad job at it."You still do not trust me?" Ricardo seemed hurt. "Yes, I have despised you for many years, but when you saved my sister... when you saved Lyana, the story changed."Ricardo gave
