LUCY.

I opened the door to Adan’s office and let Patrea and Althea in.

"Are you both ready?" I asked, my gaze shifting between them before I gave them a hug.

"Excited!" Althea exclaimed.

"I wish we could take you with us! It'll be fun!" Patrea said, winking at me.

"I can hear you, Patrea,"

Adan grunted, and it made the three of us giggle before I turned around and walked to sit on Adan’s armrest while Patrea and Althea took the couches near us.

"So, is there anything we need to know before we leave?" Patrea asked.

Adan opened his drawer, pulled out a thick envelope, and placed it on top of his desk.

"This is for Althea, from Blade?"

"Blade? Whatever is in there, I don’t want it." Althea stated coldly.

"Check it first."

Adan pushed the envelope further without taking his eyes off her.

I held my breath as I watched her stand up and walk toward the table.I told Adan I could personally hand it to Althea, but he wanted to be the one to explain everything to her, and he promised me he would not lie on behalf of Blade.

Althea picked up the envelope, and her eyes widened as she immediately placed it back on the table.

"No.First, it’s a big amount of money.And second, if this is his way of buying me off because I let his mark stay, you can return the money to him.I don’t need it."

Adan squeezed my hand, and I knew he wanted me to remain quiet, so I did.

"I know you don’t need it.But take it.It’s his life savings.He wants you to have it and start the life you have always wanted.Find the best university and enroll yourself, make the most of your life.Don’t feel like you owe him anything with this money because you owe him nothing.He gave it out of his own free will."

"I don’t buy it.What does he want in return?"

"Nothing.Just to make sure you are provided with everything you need and want."

"I’m used to having nothing."

"Blade likes you, Althea."

"He likes me, but not enough for him to stay."
