Council Hall.

~Tamia~ I leaned into Sylvester in the Limo, and he held me tight.

Linda was in Theodore’s arms, and we rode in silence.

I wondered why Vino would allow Larry to bring their exes there.

Was he trying to ruin our relationship? Then again, I also knew that the council members bullied him, so he must not have had a say.

The man needed to grow a pair, or people would keep walking all over him.

We arrived at the Volkov estate, and Sylvester and I went straight to our bedroom.

Although we had showered at Vino’s mansion, I needed to wash the place off my body.

I entered the shower and turned on the water.

Sylvester joined me, already naked.

“How are you feeling?” He finally asked, and I nodded.

“I am sorry I acted the way I did..” He started, and I pulled him closer to my body.

I looked up so I could see his eyes.

“You didn’t do anything wrong.

I am impressed by your self-control.

You are lord, you could have arrested them, and no one would question you.” I said and rested my head against his chest.

“I am proud of you,” I said, and he wrapped his arms around me and exhaled.

I felt sorry for him that his brother would work against him like this We left the shower and got dressed.

He wanted to go to his office immediately, and I knew it was because of the seal and his signature.

“Sylvester, may I bring up a suggestion?” I told him on his way out, and he nodded.

“I do not know who is doing this to you, but the person either lives in this estate or has people in this estate.

I suggest you have a special ink made for your signature.” I said, and he smiled at me, but I wasn’t done talking yet.

So I walked up to him and placed my hand on his chest.

“I know I am yet to be luna, and I do not know the laws of the north, but I will like you to allow me to help you look into the matter secretly.

I might find out things,’ I requested, hoping he would agree.

I remembered how I used to help Leo with investigations in the east.

Although nothing serious like this happened, I knew how it was done.

“Of course, Luna,” he said and bent t kiss me on the lips.

Then he folded his hands and raised his eyebrow.

“Let’s say you were to do this, where will you begin?” he asked, and I giggled.

“Follow the trail of the so-called tax increment document from who delivered it to where they received it, all the way back to its origin.

If I could trace it back to its source, we would find the culprit or the accomplice.

We might have to go to the west undercover to get the complete picture.

I also feel it was dishonest for Alpha Brighton not to tell you about the attack himself.

We should look into that, too,” I said and sighed.

“I have a long list,” I told him, and he looked at me in awe.

“Wow, Tamia,” he said, sounding genuinely impressed.

“Would you mind working with me, Marcel and Theodore on this?” He asked, and I smiled at him.

“I will think about it,” I said, and he smiled and gently brushed my cheek with his hands.
