Chapter 20: +Chapter 20+
Caspian just wanted to return to Asher's place, hopefully alone, so he could take a shower and decompress from tonight's event.
Jael showed up then, the Beta wearing a stern expression. "Mafia King Nikolai went ghost."
Asher looked even more troubled, but the person most shaken by this news was Caspian.
The person bothering him like a sleazebag had been a Mafia King? Oh no, he had literally attacked him. Should he mention that to Asher? Was he in trouble now?
Asher closed the door of the car instead of getting in as well like he planned to, "Take her to the mansion."
Jael looked like he would like to protest but he didn't, obediently heading for the driver's seat. He started the car, watching Asher return to the party through the windshield.
Caspian sat stiffly in the backseat, his worries compounding, the alcohol in his system giving him a slight headache.
Was telling Jael a better option? Or should he just pretend like it never happened? There was also the option to just pretend to be naive and act like he didn't know what was going on.
"Cassia," Jael calling his name startled him. "Where did you work at before the auction?"
