Chapter 25: Temptation
VALENCIA’S POV
"Are you really alright? You have been dazed from the moment you came," Casper asked me for the umpteenth time, and I smiled at him, a little forcefully I must add.
Was I fine? I don’t know.
All I know is that it was a really close call. I don’t know why this was happening suddenly. I have been living here for 6 months and nullifying these rogues’ plans and fighting them, but never once I was this close to being caught as today.
It’s like from the moment I met Shadow, he has placed some kind of radar on me. I am sure he isn’t tapping me because I know how to handle all those things, but how the hell does he reach everywhere I am sooner or later?
I can’t even imagine what kind of questions and explanations I would have to form if they had caught me. However, something about his eyes told me he kind of already guessed it was me.
Though I was wearing lenses to hide my eyes too, it was the little pause that he took when he saw me, almost as if he allowed me to run away.
Then again, why would that man help me? He has no reason to. Rather, he must be anxious to catch me red-handed so that he can bring me to his alpha and get this case over with. I was just giving him too much credit for sure.
Do you know what was the worst thing among all this? Money!
After working so hard, it was their wallet that caught my immediate attention, but this time because I was afraid of being caught, I couldn’t take any cash from them, and it strangely pisses me off.
"Your best friend is here," Casper said bitterly, and I turned my head to look at Aiden, who was looking around to locate our seats.
