Chapter 98

Osborne When we arrived, I honestly had no idea Snipe was there or that he had been tailing us. But when Aina suddenly turned, her eyes sharp and uneasy, I knew she had sensed something. I looked in the same direction, and I saw him. I was sure of it. Still, I acted like I didn’t notice, not wanting to alarm her or cause panic. Then, when I asked her about it, she hesitated, uncertain if what she saw was real. I was relieved she doubted herself, it was better that way. Right after, I sent one of my men to keep a close eye on him. Soon enough, they found out he had planted a bomb in the car we were supposed to use. Thankfully, we got it deactivated in time. I had planned to wait until after the party, then handle him myself, to finish what I should have finished three years ago, quietly, without Aina ever finding out. But that plan was thrown out the window the moment she mentioned feeling some strange presence during the party. Once we got into the car, Aina’s nerves were showing.
