“Ugh! Word on the street is that when that bold brute was getting all up in Ms. Thorne’s face, she just snapped–went totally bonkers. shouting it was all their doing that pushed her! Then nobody really saw her do anything, and the next thing you know, the bald guy just keeled over. Some of the guys reckon he’d never seen a gal that stunning before, got all hot and bothered, and down he went.”
That explanation didn’t hold water
Tarquin asked, “No toxins in his system?
“None.”
op your friend on him, and let me know if there’s any new intel
“Keep
“Got it”
Hanging up the call. Tarquin lit up a cigarette.
When he’d arrived on the scene today, the guy was sprawled over Elysia, a perfectly healthy man, suddenly turned into a vegetable.
What the hell had Elysia done to him?
No, the real question was how could Elysia–under the watchful eyes of the public–render a fully–grown man comatose in mere minutes?

She must be something special!
Tarquin was clearly skeptical.
In his eyes, Elysia wasn’t completely useless, but she was definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed.
She was the kind of foolish woman with more tears than cunning
Meanwhile, the ‘foolish woman‘ Elysia had just finished dinner and was cleaning up the kitchen.
Blossom had dashed to the loo and came running back, phone in hand, all flustered,
“Elysia, check this out–something happened to the Sutton family!”
The Suttons had hit rock bottom, debts up to their eyeballs, and were hawking their Jindale City villa and other properties like there was
no tomorrow.
n Mrs. Sutton
Their fleet of cars and even Mrs. Sutton’s jewelry and designer bags were up for grabs
Oriana Sutton had skipped town, claiming she’d lost her marbles and jetted off abroad for treatment
Elysia was stunned. “This is so sudden!”
“It is, but when you think about it, not really. Oriana messed up big time today, royally pissed off Mr. Huber. When Mr. Huber gets mad, anything can happen.”
Elysia didn’t argue; she too suspected Keaton had a hand in the Sutton family’s downfall.
She didn’t have an ounce of sympathy for Oriana. She mosaint, after all. It wasn’t like she’d wish well on those who wronged her.
She was just shocked at the power of the capitalists!
The Suttons were loaded, yet they crumbled so easily after crossing big money–imagine regular Joes like them, they’d probably lose. more than just money!

No contact, no conflict.
No matter what, she had to get that divorce tomorrow, and once it was final, she’d be out of this city and far away from certain people.
The next day.
Elysia hadn’t planned on making breakfast, but the image of Elijah’s tiny frame just wouldn’t leave her mind.
So, she whipped up breakfast and took it to Sunshine Community.
She didn’t reach out to Tarquin Instead, she just camed the breakfast towards the apartment block.
She planned to leave the food at the door and shoot him a text so he could pick it up himself.
That way, she could avoid seeing him.
She didn’t want to see him at all.

But fate had other plans. Just as she reached the apartment entrance, there he was!
Elysia froze at the sight of Tarquin
It was barely six in the moming, the complex was quiet, and there he stood, alone.
Dressed in a black turtleneck and a long coat, he loomed beside the flowerbeds, a cigarette pinched between his fingers, taking the
occasional drag.
Against the backdrop of the snow–blanketed ground, he was like a black rose.
Though using use‘ didn’t quite fit the man with his chiseled features and an air of icy detachment when his brow furrowed.
He was anything but delicate, all cold indifference
But as frosty as he was, no one could deny his looks. He was a knockout.
At six–three, broad–shouldered, with a lean waist and long legs, he exuded a commanding presence whether standing or sitting, always ramrod straight.
His physique was impressive, and his features? No wonder he caused a stir like a celeb hitting the streets whenever he went out
