KIRA’S POV
I read the message for the umpteenth time: a secret in the basement.
The basement?
What could possibly be waiting for me down there?
Was this Adrian’s weird idea of a gift?
No. Something told me this wasn’t from Adrian. He didn’t even know I was aware of the super creepy, torture-chamber-of-a-basement. I’d only ever been there once… when I saw him drilling a man like it was nothing.
I turned to where the person had come from, my eyes scanning the empty hallway, ears straining, waiting for a maid or one of Adrian's men to pop out and say this was all a prank.
A voice in my head probed, " Do people in this house look like they know what a prank is?”
Ok, so not a prank!
Maybe Adrian had planned something dramatic and romantic and a maid was going to appear any moment now
