Part 1
Lucas
Every part of my instinct roared at me to not let her go to that stupid party. But I agreed because I couldn’t just cage her and I was going there anyway. Of course, not with her as I told her I would. But that’s not the point. The point is to keep her safe. Which I will, at whatever cost.
I thought that, until. I got a call from the office. They want me to present there, personally. I tried to reason with them, showed them the intel, this party could be a major lead. But they didn’t listen.
Now, I have two options.
Restrict Aria from going. Disobey the orders from above.
Neither of them seemed possible without consequences. I grit my teeth and called Aria.
She didn’t take it well. Twice I disappointed her. Now thrice. It’s only a matter of time she’d explode.
Ari
