“It seems you two have managed to come to an accord.” Tabitha looked at their hands that were interlocked.
He would feel bad if he wasn’t merely playing a part.
He smiled, giving Oye’s hand a small squeeze. “Yes, we did indeed come to an understanding.”
OYE
Oye had never been so happy before. It was weird especially when she was walking into a room filled with possible enemies. When they entered she spotted Tabitha and Jina seated at the corner table. Seeing how Tabitha smiled at her, Oye felt relieved.
Castian might not really be Torick, but she’d have to endure it if Tabitha decided to display her jealousy.
“I’m going to sit with them,” she said, going to walk away from Castian. He didn’t let her go, he grabbed her arm and gently pulled her back to his side and kissed her,
She tried to push him off her. Not because she didn’t like it, but because she’d just been cheering about Tabitha not being jealous. And this idiot with the face of Torick decided to act out. After a bit he finally let her pull away from him. Ignoring the heat in his eyes she made her way over to the other women. Avoiding Tabatha’s knowing she sat sat down.
Jina spoke first, pointing her fork at her. “I hate your face.”
Oye feigned innocence when she said, “And why is that?”
“No one should be that fucking happy after getting dick.”
“Jina,” Raven said, shocked. “Come on.”
“What?” Tabitha said as if to defend Jina. “She’s only saying what we’re all thinking. The woman appears like someone who just drank some ambrosia.”
Oye pressed a hand to her cheek. “Do I really look that good?”
“Oh, shut up,” Jina said, throwing her grape at her. Only to frown when Oye caught it, and tossed into her mouth, shooting her a wink. “Damn you.”
“So, I’m glad you’re both happy but there is still one issue that remains,” Tabitha said on a sigh.
“And what issue is that?” Oye asked, leaning back to let the servant set a plate down before her. “Isn’t today the last day?”
“It is, but now comes the rough part. With Torick no longer my option of date, I’m now single along with this shrew.”
“I resent that, and I have a date,” Jina snapped.
“Oh, really who?”
“You.” Jina said easily, taking another bite of her quiche. “Let’s be the two shrews who haunt the wine table.”
Tabitha shot her an annoyed look, before releasing a shudder. She picked up her cell, “I’ll call an associate of mine, he’ll be my best bet.”
Oye couldn’t help laughing at the two’s shenanigans.
The door to the dining room opened, and her humor fled as the single person she didn’t want to see entered along with their target. The two men talking pleasantly.
She watched them as they walked past and made their way to the table where all the men were seated, and she spotted Castian watching them with the same focus. Asher took a seat next to Robert, who said something to his brother Jake. Something the man didn’t like, by the way he grimaced before he stood up and left the tab. A made way toward the exit he briefly stopped behind Grace’s chair and brushed his fingers along it; then he left the room and a few minutes later Grace followed him.
She pursed her lips; it looked like he fucked his brother’s wife to get revenge more than anything else
Shaking her head, she quickly focused on eating. She’d already received the text from her sister that they’d figured out a way to deal with the guest, but it was up to her and Castian to catch the criminals in the act and trap them so they couldn’t run away.
As people started leaving the room, she thought of Castian. If he’d been able to enter the underground, he obviously could do it again. They would just need to keep their suspect in the room long enough for her cousin and the Jackals to come and the human authorities who represented Veil City’s interest.
Being as they were so far from the city, it would take time. Lanias couldn’t advertise how easily she could move from one place to another.
Oye thought hard, till her plate was taken and she was hit with an idea. They would just lure them there, and keep them there.
