"The heart of ACE is highly protected, like that of ETF. There seems to be no visible way by which we can successfully find the Angelo brothers' location" Diesel speaks, the corners of his mouth sneering.

"There is" I turn to find Felicio's daughter in the hallway. Her hair is tied up in a neat bun and those foxy eyes of hers staring right at Diesel.

"And what might that be, smarty?" Felix raises his eyebrow.

I don't know why I defended him in front of Bianca. I didn't mean to, but what I said was nothing but the truth. I trust him a hundred times more than I trust Bianca, and if she dares to question my selection, she's going to have a hard time.

"Mal" she states, walking further into the room.
"What about Mal?" Bianca is quick to ask. Felicio's daughter takes a step towards her and raises a brow.

"What a shame. You're still the same raging bitch as always"

Her voice has a slight British accent. It's almost impossible to make it out unless you're listening carefully.

"Answer the fucking question, Roxy" Bianca sizzles. Felix goes to grab popcorn from the kitchen but I pull him back by his collar.

"Jeez, chill. You're giving me a headache" Roxy rubs her temples.

"What about Mal?" I ask her this time. She shrugs.

"I don't know. Ask your girlfriend"

I narrow my eyes at her, clenching my jaw.
"What are you talking about?"

She moves across the room to Diesel, who cradles his head in his hands but lifts it as he sees her approach.

"Astraea Dione Iglesias" she settles down on his lap, and he wraps his arms around her frame, burying his face in her neck.

It almost makes me gag.

Astraea Dione Iglesias. How in the fucking world does she know Iris' full name?

"Maybe you should try asking her about Mal. She'll probably know" she winks at me.

A wave of protectiveness comes over me and I stride towards her, jaw clenched.

"Stop dragging random people into this matter" I cringe when I call her a random person.

"She's not a random person, Zane. You know that" her eyes meet mine and she blinks "Maybe ask her where she was on Sunday at 8:30 pm"

My heart drops.

Ex-fucking-cuse me?

"Stop fucking hinting and just say it" Bianca raises her voice.

"She was with Mal, Zane. Your little Astraea was with Mal Angelo"

 Your little Astraea was with Mal Angelo"
