POV Adrien:

When I found my wife with a rope around her neck hanging by the column in the middle of the dining room I doesn't think and I run to hold her from her legs and pick her up for that the rope don't squeeze her neck. Luka and Nathaniel held her then I grabbed a chair and stand up on the table and I cut the rope using the scalpel that I had in the pocket of my top.

They laid my wife on the floor and I went to check on her, praying all the gods that I know existing that my wife is still alive. I checked her neck and for my biggest relief, I was able to detect her pulse. She was passed out, who the hell could do this to a fuckin pregnant woman and kill both of them. I picked her bridal style and walked to leave the room.

I was wild with rage that even the color of my eyes turned dark green for seeing the most precious person in my life passed out in my arms. Anger flared across my face and then I raised my head and shot them a warning look with a voice full of rage

Adrien: I swear, in front of all of you, that I will discover this killer, before the end of the trip. Whoever you are, and how many you will kill, I will know you. I dare you to kill me. If you are smart, I'm smarter, and let's this game begin

I doesn't add any other word and I walked to the surgery room holding my unconscious wife. I laid her on the autopsy table to examine her. I wear some gloves and checked all her body and then I checked her neck, and the rope mark wasn't that intense. My mind went to many hypotheses. Why she is passed out and how the killer got the rope around her neck and Marinette doesn't even yell? Why she wasn't wearing her shoes?

Marinette (while sleeping): A... Adrien

My eyes widen when I heard my name coming out of her mouth, I know she is unconscious. I got closer to kiss her but I felt her lips are dry. Really dry and this is the first time in all my years with Mari that I find her lips dry. I removed my right hand glove and touched her lips for some seconds then I wore my glove again. there is only one thing which dry the lips like this.

My wife was drugged.

I held Mari's hand and played with her hair with my free hand. she looks really tired. Who the hell could do something like this to a pregnant innocent woman.

Adrien: I promise, that I will know who is he princess. I will protect you from now on

I take a seat in the armchair available in the surgery room, waiting for Marinette to open her eyes and examine her better.

To distract myself, I got the scalpel from my top pocket and twirl it between my fingers being careful of not hurting my hands

Lila: hey hot stuff.

I doesn't look at her and I kept twirling the scalpel between my fingers

Adrien: I think you should hide in your room

Lila: come on, I know who is the killer

Adrien: Lila, you lie like breathing

Lila: maybe you won't believe me, but the killer has blue eyes. I don't know his face or gender, but I saw him or her, I don't know

I put the scalpel in my top pocket and walked closer to Lila

Adrien: watch out, maybe the killer is here and listening to you. I will tell you something my dear Lila, I don't trust anyone except Mari, Alya and Nino here.

Lila: whatever. If you want more informations about the killer, you will find me in my room, today, at 6pm, alone

Adrien: why not now?
