Asher's Pov 

Over the next few days, I come back to the ruined wizard's hiding hoping to find a clue about who ruined it. But, so far, I find nothing. 

" Stop being so frustrated, Asher " my best friend said.

" This has been bothering me for the past few days and I can't put a finger on who did this "

" Maybe, we just need to be patient and the person will reveal itself to us "

" The person ain't that stupid. Must be hiding somewhere here "

" Have you checked the forest ? "

" No "

" I think we should go up and check it "

We teleport ourselves up and check around every corner of the forest.

" Find anything ? "

" No. No footprints , no sign of person "

" I find a strand of black hair "

" Let me scan the place with my magic "

I use my magic to see who was in here the past few days. I see a woman in a hooded cloak that's covering her face hiding behind one of the trees watching on us.

" Who is it ? "

" The person is a woman in a hooded cloak. But, I can't see her face "

" You should go back to your apartment "

" Yeah, I think so too. Thanks for helping me here "

" You can always count on me, Asher "

Meanwhile

Astoria's Pov

I just took a swim with Victoria in her swimming pool. Now, I am waiting for Victoria to finish her shower so we can go to the garden.

" You're finally done, V "

" Was I that long in the shower , A ? "

" 10 minutes more or less "

" You don't need to count the time "

" Let's head to the garden now, shall we ? "

" So , how is your life now, V ? "

" Hectic . What about you , A ? "

" Fun. Tell me about your recent problem "

" Someone bought half of my boats without my permission. I don't even know the buyer's identity "

" Anyone who wants to purchase your boat needs your permission first ? "

" Yes, so I can research about the buyer's reputation before I said yes "

" That's a very smart tactic "

" A tactic that this incognito buyer refuse to go through "

" Haven't you found the person ? "

" My personal assistant is still searching for the person. Any recent problem of yours ? "

" No "

" Tell me, why have you decide to become a high school teacher ? "

" I have a degree on it and I always love teaching "

" If you came to me, I would give you a better job "

" No, thank you. Our friendship is the best you can ever give me and I'm very thankful of it "

" Speaking of friendship, how long have we not see each other ? "

" Two years if we count you met me as my human identity "

" Anyways, I'm glad we met again "

" I'll always be here for you, V "

" There is always a space in my heart for you , A "

Suddenly, I get a call from Rick. I answer his call right away.

" What is it , Rick ? "

" We find a strand of black hair in the forest and it might give us a clue on the person. Asher said that he saw a woman with a hooded cloak hiding in one of the trees spying on us . Do you know anybody with black hair, Astoria  ? "

" I don't know. But, let me ask Victoria " I muted the call.

" Do you know anyone with black hair ? "

" Nancy, Vivian and Sofia "

" Which one of them are witches ? "

" Vivian and Sofia . But, I don't think Vivian would do such a thing "

I unmute the call .

" Victoria might have a clue on the person " I replied .

" Who's the person ? "

" Someone named Sofia "

" Hold up, I'll tell Asher "

There is a slight pause until........ " What's her full name ? "

" Sofia Rosequartz " V answer the phone.

" Occupation ? "

" Representative of the witches "

" Describe her "

" Tall dark haired woman with tan skin and green eyes "

" Thank you. We'll be heading to your place "

A few minutes later, Rick and Asher appear in the garden. I run to hug Rick.

" I miss you. Why are you two here ? " I asked.

" Can you tell us about the other suspect ? " Asher asked

" Vivian is my ex girlfriend. She is a dark haired woman with fair skin, freckles and green eyes " V quickly answered his question.

" Is she also a representative ? "

" No, she's working as the creative director of  Wheaper's fashion "

" Do you have any liquor here ? " Asher asked

" I have wine . Let me bring it here "

" I want to see it before I take a sip "

" Follow me "

Asher's Pov

Victoria show me her wine collection. 

" I want the one on the top left "

" You have a very keen eye . This has been stored for so many years "

" The longer it's stored, the finer the taste. Can I call you Tori from now cause Victoria is just way too long for me to say ? "

" If I said yes, can I call you Ash ? "

" Yes, you may "

" Then, yes, you can call me Tori "

The door bell ringed.

" I'll check who is it "

Victoria's Pov

I run to the main door and open the door surprised to see.............
