"I'll break down your walls one by one and sneak into the gates of your icy heart before crushing it into tiny pieces." He murmurs mercilessly as his lips lightly brush my ear, the contact eliciting an indescribable sensation through every inch of m...

The forest calls me, and I oblige.
As I stroll deep into the woods, my thoughts run in a thousand different directions.
One of the security guards trails my steps as we occasionally engage in small talk to pass the time.
If something ends up happening to me, the deeper I uncover secrets linked to Lolita's death, who can I trust to run the company in my absence?
While my first thought runs to Devin, he already has his hands full running his multi-million dollar tequila company.
And with a target on my back, it's becoming harder to trust anyone to succeed me as CEO if anything were to happen to me.
Establishing a succession plan, one that I would fully be satisfied with, is much more complicated than I anticipated.
After discovering the newspaper in Lolita's bedroom last week, I requested Cohen to do a thorough background check on Moreno Vilinski to identify if he had any connections to Lolita and her ex-boyfriend.
I intend to share my concerns with Ludovic before visiting Egan Veles tomorrow.
But nothing about the investigation will come into fruition if I don't learn how to use weapons for self-defence.
"Can you teach me how to use a gun?" I ask the security guard once we halt near a myriad of moss rocks, providing pathways for small waterfalls to cascade.
Bewilderment destabilizes his stoic face.
"That is way above my pay grade mam," he asserts in an oruntund voice.
"You're no fun Kace," My tone is disgruntled before I shift my gaze to admire the serene landscape view.
Silence falls, leaving behind echoes of water droplets pattering against rocks.
"Why do you want to use a gun?" Kace breaks the silence, "If you don't mind me asking?"
"For self-defence," I disclose, "I want to learn how to use it to protect myself if someone attempts to attack me again."
I refuse to let shock ever put me in a position where a person puts my life at risk.
Kace wears an unreadable expression.
Just when I'm beginning to regret my request, he says, "I'll think about it."
Not the answer I was expecting to hear, I swivel before trudging through the grove.
From a distance, I spot a majestic elk.
Its antlers swing from left to right as it forages for food among the oak trees.
My unabashed admiration for the creature is enough to silence my racing thoughts.
