*****Erika's POV*****
"Tell me what about Avenir City?" I asked in surprise. Jace sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
"A few days back, I visited Fagel." He announced and I blinked. Fagel? Dad's driver?
"Where Is he?"
"At the hospital, but he has already recovered fully and is perfectly fine now." He added and I nodded in return.
"What about him?"
Jace looked into my eyes, breathed out and began his story.
"I visited Fagel a few days back and there he told me about a certain lady who came to him in his ward, asking for help in taking down the same masked people with the logo. Fagel went ahead to ask if she knew anything about them, but she said she knew nothing except that this organization was linked to a family in Avenir City named The Wren Family." He paused, watching my face and a frown appeared on it.
"The Wren Family?" I asked and he nodded in return.
"There are so many Wren families in Avenir, which one of them did she refer to?" I asked him.
He shrugged, "That's the thing, we don't know the particular Wren family responsible for it. I've asked someone to check all Wren families, but none seemed suspicious enough. That's why, I decided to go to the City with Fagel to find a particular Family."
I shook my head instantly.
"This is dangerous, Jace. That nurse might be one of them and this might be a plot to bring you and Fagel over there. I can't let you risk your life again, never. So it's either I go to Avenir by myself to find the truth, or we send some guards, you just can't go."
Jace glared at me and scoffed, "As if you can stop me. What if this is true and this is just the gateway we needed for a breakthrough in finding their master minder?" I watched him with a worried look in my eyes.
This was going to be the most dangerous mission Jace would ever take on. What if this was a trap? What happens if Jace is killed?
"But Jace...." I began to say when he placed a hand over my lips. "Rika please, let me do this. We have to find the person responsible for the life we lived so far. We need to find who is responsible for our father's condition and we need to finish up the entire enemies before he gets better. So allow me to do this, I'll find out the truth and we'll live happily." He said convincingly and I bit down on my lower lip, trying to stifle to cry about to burst out.
If truly he could make a breakthrough on this journey, then I would have no choice but to let him go.
Jace was no child to be tied down at home, so I would let him do as he pleases.
"You can go, but please take the guards too, not just Fagel." I pleaded and he nodded.
"Sure, now go back and continue the preparations while I get ready." He said and stood up straight.
"I'll ask them to get the private plane ready for you."
"Sure, thanks." I nodded before standing up straight to walk out of the room and downstairs.
I asked the butler to prepare for Jace's departure. I would make sure that he at least lived well like the royalty he is.
I placed a call across to Avenir and booked a hotel from their most expensive one there.
After these things were sorted, I went towards Jace's room to inform him about it. Just then, I saw Kat dragging a suitcase out and coming towards Jace's room.
I frowned, raising a questioning brow.
