Larissa's Game of Thrones (Larissa) novel Chapter 876

Larissa toyed with her fork. “Exactly. The idea came to me after Lucius took her away. If he wants to use Honora’s hatred for me as a weapon, I can turn it right back around and use her against him.”

“I have a witness from when we captured Trudy,” Haskell offered. “She’s ready to cooperate whenever you need her.”

“Good. It won’t be long now,” Larissa said. “I’ve already sent someone undercover as a student at the Luminary Arts Centre to gather information from the inside, learn how the agency operates, and collect more evidence of them coercing and deceiving young women.”

Sapphira, returning from the kitchen, saw them still deep in serious conversation. “Alright, you two, time for dinner,” she announced with a smile.

Larissa put down her fork. “Okay! Tonight, we celebrate. The crisis at Judson Pharmaceuticals is officially over!”

After dinner, they went up to the third floor. As Larissa opened her bedroom door, Haskell said, “I’m going to take a shower first, then I’ll come find you.”

“Oh, okay,” Larissa replied. “I’ll shower too. You can just come straight into my room when you’re done. I’ll leave the door unlocked.”

After her shower, Larissa immediately called Nightveil. “First thing tomorrow morning, start buying trending spots online. We’re going to leak the dark secrets of the Luminary Arts Centre, step by step.”

“Understood, boss.”

Haskell arrived just then, closing the door softly behind him.

Hanging up, Larissa set her phone down and stretched languidly on the bed, supporting herself with her hands behind her. “All this scheming in Regal City is so much more complicated than just researching rare herbs back in the village.”

Haskell wheeled himself closer. “I just called Crispin, too. I told him to have the woman we rescued from the Centre write an exposé and get it published.”

As he spoke, he stood up from his wheelchair and sat down on the bed beside her.

Larissa turned her head, their eyes locking. The atmosphere in the room instantly grew charged.

“Mmm…”

Larissa’s body tensed. Her soft moan was captured between his teeth.

When the kiss finally ended, Larissa’s cheeks were flushed, her nightgown in disarray. Haskell was no better off, his bathrobe hanging open, revealing a strong, sculpted chest.

“What’s gotten into you tonight? So intense,” Larissa murmured, her eyes hazy and wanting more.

Haskell’s long fingers traced the smooth skin of her cheek. “My legs are almost ready. I just wanted to… warm up a little.”

He paused, a slow smile spreading across his face. “Are you looking forward to it?”
