Damian carefully tucked the blanket around Isabelle and stepped quietly out of the room.

During the few hours Isabelle was missing, something unexpected had happened. It was hard to say if it was a coincidence of deliberate.

Celeste’s villa had exploded.

The preliminary investigation ruled out a gas leak as the cause. At the scene, besides Celeste’s fingerprints, they’d also found Isabelle’s.

Damian’s eyes darkened.

And Celeste claimed she never turned the stove on.

“What are the police saying?” Damian asked.

“Ms. Snow insists she didn’t light the stove. With Mrs. Cross‘ fingerprints at the scene, she’ll likely be called in for questioning.” Briar analyzed. “It can’t be a coincidence. Based on what you said about your clothes getting stained, it’s not hard to guess… Some things leave a trail.”

Damian gave a humorless smile.

If Isabelle wanted to hurt her, why would she leave such obvious traces?

Isabelle is meticulous. If she had a problem with Celeste, she wouldn’t cause a huge scene that only puts her at a disadvantage.

Damian pulled out his phone. It showed no signs of being damaged from a fall.

Celeste declined the call at that critical moment. Did she know something ahead of time and not want anyone to find out?

“Dig deeper,” Damian said, pulling a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it awkwardly.

He almost never smoked. But after reviewing the security footage and seeing Isabelle being kidnapped, his heart had been in his throat. He’d suddenly craved one.

His hands were shaking.

“That manager who closed the eighty–million–dollar deal at headquarters last month… what was his name?” he suddenly asked.

“Barry Connolly,” Brian replied.

“Right.” Damian exhaled a cloud of smoke. The faint haze blurred his vision behind his glasses.

Soon after, Celeste’s parents, Sean Snow and Keira Snow, arrived.

Celeste was asleep. After checking on Celeste and speaking briefly with the doctor, Sean and Keira stepped out of her ward and ran into Damian in the hall.

“Damian, thank you so much for this. If it weren’t for you, Celeste…” Keira said, her face etched with worry.

Sean quickly cut her off, “She’s fine now. Let’s not dwell on what could have happened.”
