“He was tall, very handsome to be quite honest, he was wearing a suit and he had a really nice ride.”
Jared’s face morphed into confusion.

“A suit? Are you completely sure?”
“I am. He looked sophisticated and very rich. You don’t forget that kind of person
Jared was now very confused. He thought it was Asher, he thought Asher was the one who had come to see her, because that seemed to be the only logical
explanation.
Even though he and Asher had fallen out, he still talked with Asher’s men and they had told him Asher was trying to reach out to Lori since she was
pregnant.
When he had visited Lori’s apartment and heard from her neighbor that she had not been home in weeks, he thought it was because of Asher. He thought Asher had taken her back with him, but now, he didn’t even know what to think, Hecause he was more confused than he had ever been.
Did Lori have another man in her life?!
And who was he?
“Give me her number.”
He said and Birdie nodded.
‘Give me a second.”
She said as she walked into the inner room.
She came back out a few minutes later with a piece of paper with a number written on it.
“That’s the contact number she put down in her application.”
Jared nodded.
He left the diner.
“It’s funny you picked this place for our meeting.”
It was a sushi restaurant. It was light and airy, with soft leather couches and plus cushions. He had been there once.
Sabine said as she laughed.
Draco had managed to close down the entire restaurant for them. They had met neutral ground, far away from their territories.
To be honest, Gabriel was surprised by how fast she had responded to his messag It was almost as if she had been eager to meet him and help.
It was also very suspicious, given how angry she had been by the Council’s decis after they found her guilty of misconduct.
Gabriel looked around. Of course he remembered the restaurant. They once had date in it, their first date.

He cringed inwardly as he remembered that he had once gone out with Sabine.
Gabriel shrugged.
“Mere coincidence.”

It was not. He had picked it exactly for the sentimental value that Sabine might tach to it. It was merely a ploy to tug at her heart strings. Nothing more.
“I assume this is about Suzie?”
She asked and Gabriel nodded.
found it distasteful that she would leave them out like that, but for some
Vara stood at the opposite end of the room, sharpening her claws with a knife. H reason she seemed to think they looked intimidating, as if the scar on her face wasn’t intimidating enough.
“You guessed right.”
“You mentioned you knew about her family. Well, I’d like to know what you know! Suzie never shared anything about her family with me.”
Sabine nodded, a smile playing on her red lips.
“And why the sudden interest? You certainly didn’t care to find out about them when she died.”
Ouch.
That was true, he previously didn’t care.
In fact, he had done very little to find out her family, he just assumed they didn’t exist.
“It’s very important I do. I want my daughter to be close to them.”
Sabine scoffed.
“They’re not the kind of crowd to get close to.”
“Why?”
He asked and she shrugged as she settled back in her seat, adjusting the front of her blouse in a way that allowed more of her cleavage to show.
Gabriel resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
“What’s in it for me?”
“I mean, up until a few days ago you wanted to throttle me.”
She added and he ignored her question.
“What do you want in return? Money? Land?”
He asked and she glanced at Vara who was smirking at him.
“You’re really that desperate?”

She asked and Gabriel sighed.
“Will you help me or not?”
“Fine. I’ll help. I only ask for one thing in return.”
“What is it?”
Sabine leaned towards him, her hands on the table in between them, her eyes staring at him slyly.
“Give me your word.”
“My word?!”
Gabriel asked as he turned to Draco who quickly shook his head.
“My word that what?”
He asked and she shrugged.
“Just give me your word. A time will come when I ask a favor from you, I need to be sure that you’ll do it, no matter what it is.”
“Stop playing games Sabine.”
He warned and Sabine shrugged.
“I’m not. But that’s all I want in return and if you cannot give me your word, then I have nothing else to do here…”
She said as she stood up, picking her purse from the table and she started walking away, her steps slow, calculated.

Gabriel groaned as he massaged his temple, examining his choices. Making a deal with Sabine was stupid, very stupid, especially since she could demand for
