“I don’t buy it,” Kelly said, her face etched with suspicion.

She found it hard to trust Cecil.

After all, who knew if he could be trusted?

“Zev figured you’d doubt me, so he shared a secret that only the two of you know,” Cecil casually leaned against the wall, his tone teasing. “He mentioned how you always forget to add salt when cooking, how you kick in your sleep–often knocking him off the bed. He also said you toss his toothbrush in the trash when you’re mad, and that you…”

“Stop!” Kelly’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment. Had Zev lost his mind? Why would he disclose everything? Was Cecil to be trusted? Why would he know these details?

Had Cecil claimed that Zev gave him their home security code, Kelly might still have doubted him; after all, who was to say it was not coerced? However, Zev revealing such intimate, quirky details of their life together nudged Kelly towards belief.

“You caught him, and he still shared this with you?” Kelly clenched her teeth.

“He reached out before heading to Oasisvale. We staged a bit of theater because it was time to wrap things up,” Cecil flashed a sly smile.

This was the grand finale, allowing Cecil to return.

“What do you mean by that?” Kelly sensed the answer but needed confirmation.

“Apologies for the scare back in Congrelith,” Cecil scratched his head. “Both Zev and I are undercover. I was there before him, under Lucas’s orders, weaving through networks to collect evidence on the Drakonia crime syndicate. We’ve gathered what we need on Beau, just waiting for Zev to wrap his part.”

Zev was piecing together evidence on the mastermind behind Beau, Patrick.

So, as Zev had said, when he returns … perhaps everything will be resolved.

The net could either close tightly or unravel entirely.

Victory or defeat, it remained uncertain.

Kelly stood, stunned, processing the revelation.

Cecil, too, is an undercover agent…

His acting skills surpass Zev’s.

It was no surprise he had managed to stay under the radar for so long.

“Is he in any danger?” Kelly asked, her concern evident despite trying not to pry too much.

“He’s got his teammates, Charles and Herman, with him,” Cecil remarked casually, a cigarette dang… his lips. “You shouldn’t linger here too long. You need to get moving.”

“Marrying that Shawn person was a smart move, smarter than Zev. But if you ever think about remarrying I’d get you a gift,” Cecil quipped. “Or, when Zev gets back, you could divorce him and choose me instead. I noticed you before he did.”

Kelly could not help but think Cecil’s undercover role had molded him with a touch of a rogue’s charm.

Yet, he was one of their own, and Kelly found it hard to be too stern with him.

“Take care, get some rest,” Kelly said, then climbed into her car.

Cecil gave a small wave, his smile lingering as he watched her drive away.

His smile then faded as he lit another cigarette.

He was not kidding about his feelings for Kelly before Zev entered the picture. While Cecil was dedicated to his career, Zev was already making his move and won Kelly over from under Lucas‘ nose.

By the time Cecil caught on, it was too late; Zev had already captured her heart.

The old resentment from that gunshot lingered, whether he admitted it or not.

Back at her place, Kelly lay awake in bed for a long while, eventually bursting into laughter.

The news that Zev was still alive was the best she had heard in ages.

That night, for the first time in what felt like forever, Kelly slept soundly.

The relief of knowing Zev was still out there brought her immense comfort.

Zev had opposed her marriage to Shawn, not out of jealousy, but to protect her from potential dangers. Cecil’s early return was because his undercover role had been too convincing, leaving neither Beau nor Assad wary of him.

“Zev, you need to come back soon. Otherwise, I might really have to marry Shawn …” Kelly whispered softly before drifting off into a deep sleep.

The next day brought early news that Beau had been spotted on the west side of the city.

His reappearance stirred up more public attention, with each sighting leading to more scandals being exposed and increasing the public’s disdain for him.

Kelly understood that Patrick was orchestrating these events to shift the blame onto Beau.

“Kelly, they’re setting my dad up to take the fall for everything!” Clarissa called Kelly in a trembling voice. “Every time he forces my dad into the open and exposes those scandals, he’s trying to clear his own name. Once he’s done, he’ll have shifted all the blame onto us, and he’ll be free of any guilt…”

By then, Clarissa and Beau would be doomed.

If they were eliminated, there would be no one left to challenge Patrick’s narrative.

H

Patrick would remain hidden, his image as a legitimate entrepreneur intact, enjoying á peaceful retirement.
