Kaia’s POV
The drive back to my mansion was silent.
Not the peaceful kind.
The kind that felt like the world was holding its breath, waiting for something terrible to happen.
I knew what was waiting for me. Who else could it be except than the man who had asked me to kidnap the child since he turned not to be his grand child and the son of Damion.
Walter. He was waiting right there for me.
The moment I stepped inside, I barely had time to take off my coat before his voice cut through the air.
“You failed.”
I exhaled sharply, closing my eyes for a second before turning to face him. Who would have thought he would wait for my arrival and not sleep yet?
Walter Ryder stood near the grand fireplace, his usual mask of cold indifference replaced by something darker.
Disappointment.
