Arianas breath caught as she clutched her sleeves, her mind racing.
If not Bennett, who else commanded such foreign forces? Holden attempted to coax Ariana into resting, but
seeing it was futile, he resigned himself to analyzing the situation with her.
Then, a ntumbled from Arianas lips, one that struck Holden Like a sharp gust of wind.
Zayden! Arianas eyes widened.
Is it possible that Zayden isnt dead? Could he have resurfaced? And isnt Conata Zaydens base of operations?
This must be Zaydens doing.
Who else could have pulled off something like that? Sadie? No, | doubt it.
Even if she could kidnap Melon, theres no way she could have captured Moss.
Holdens brow furrowed deeply at the mention of Zayden.
Holden believed Ariana might be right.
Zayden had vanished after the confrontation at the warehouse.
He had sent people to track Zayden down, but Zayden had seemingly evaporated into thin air, leaving no trace
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbehind. Could Zayden still be alive? Three days had passed quickly.
Moss, having struck a favorable deal with Zayden, felt no immediate urgency to begin his work on the drugs.
For now, he was basking in the calm of his vacation, savoring a glass of wine as he gazed out at the endless
ocean.
Soon, Zayden approached Moss in his wheelchair.
His patience was clearly wearing thin.
How long are you planning to just sit around and relax? Over the past three days, Moss hadnt so much as set
foot in the laboratory! Moss swirled his wine glass lazily.
You drugged and kidnapped me, remember? Quite the ordeal.
Naturally, | need tto recover from that.
How else could | possibly muster the energy to work for you? He fixed Zayden with a pointed look.
Wheres Melon? | want to see him first.
When Zayden heard that Moss wanted to see Melon, his lips curled into a sly smile.
Well, well, look at you.
Seems like youre more interested in that boy than | am... Dont tellhes connected to you in sway? Moss,
unbothered by Zaydens probing, set down his glass of red wine with a soft clink.
No, its not that | am interested in him.
Its just that kids like him dont caround often.
Hes got a sharp mind, that one.
Throw a few potion codes his way, let him fiddle with singredients, and hes likely to cup with
something on his own.
Zayden chuckled knowingly, a touch of sarcasm dancing in his eyes.
Yeah, youre right about that.
Melons a clever one, no doubtjust like his father.
Though his words seemed to praise his nephew, beneath the surface, Zayden simmered with bitterness.
He hadnt forgotten how the boy had tricked him at the park.
That humiliation still gnawed at him. However, Moss wasnt inclined to agree.
He shot Zayden an uninterested glance.
Like his father? | dont see it, he said flatly.
If you ask me, he takes after his mother much more.
Melon was Arianas child, and he resembled Ariana.
Ariana, the daughter of Emilia, had inherited Emilias beautyespecially those bright, clear eyes.
No one else had eyes that similar to Emilias than Ariana, and Moss could never look at Ariana without searching
for the trace of Emilia on her.
Moss knew one thing for certain: Ariana loved her child more than anything.
She would move heaven and earth to keep him safe.
Moss didnt want to snuff out the light in Arianas eyes.
For that reason alone, he didnt want to kill Melon.
