Everything started five years ago. 

Elise Collins was framed, left everything behind, and ran away, never wanting to even take a glance at it again. However, news of her being pregnant spreads like a wildfire in the city, and her thought that someone will be able to help her, crumbles as everyone avoids her like she’s a curse.

In a snap, she had no place to return to. 

Defeated, she aspires to become stronger, and that happened when she came back five years later, already a top hacker.

As soon as Axel Carter knows it, the father of the child she gave birth to, he instantly chases her. Trapped in the hospital, he confronts her.

With those scarlet raging eyes, his teeth gnash. "Do you know the price of playing with me, woman?"

My jaw becomes slack, mouth wide open with shock. I guess that explains Chastity's sudden change of tact, back at Midnight Fire. Heck, she even tried to stop me from leaving. Not to mention Ryan's withdrawal; the reason for his outburst. I really don't know how to react to this.

"I'm guessing things didn't go very well..." I hesitate. "Since Ryan is sulking here, and Chastity has left for Redfern again."

"Yeah, you got that right." Dante clicks his tongue. "On the upside, it opened Chastity's eyes. She realised that you're not so bad after all. Now you know for sure; there's nothing going on between us."

"Still doesn't explain what you've got hidden down that yellow brick road." I blurt out, unaware of boundary I should be sticking to.

Dante becomes guarded, once more. I wince internally, hoping I haven't prodded the beast within. After a few moments of silence, he clears his throat.
