Grumpy ass

 Lucian had a strong feeling Cedric was behind this but there was no evidence. He felt his sister's humiliation and could not believe why Cedric could do such a thing.

 

 "Pray I don't find any evidence tying you to what happened," Lucian said. Cedric was completely unbothered and shrugged, averting his eyes from Lucian. 

 

 "If you can excuse me I have something of great importance to handle. Good luck with your investigation. I hope you find what you are searching for." His voice was taunting. No fear or remorse and this triggered Lucian. His hands clenched as he watched Cedric leave.

 

 Cedric was a cocky bastard. Lucian felt a soft hold on his hand, which made him relax as he glanced to his side to see Callista. Her clear blue eyes calm his rage, boiling inside him.
