Chapter 304: Chapter 304

"We have concentrated the investigation on people from your side, but from what Madam described about her father, I think it may be worth looking into that too..."

Ian pondered this for a while and then replied, "You can’t even find anything about something that happened a month ago; how can you find anything about an event that happened twenty years ago?"

Currey hung his head, knowing that it was his negligence, so he did not mention anything about that. Back in their lands, he would have probably been executed for this gross incompetence.

He had been trained better than that but Currey just could not find anything! The person was overly careful in covering their tracks which only led to the fact that it may be a nonhuman as well. That was the only viable explanation!

"Tyler and Aliya’s investigation is also going on, but nothing points to the fact that they were anything but human. Could Ingrid have also been adopted?"

Ian remained quiet and then said, "I don’t think so. Ingrid is the spitting image of her mother. Continue digging into Tyler and ensure you do not miss any details!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Currey wanted to ask if there was a possibility that Ingrid’s father was different, but he had checked that already, and with no facts, he did not dare spew nonsense.

"As for last week’s incident at the wine tasting, we found the culprit who laced the wine, but she is just a human who was bribed to do that. She does not know who bribed her, but the contents show that someone is manipulating this from the back. The police have apprehended her and are still looking for Avril, too."

"Should I tip them off on where Avril is?"

"Not yet; let her enjoy the life she has chosen for a bit first."

Elsewhere, Avril sneezed once, twice, and then the third time; then she rubbed her nose vigorously. She wondered if it was Shelby, who was talking behind her.

She barely remembered what had previously happened to her, but Avril knew that she was toast. They had drugged her, but there were snippets of things she remembered.

They had been several men in masks in the room who watched her being fucked. They would occasionally give instructions on what they wanted to do to her and watch on in fascination.

She got off her bed just as another man walked in with a syringe in his hand, and her heart sank. Once they knew she was bringing in the attitude of a wealthy young miss, they had started introducing her to the drugs.

It was as if they wanted her to understand that under them, she was nothing! She was at their mercy, and there was nothing she could do. She started cursing herself for going with that man who had called himself Big Brother but what was done had already been done.

In the office, Currey continued,

"Do not worry about her; tomorrow is the day for her. My Elfin said to do to her exactly as Brianna had wanted to do to her. You know what to do, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness, the gift has been delivered, and we’ll wait for her action at the festival tomorrow as the invite has already been sent."

Ian nodded, and a wicked glint flashed through both their eyes,

"As for the other culprit. I think he or she remains at large. I have the inclination to believe that the culprit is the same in all three instances that madam had had those accidents."

That caught Ian’s attention as he also thought back to what he thought he saw at the warehouse where Shelby had been trapped.

"Investigate more on that!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Ian turned his attention to a document in front of him, but then, still sensing Currey there, he raised his head and asked,

"Errrmmmm... your father... he-"

"Ready to talk about that now?" Ian looked amused, but then he added,

"Let’s talk about this later."

Currey hesitated because he had tried his best to help Ian adjust to what he was from childhood, but the subject about which parent and anything about the Fae parent had been vague. However, after Geneva talked about it, Currey knew it was time to have that full conversation. He was slightly guilty, but he knew that timing was everything in their world.

"Yes, your Highness!"

Currey turned, left the room and went back to his tasks for the day.

The first light rays pushed their way into the plush apartment. It was every man’s dream in the heart of town, but few youngsters could afford it. It had the bare minimum of furniture. A table and chair with a desktop on it, A large bed in one corner, a small kitchen and a bathroom.

However, the place was unkempt, with clothes thrown haphazardly around; a delicate bra and panty could be seen among the pile as well. Dishes were piled up in the sink as if they hadn’t been washed for days, and plastic disposable cutlery and plates overflowed from the kitchen bin.

"That girl is so full of herself! So, she did not call me even once throughout this time? What kind of girlfriend is that?" Josh lamented on his bed in his apartment. It had been weeks since he last saw his girlfriend, Ava, and thought she was playing hard to get. After Rocky had warned him off, he had turned his frustrations and sentiments onto the other girls who had been fawning around him.

Josh had always been a handsome young man, and many girls chased him day and night. He had only turned to Ava because she did not conform to the normal. She did not lust after him as the other girls did, and Josh’s only mission had been to get her into bed, but he never knew that it would be so challenging to do that.

For starters, Josh did not need to attach the label of ’girlfriend’ to anyone he wanted to sleep with. One-nightstands were his middle name but he was astonished when he realized that he had to become Ava’s boyfriend to sleep with her. Imagine his surprise when he also realized that he had to court her. Like, who did that?

Josh picked up his phone for the hundredth time and stared intently at the screen as if doing that would magically bring Ava’s call in.

"She is okay with sleeping with disgusting old men and younger men but not someone as handsome as I am? Who the fuck does she think she is?"

Josh’s anger started going up just as his bathroom door opened.

"What is wrong, dear?"

A female voice purred as a naked woman sashayed into the room. She did a 360 in front of him and then lay down directly on him.

"Fuck off! Weren’t you just in the bathroom? Why would I miss you?"

She smiled and rubbed her body against his, feeling him start to swell up. "Did you clean up after using the bathroom?"

"You are too much of a clean freak!" She pouted, gave him a wet kiss, but still stood up and headed back to the bathroom. At the door, she paused and then looked meaningfully at him.

"You know Josh, that bitch will be at the festival if you’d like to see her."

"What are you talking about?"

"The girl you have been pining for?"

"Who? Me? Josh never pines for anyone! Are you imagining things?"

The girl, Swya, who had taunted Ava on the phone the previous time, smiled. She was in for a good show. Josh thought his girlfriend was in the dark about his dealings. That was just in his dreams. She was in to get Josh and stopped at nothing to get him.

"Oh! Never mind, then. I thought you wanted to see her. My bad for being nosy." Swya added, then stepped into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. A wide grin graced her face as she heard footsteps behind her.

The door re-opened just as she stepped into the shower and opened the faucet on full hot water. She liked to shower hot till her skin got red.

Josh stepped into the small shower behind her and internally cursed when the water touched his body. The water was too hot but he needed to bear with it for what he had come for. He lathered his hands. He started rubbing the soap all over her back and then worked his way to her front.

Swya leaned into him and closed her eyes, letting him do whatever he wanted with e her body.

"You were saying..." He whispered into her ear and lightly bit the lobe.

"She is in charge of some parts of the snacks that will be served in the Thornston stands. So if you want to see her, that is the best time."

"You mean this evening?"

"Mmmm,", Swya whispered and opened her legs wide to accommodate his pleasurable fingers.

Josh smiled, having achieved his aim and gave his full concentration to her.

’Such a stupid girl! Giving me info about another while we are in this position.... Tsk... tsk... tsk!’

’He thinks he got away with this.... Josh has no idea!’

Each had their own thoughts, and their movements turned frantic, and ambiguous sounds filled the room.
