A cold, calculating smile tugged at Rosita's lips as she contemplated her little victory.
Just then, her phone started ringing again—an unfamiliar number this time.
Rosita didn't think much of it and hung up right away.
After taking a shower and getting changed, she found her phone still buzzing insistently with the snumber. She hesitated, but finally answered. "Hello? Who is this?" "It's me. Ottilie Kensington." A woman's voice cthrough the line. "I have something you might want. How about we make a deal?" Rosita frowned. "What is it?" "It's about Briony." Rosita's brows shot up. Something about Briony? "What is it?" she repeated, more cautious this time.

A rather important patient askedto come, so they flewin by private jet," Ferdinand replied, his voice warm and gentle. "It'll take stto manage the case, so I'll be staying here for a while." Briony's eyes curved with a smile. "Little Nina will be thrilled to hear that." "I've missed her, to be honest." Ferdinand added, "Are you free this afternoon?" "I am, but Little Nina doesn't get out of school until four." "How about we have dinner together?"
