Chapter 104 

1 pushed open the glass doors of Vigilon’s headquarters, stepping into the cool, airconditioned lobby. The contrast between the blistering hear outude and the crisp chill inside sent a shiver dosen my spine, but I barely noticed My mind was too preoccupied with the envelope turked 

The reception area was sleek and modern, all glass walls and high ceilings, designed to project an air of power and efficiency. Even the floors were polished to a mirrorlike shine, reflecting the cold fluorescent lights above. It was exactly the kind of intimidating place I imagined Cillian Knight running- a space as sharp and unyielding as the man himself

I inhaled deeply, my fingers tightening around the strap of my bag as I approached the reception desk

His expression didn’t change, but there was a slight hesitation before he spoke. Do you have an appointment?” 

I tapped my finger on the counter, a nervous tic. No. But it’s important.” 

His lips pressed together as if debating whether to turn me away, but after a moment, he nodded. I’ll check if he’s available. Hease have a seat.” 

I turned toward the black leather chairs arranged neatly against the wall, but I didn’t sit

I couldn’t 

Instead, I crossed my arms, shifting my weight from one foot to the other as my gaze flickered to the pristine white walls

And behind that desk, sprawled lazily in his chair like he owned the entire world, was Cillian Knight

He wasn’t even looking at me 

He was leaning back, one hand resting on the arm of has chair, lingers tapping sily against the leather while his other hand moved over keyboard. The glow from his screen cast sharp shadows across his face, and his mouth curled into a slow, cocky smile

I swallowed. My nervousness or the fact that I was unsettled was probably clear from my

I reached into my bag, pulled out the envelope, and dropped it onto his desk

Callian took his time packing in up

Slowly. Deliberately 

His jaw tightened as he slid out the photographs. The second his eyes landed on the first image, his entire body tensed 

His fingers curled around the edge of the picture. He flipped to the next one. His grip tightened

Another. Then another

An incredulous laugh escaped me before I could stop it but his face remained completely serions

My place is much more secure than yours.His voice was cool, composedbut there was a steel edge beneath it, something unyielding and 

Escolled you can’t possibly think- 

You came to me for help. His tone darkened, his eyes narrowing Tm trying to help you” 

“I came to you, yes, with the expectation of getting a bodyguard or something. Not running away from my home like a frightened child.”
