Chapter 114
Selene shrugged it off, believing she was simply too tired and seeing things. They were just meeting for the first time; Kael had no reason to suddenly hate her. However, the flash of disdain that crossed his face discouraged her from approaching him with her questions.
After Kael left, Selene followed right behind him, making sure to keep a good distance until she got to her car.
Kace glared at Kael, wondering what he could be doing in Dreamscape building. Kael didn’t realize someone was glaring at him since Kace’s car was heavily tinted, hiding his figure.
His attention shifted to Selene whose shoulder was up and tense.
“What happened?” He asked.
“Nothing. I’m just tired,” she replied, leaning against the car seat, and closing her eyes shut, to let them relax for a while.
Kael glared at Selene’s car that just drove out of the gate. He pulled out his phone to make a phone call to someone.
“What’s it?” The person from the other side questioned, his tone impatient and irritated.
Kael frowned slightly, wondering what could be bothering Ezekiel. He only sounded like that when he was irritated with something. But he didn’t bother to ask.
“The woman who is involved with Xavier Wallace is starring in the same movie as me. I have a bad feeling about this,” Kael informed.
Ezekiel, who was currently looking into some business documents in his study room, paused his hands that were about to sign, a crease forming on his forehead.
“What p>
“Maybe he sent her to get some information out of me, or spy on me,” Kael added, which only made Ezekiel’s frown deepen even more.
First, it was Robert Harrison who came to his father’s office to bargain signing half of their family’s assets in his name, just so he could give back his sister who had been missing for a long time.
And now, his mortal enemy, Xavier Wallace had sent a woman to spy on Kael.
“Are you sure of what you are saying?” He asked, doubt evident in his tone.
Even though he was no longer associated with Xavier after what happened in the past, it didn’t seem like something Xavier would do. It had been more than two decades since their paths had crossed.
’Why would he send someone to spy on Kael?’ He couldn’t help but wonder.
“Tell me more about this woman,” he said.
Kael went on by telling Ezekiel the name of the woman which he wrote down immediately. When Kael was done with his narration, Ezekiel concluded that his brother was simply overreacting to the situation.
A lot of people were being casted in the same movie, it could be a mere coincidence.
“She starred in a movie before, and you are telling me you are suspicious because she’s starring in the same movie as you?” He nearly snapped, regretting being alert earlier.
“She’s someone who is associated with Xavier, of course, I have to be suspicious,” Kael defended.
Ezekiel sighed over the phone.
“Look, it’s in the middle of the night. I suggest you go home, take a long shower and sleep. You are overthinking things. I will do my research on her, although I doubt she has anything on her,” said Kael.
Without waiting for Kael to respond, Ezekiel hung up and immediately dialed another number.
“I will give you a name, send me everything you find out about that person,” he said, before spilling the name.
Not long after, a file was sent to Ezekiel.
He scrolled through the file, relaxing when he didn’t find anything dirty on her, except for the fact that she was rumored to be Xavier’s girlfriend which was acknowledged by the couple.
He stared at a picture of her which was released by Vogue Radiantia, his blue eyes lingering on hers.
He hissed, realizing he had just wasted his time on something insignificant.
His eyes landed on another file next to the one currently open. It was the one regarding Anastasia Harrison, his sister.
Surprisingly, his men couldn’t find any pictures of her on the internet, despite the family’s influential status. He found it odd, especially considering he discovered she was once the assistant of the second daughter, a role that should have placed her in the public eye.
Despite thorough searches and digging through various social media platforms and online archives, they came up empty-handed.
If she did have a picture, it had vanished from the internet and escaped even his hackers’ detection. The thoroughness of her digital erasure was too strange for him to comprehend, leaving him puzzled and suspicious.
Robert was indeed a powerful person, but Ezekiel doubted he would be able to make someone’s appearance completely disappear without a trace.
Ezekiel couldn’t help but think Robert had asked for help from someone more powerful than him.
Ezekiel shut his eyes closed, sighing out loud as his tense muscles relaxed. He closed the file and focused back on the document he was reading earlier.
“It’s only a matter of time,” he mumbled under his breath.
The following day arrived and Selene got herself busy with her shoot and new movie.
Meanwhile, Xavier was at the hideout training ground.
He fired bullets at the dummy a few feet away, his eyes narrowed in concentration. Each shot rang out with a sharp crack, and he made sure every bullet struck the X sign located on the chest.
“Your aim has always been clean, I’m jealous,” Kace commented, focusing on the X sign on the dummy in front of him. He made a shot but didn’t hit the chest as he had expected to.
“It takes practice, Kace, which you haven’t been doing lately. You keep running off somewhere. Where have you been going off to lately?” Xavier asked, filling his gun with more bullets.
“Just having fun,” he shrugged, an image of Allison flashing in his mind. “Did you know that Kael Clark is starring in the same movie as Selene?” He asked.
