I hate to admit it, but I barely trust anyone.

“You should rest, and head to the safe house. Valerie has made a yummy
have some work to attend to.” I say, kissing his cheek.
“You’re treating me as if I’m old.” He says.
I smile and shake my head.
“No, just that you need to take care of your mental and physical health.” I remind
him,
“And are you doing that?” Dad asks me.
I have no answer to that, and I motion for my guards to take him home.
I have been training with Justin, Jai and Atticus depending on who was available and although I am
getting better,I also know it’s not enough time to become a master of the arts, but every little thing
helps.
As for Valerie, finding out that Atticus is her brother made her warm up to him a little more, much to
Jai’s dismay.
I still haven’t told them about Sebastian, but I also can’t tell anyone openly in case we’re being
watched, even inside our homes.
Atticus risked it that day, and I hope Sebastian is alive- no I know he’s alive. He wouldn’t die so easily,
not when he had a mission to accomplish. I hope he’s safe and that we have not given him away.
I get into my car telling my driver to take me to the Toussaint business headquarters as I need to attend
to some business work.
I sit here, talking politely to Harrison. This act of mine is a painful reminder that the world carries on
even when things are rough. For those on the outside, no one knows what one might be going through.

He’s happy with the final draft and wants to give us the go–ahead. Yet again another reminder that I
have to keep my chin up.
I close the file after we have both signed the papers, and he’s ready for the official proposal to go
ahead.
“I am happy that I gave this project to you, Ms Toussaint, and I will look forward to the work getting
underway.”
“Thank you, Mr Harrison. I do appreciate it. We will not disappoint.” I reply
gracefully, as we both stand up.
“Well, this now is what I call the hard part. Bringing the project to life.”
“Oh no, now that we have all the details finalised, I think this part will be fairly smooth and if there are
any blips, then that is my job to handle,” I say as I walk him
to the door.
He chuckles. “I do like your confidence! Ah, before I forget, the files… Here.” He rummages in his
briefcase and takes out a brown envelope.
Files? He didn’t need to give me any files….
“Well, have a good day Ms Toussaint!” He fastens the button of his suit jacket and slips out of the room
before I can ask him, leaving me with the brown envelope.
I glance around the empty office. I’m in the Toussaint building, but we all agreed it would be the safest
place for a meeting considering all that has happened before,
like the shooting..
Closing the door, I walk back to the desk and open the file, scanning it swiftly.
It’s… Sebastian’s old proposal for this project. Why would he give me this?
Feeling uneasy, I flip through it.
How strange…
I stare down at the file, thinking there has to be more to it. Did someone put him up
to this and why?
Is there poison on the paper?
I sniff it but there’s nothing.
Is it a warning?
Just then, there’s a knock on the door.

“Enter!” I say, looking up to see the door open to reveal Atticus standing there, briefcase in hand. “Ah,
perfect.” My secretary knew to let him in.
From the confident, smug expression on his face, I am certain that the briefcase he is carrying contains
some answers.
