I was lost in thought when Janiya suddenly approached me. “There you are, honey!”
She was smiling brightly, but when she looked at my face, she froze. Staring at the blood stain at the corner of my mouth, she asked, “Honey, what happened? Why is there blood on your mouth?”
“I’m fine. It was just an accident,” I answered absent-mindedly. Janiya reached out to touch my lips. But I avoided her subconsciously. Seeing this, Janiya looked a little disappointed. “I see.”
Then she quickly changed the subject and put on a bright smile. “By the way, Honey, were you being serious earlier? That you’ll marry me?” “You can’t!” Damien roared angrily before I could answer her.
“Damien, calm down,” I said helplessly, trying to comfort him.
! Now that I know the truth, I can’t keep it from you anymore, Caleb. I’ve never liked Janiya. I didn’t say anything because you didn’t have a mate before, but now that I know that Debra’s your mate, I can’t keep silent. You have to be with your destined mate to be happy!” Damien said with conviction.
The wonderful feeling of being with one’s mate was indescribable. Damien and I had just gotten a taste of what it felt Like, and now, he didn’t want to settle for anyone other than Debra.
“Don’t worry, Damien. I have a plan.”
After consoling Damien, I weighed the pros and cons and ended up choosing to lie to Janiya. “Marriage is a big deal, Janiya. I can’t make the decision alone. I need to discuss it with your family first.” “Okay!”
Janiya nodded, her eyes Lighting up excitedly
I smiled back at her, but my heart was full of mockery.
Janiya was a shallow woman. She didn’t give a damn about the real purpose of my trip; she just wanted to be my Luna.
But I didn’t have the time to worry about that. What bothered me most right now was the issue regarding my mate.
Normally, destined mates should be able to recognize each other the moment they met, but I hadn’t felt anything for Debra before today. Was there something wrong with Damien? How could he not recognize Debra as my mate until now?
Thinking of this possibility, I couldn’t help but frown tightly.
Damn it! I had caused Debra so much pain and suffering. Was it too Late for me to make amends?
Debra’s POV:
I drove back to the hotel as soon as I got Harlan’s call.
The second I opened the door to the room, Harlan looked at me and said seriously, “Judging from what our source just told me, I’m guessing that the project Adam and Caleb are working on together is the construction of a Large chemical plant.”
“A chemical plant? The documents the killer stole from Adam’s office also contained a lot of information about a chemical plant, so you’re probably right. There’s just one thing I don’t understand. Roz Town suffers from a shortage of manpower. Building a chemical factory here would be economic suicide. Caleb is not an idiot. Why would he invest in such a futile project?”
Harlan shook his head. “I don’t know either.”
“Maybe Caleb’s motive is the key to all of this,” I mused.
