“I heard what happened to Jessy but | kept getting different versions of it so | couldn't wait till morning to find
out what was happening. | had to cover.” He responded, settling into the hair opposite me.
| watched Smith for a full minute without speaking and during that time, | just let my thoughts wander
concerning him. This was a man that had claimed to be too busy to cfor the little girl's party, now he
couldn't wait till morning to check up on her. He had cto my house in the middle of the night.
It confusedand maybe it was because of the recent happenings but all | wanted to do was send him away
and prevent him from talking to or seeing Jessy or Freya. But the worry that danced in his eyes made me
reconsider.

“Jessy was poisoned.” | delivered and | watched as Smith's eyes darkened as well as his entire body tense.
“What? By who? How did this happen? Where is she now?” Smith asked in one breath.
“Clara looked her over and we're hoping for a miracle. I'm not sure how it happened, since myself and Freya
stepped outside for a couple of minutes when it happened but | have a suspect.” | delivered.
Then | went ahead to give Smith all the details, the sway Freya had delivered them to me. He listened
intently with his face remaining a blank mask, his features only twitched at certain points.
Smith overall looked angry and worried. | couldn't be sure if | was exactly correct but | could also see sadness in
my Beta’s
eyes.
“Emilia? The raven haired girl? | saw her at the festival. | thought | saw her hanging around Roman, but I didn’t
have the tto approach her because she simply disappeared after a while. Plus, | saw Freya and Jessy there
too so | believed you were letting sof your handmaidens out for the night.” Smith finished.
Roman? My Gamma? He had been in the office earlier this afternoon with his son and had even helped with the
last preparations for Jessy’s birthday. Plus, Simon and Jessy had formed such a beautiful friendship that was so
amazing to watch, it made it difficult to see his father in a light that portrayed him as having any evil intentions
towards Jessy.
“What are you going to do? If you have all these information that point towards the Emilia girl then | think a little
torturing to get more is in order.” Smith said and | nodded to his words.
| fully intended on getting as much as | could from her tonight as well as making her suffer.
“She should be in the punishment room.” | said and we both stood up to exit the office.
Outside of the office, Smith paused in his steps, | raised my brows in question but my Beta was barely paying
any attention
to me.
“Can | check on Jessy? Please? I-I just want to be sure, she’s doing okay.” He said.
| bit my lips in thought, I didn’t want anyone close to Jessy without my supervision, it didn’t matter who they
were. But Smith looked like he was going to cry if | denied him.
“Con, let's go. A quick hello and you have to leave, she’s not very stable at the moment.” | said, and my
Beta nodded enthusiastically, almost like a child that had been given candy.

| shook my head at him but led him in the direction of my room where Jessy laid in the center of my bed. The
four years old, looked even smaller than her age and her pale skin troubledgreatly.
Her eyes moved behind her closed lid and | could only hope tha she was having a bad dream and it wasn’t
anything else. | felt her forehead and neck, and when she shivered a little, | drew the covers higher up her body,
before stepping back to allow Smith take a look at her.
“She’s so small and innocent, why would anyone want to do this to her?” He whispered, more to himself than
anyone else.

He stroked her cheeks lightly and the action sent a little jealousy up my spine. Maybe | was a little possessive of
mother and daughter but | couldn’t really be blamed if we were being honest
Smith wiped her forehead gently and with a last look her, he turned to me. His features even harder than they
had been before we cinto the room.
“I think we have a maid to torture and question.” He said, moving pastand out of the door.
