Reno was right. If they slept together, it would mean marriage. She had no desire to be shackled to a childish, obsessed madman.
“Sir, I have the report. Eleanor Yeast has always had it out for Mrs. Ford. Earlier, there was a confrontation with Victor Noir. He and his people are gone now, and Mrs. Ford has Eleanor locked up. But something seems wrong with Eleanor’s condition. Clark said.
Julian stared out the window at the full moon. “Explain.”
Clark continued, as she was being dragged away, she was grabbing at the legs of the men around her. It looked like she was poisoned. After a thorough investigation, I discovered she purchased Lustbane. She must have been planning to use it on Mrs. Ford.”
Julian shot to his feet. “Where is she now!”
“Mrs. Ford is at a villa in the suburbs. Her aide, Reno, has been researching eighteen–year–old, physically fit men. Just looking for now. no action has been taken. Also, Thorn Noir is heading that way.”
Clark finished his report and kept his head down, afraid of the st
storm about to break.
Sienna had been poisoned. And if she didn’t want to suffer permanent damage, she would have to use that method.
“Go. Julian ordered, his voice dangerously low. “Get Thorn into a hospital. Just make sure you don’t kill him.”

Clark snorted in disdain.
The boss really doesn’t know his ov
own limits.
Thorn knew Lustbane was no joke. Even with Sienna’s army of talented people, without taking the natural route, the drug would leave its mark on her body.
He slammed his foot on the accelerator. As he rounded a corner, a car shot out of nowhere. He had no time to swerve before it slammed
into him.
Thorn was seeing red. Blind idiot. Doesn’t know how to drive.
He scrambled out of the wreck, his hand coming away from his head sticky with blood. He gritted his teeth and roared, “Couldn’t you see the red light? Are you blind? Don’t you have fucking eyes?”
A disguised Clark, now appearing as a woman, scurried over to Thorn.
“Oh, sir, I’m so so sorry! Oh my god, you’re bleeding! I’ll take you to the hospital. Clark said
Thorn shoved his supporting hand away. “Don’t need it. Get lost.”
He had to get to Sienna. He didn’t have time to waste on this

He tried to wrench his arm free, but he couldn’t break his grip.
This woman is freakishly strong, he thought. Is she an ox?
“No! Sir, your life is more important than any appointment! I know you’re worried about money, but don’t be. I have plenty. I’ll pay for everything. Come on, let’s go.”
Clark practically manhandled him. forcing him into the car.
Thorn was trembling with rage, a vein throbbing in his temple. His head was pounding

Clark interrupted his speech, sir, your head is still bleeding. Here, let me wrap it with my scarf
