" That was surprisingly easy. Given how many skilled assassins they have sent after you, they are astonishingly dull. " Alec said with one of his eyebrows arched up, confusion apparent on his face. Lucian on the other hand quietly walked down the grand hall with confident strides.
" Stop fussing over tiny details, Alec. The show is about to begin. " Lucian said with a confident grin, even though his heart was racing out of his chest. Lucian couldn't understand if it was excitement or if he was, in fact, nervous. His eyes were scanning the area, everything was going according to the plan. There is no need to be nervous when he is sure of himself, right?
" No, Lucy, you don't understand, " Alec said with aggression as a crease formed on his forehead. Something seemed fishy to him. " It was too easy. What if they are purposefully trying to lure us in?" Alec said as an uneasy feeling rose inside his stomach.
" Stop overthinking it Alec. "
" Lucy, tell me something. "
" What? "
" How long did you plan this ? "
" 6 months, 2 weeks and 3 days. "
" Was I always a part of your plan ? "
" Yes, "
"That's it. " Alec pulled Lucian and dragged him through the narrow hall towards the washroom.
" WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING, ALEC? " Lucian almost screamed in rage as he resisted the sudden pulling endeavour. But, Alec is a beast and he knows it well.
Dragging him inside the washroom, Alec pushed Lucian towards the navy blue wall and looked at him with such fierce eyes that he could poke a hole through his skull.
" Lucian, I am going to be very honest about this. I never think twice before jumping in on plans with you. And that is because I trust you. But what we have here today is not some jump the gun situation. It is ride or die. And if you are telling me that you orchestrated this whole situation, set this stage up. All so that you can fulfil some twisted desire of yours. The least that you can do is tell me about it. " Alec growled in a lower register to keep himself from screaming. Alec is fiercely loyal to Norton. If he finds some random person on the streets saying one bad thing about Norton, Alec will not hesitate to beat them to a pulp. But Alec will actively betray Norton for Lucian. If Alec is ready to let go of his loyalty to you, the one thing he expects is honesty.
