Adrian's POV
The frustration was eating away at me as I sat in the police station, feeling utterly defeated. Neither Patterson nor Nathaniel had been dealt with, and the latter still wouldn't leave Stella alone. Inspector Aurora sat beside me, his face showing sympathy for my predicament, though he had some news that offered a tiny spark of hope in this mess.
"What have you got for us, Aurora?" Damon asked, straightening in his chair with renewed interest.
"Let's start with our surveillance on Nathaniel," Aurora began. "He hasn't left his current residence since his release. As we discussed, he's staying with the woman who visited him in prison—clearly a mistress."
While Aurora spoke, my mind flashed to the store where Stella worked. There had been someone there—a colleague who had connections to Nathaniel.
"Do we have a name for this woman?" I interjected. "Nathaniel had a mistress at Stella's workplace."
