His eyes narrowed at me, looking me up from head to toe in a slow almost seductive manner. I tried my best not to shudder from the intensity in his glassy blue orbs. I watched as he slowly licked his lips, curving them into a sly smile.

Three months. It had been three months and I had yet to get a trail on Lorenzo.
Hayden constantly assured me that there was no rush in finding him, but I knew better. I had failed at the one task he had given me. Although, he did not show it, I could feel his remorse.
"Ugh, I hate Greek yogurt." Stephanie walked into the room while rubbing her stomach. Despite her pale complexion, she had a certain glow in her eyes.
"You love Greek yogurt," I replied as I stared at her with concern.
"Either that brand makes the worst Greek yogurt, or it was spoiled," Stephanie grumbled as she sunk into the large couch in front of my desk. "What did the prince want?"
"He was just checking up on any progress. He says he is not worried, but I know him. He's still grieving the death of his father. It doesn't help that he is the new King and has a psychopath on the loose." I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration. "Lorenzo is smart.

"I see you are still as friendly as ever."
I gave him an unamused expression and he sighed in defeat.
"Hayden sent me here," he replied. "He did not want to tell you because he fears Lorenzo may be intercepting the calls at the palace. However, I think we found him."
"What do you mean you found him?" How could he have possibly found him.
"I knew my brother would flee the country since he had no allies left in Italy. They were all dead or imprisoned. So, I did some digging and I found someone who knew where he was."
