Chapter 436:
There was no sign of anyone at all.
I was about to take out my phone to text Caden when a black van pulled over.
Two men got out, looked around, then took my bag from me.
“Did Caden send you?” I asked, but got no response.
After going through my bag, they ran a scanner over my body. They thought I had a tracker on me or something?
“Into the van,” one tipped his head. I got in, and we hit the road.
The ride was long and tiring. I couldn’t even see where we were headed in the van.
By the time we drove into the compound and stepped out, I took note of my surroundings. This was smaller than the mansion he’d previously been in. The men led me into the house, straight to where Caden was. My eyes rounded when I found him washing blood off his hands.
He glanced at me with a smile before returning his eyes to the sink where he washed his hands.

I kept quiet but pinned my serious gaze on him.
Getting the memo, he chuckled and dashed out to a room, returning shortly with the scroll in his hand.
“You know you can’t sign it now. It needs to be at night. There will be a full moon tonight, fortunately p>
“I know. I just want to go through it.” Opening my palm to him, he handed me the contract while I took a good look at it.
Basically, I was meant to serve him and do his bidding. I’d also have nothing to do with Jaris and his people. This was like asking me to become an enemy of the very people who had been family to me.
“I’d like to add something,” I said when I finished reading.
“And what would that be p>
