Tia. 

Caleb was surprised that I knew what he was trying to keep from me. I knew we had lost our might. I was counting on it, so I decided to put the money into procuring weaponry instead of funding the military. The region that had stayed with us had remained even though we did not give them money. Clearly, their loyalty was absolute, and those were the people to trust. I wasn‘t happy when Luke said I would not be coming with them on the assault mission, but I understood his viewpoint. I knew he was being protective. I doubted I would be as efficient as I used to be, especially now that I was showing. Remaining behind the scenes and drawing out the plans was the best job for me. So when Luke said no, I did not push back. I accepted it and looked forward to ending Luis Moon. 

The Press conference was rushed and very brief. Luke only addressed the people out of respect, but we had bigger things to worry about like the underground war. 

After the conference, Kirk informed us of the arrival of the first shipment of the weapons we procured. I was glad we would have something to use against the people of Tetra. There was a time I would have kicked against wiping the place out but right now, I couldn‘t. The man was too damn dangerous. Any territory that managed to break away from us is automatically regarded as the enemy. There was a time when I would have worried that Luke was about to go to war. The fact that he was leading an assault made me at ease because this time, he had the element of surprise. 

We stayed a bit in the office, talking with the Alphas still loyal to us to inform them of Luke‘s return and some of our plans to salvage what was left without us telling them about Luis Moon‘s identity or our plan to attack Tetra. As much as we were grateful that they remained with us, we could not be a hundred per cent sure they were loyal to us. So we needed to be careful. No one would know of the attack except those who would be a part of it. The island can find out after it has happened. 

When it was evening, we went to eat at a restaurant. 

After eating at the restaurant, Luke and Caleb dropped me off at home and went to prepare for their trip to Tetra. 

I entered the mansion and sluggishly walked to the left–wing. The house was very quiet. It wasn‘t its busy old self, and I knew it missed the Stacy touch. The woman was a clown, pissing everyone off and making a fool of herself. Remembering my encounters with her at the entrance and hallway made me giggle. 

I was glad Stacy had woken up, and she was fine. I was happy that Alpha Aesop would finally get the closure he deserved, and we might figure out who poisoned her. Which would expose the culprit, and we can finally eat safely in the house. I also wanted her to confirm if what Monica told us was the truth or fabricated lies. I knew Monica had no reason to lie, but I did not want to dismiss that probability. 

Approaching my room, I found Kimberly at my door. I smiled at her immediately, and she hugged me, 

“It is good to have you back, Tia,” she said and broke the hug to admire my clothes. 

“And you managed to wear your clothes this time, not the usual Luke outfit,” she said, and I began to laugh. I let her into the room. When I asked of Emma, she said Michelle was taking care of her. 

“You know you will have to get Emma a nanny eventually because Michelle will be caring for my baby,” I told her, and she laughed. 

“When that time comes, Tia. Let Emma keep her busy for now,” she said, and I laughed.
