Chapter 126: To Understand Your Enemy, You Must Face Them

I never thought there'd be a deeper meaning behind the ring. I had assumed there wasn't any reason why it was placed inside the donut I ate. How did that donut even get in my fridge?

"Does it have anything unusual?" I asked, peering over her shoulder. "Like a tracker or a bug?"

"It doesn't. It's just really expensive," she replied, still caressing the ring.

She looked dreamy, so I snapped my fingers in front of her face to bring her back to reality. Kesha blinked twice and looked at me with her mouth slightly open. "Listen to me," I said firmly. "I hired you because you're one of the best hackers out there. So, I'm going to assign a task to you."

Kesha stayed silent, listening.

Now, I know exactly where I should start. I knew what I needed to uncover.

It wasn't just Ash who broke our relationship years ago. He wasn't the only one I should investigate. I needed to dig deeper into their family lineage.

"Gotcha!" she exclaimed, making me stand up and approach her.

I peeked at her screens. I didn't even know where to look-she had three screens open at once.

"I found something interesting..." she muttered, clicking through some codes on her computer. The rapid movements made my head spin. "Five years ago, right?"
