Chapter 109: The Attack

In the dimly lit bedroom, Demetri and Nora lay entwined in each other’s arms. Their wet clothing lay scattered on the floor, a testament to their lovemaking. But now that the passion had faded, the events of the evening still lingered in their minds.

Even though Nora’s mind had settled down, she could not help but continue to go back to the scene where she imagined what would happen if the dog had succeeded in attacking them. Her and Sara would have been torn to pieces.

As she shivered once again, a light smack on her a** startled her and she looked wide eyed at the man who had just done that. "Wh... What?" She stuttered to Demetri who still had his eyes closed.

"Mrs. Wife, if you are not too tired to think about the incident, then I have not done well, hmm? Would you care for round two?" As she said this, his fingers gently squeezed her bottom making her blush.

However, looking at his serious expression, no one would know that he was talking like a pervert. Propping up on her elbow, she mock glared at him. Just because he had suggested round two, did not mean that she had to agree. At least not verbally.

"Then are you also not thinking about it? Your expression was also grave."

His fingers played a staccato beat along her spine, Demetri nodded and answered her," I am indeed thinking of something important. But it is not the incident."

Nora looked at his face curiously, as she waited for his explanation.

"The weather has turned chill so I was wondering how long our clothes will need to dry. And who is going to mop that floor... They are two very important questions..."

After a beat of stunned silence, Nora burst into a mix of laughter and amazement, unable to contain her surprise at the intensity with which the two things had been presented.

Giggling, she pretended to think the answers seriously and said," Umm, the clothes will dry in a day or two and since you are so worried, I’ll mop that floor..."

Demetri nodded, seemingly satisfied that he would not have to do such a menial task while Nora simply shook her head with speechlessness.

"Well, you do that but there is another more important thing that I am worried about...

Expecting another such mundane task, she looked at him with expectant wide eyes, "What are you thinking about now?"

The next minute, however, she regretted asking the question as she found her hands held above her head and him over her as he answered," I am wondering how fast I can make you come... and how much before you are exhausted..."

By the time, Demetri was done finding answers to his questions, Nora was so exhausted that she couldn’t keep her eyes open and eventually fell into deep slumber in Demetri’s arms.

Unknown to her, as her body slumped in sleep, Demetri’s eyes flashed with danger. Slowly, he slipped out of bed, tucking her tightly in before walking out of the room.

The moment he was out of the room, he dialed a number, looking for answers, "Update."

A clear voice immediately started the report on the other end, " Sir, we have already checked the surveillance and found a culprit. But the real mastermind behind this has escaped. It was a young student who did it. It seems she was in need of money."

"According to her account, she found a note in her hostel this morning, promising a substantial sum of money if she complied with certain instructions. The note outlined a seemingly simple task: to walk a dog around the university until the canine attempted to escape. In return, she received an advance of about two thousand dollars. Believing it to be a straightforward dog-walking job, she accepted the offer and followed the instructions."

"Initially, the dog appeared calm throughout the walk. However, without warning, it suddenly became aggressive and attacked. Despite her attempts to intervene and control the situation, she couldn’t prevent the dog’s aggression. In a state of panic, she fled from the scene and has since been hiding in her room."

"We have already sent the note and money for fingerprints, but it seems improbable to get any leads there. Whoever they were had been very careful. The dog’s owner has also recently passed away so the dog was unstable."

"Send someone to collect Nora’s clothing and take that to the lab." Demetri ordered. Even though the clothing was already wet, he hoped they would be able to pick up what had agitated the dog into attacking Nora. From there on they would need to find out who had come into contact with her for them to have done something like this.

"Any other updates?" Demetri questioned.

"Yes sir, we have the report that you’d asked for about Miss Arabelle. Also, Miss Lara Anderson was on campus today. Even though she did not contact Ma’am, since she has tried to harm her in the past, she might have found a way to do it again. And we have an interesting lead in Max’s case. Sir, his roommate is an influencer and even though he usually used a background during his broadcasts, there is a chance that we may find out who was a regular visitor at their room. We are already working on clearing the backgrounds."

"Keep an eye on Lara Anderson and Arabelle."

As Demetri disconnected the call, a furrow formed on his forehead, and he sank onto the couch, staring at his plants. There was something they were missing in this piece of puzzle.

The stakes were high, and the missing element, like a phantom, taunted him from the shadows, urging him to unravel the truth. Whoever this person was, seemed to be an expert in borrowing other people’s hands to hit his targets. Nora had been lucky previously but would she continue to be lucky? He was not willing to risk this.
