A couple of days back, Jacob had been sitting in his apartment after disposing of the body of yet another woman. He had killed her in a blind fit of rage following the press conference where Aliana's marriage to Gavriel was publicly announced.
His brain had been frantically working to craft the perfect plan… not only to sabotage the upcoming wedding but to get the woman into his possession once and for all.

Alerted, he looked around but couldn't see anyone, but an ominous, deep voice of a man suddenly echoed directly inside his head.

Jacob shot up to his feet, growing deeply wary.
