Connecting Dots–1
Sebastian’s POV
“Aurora would never do something like that,” Roman defended his sister.
Despite being angry with her, at the end of the day, she was still his sister. He would do everything in his power to protect her.
“In my line of work, anything is possible,” Hawthorne said calmly.
He pulled out his notebook and wrote something down. After a few minutes, he looked up
at us.
“But seriously, Aurora wouldn’t hurt Thea. Maybe there’s a lot of bad blood between them, but she would never harm her,” Roman insisted while the others remained silent.
I wanted to believe Aurora wasn’t capable of this, but I wasn’t so sure anymore. The woman who came back a few months ago wasn’t the same woman who left years ago.
She had so much anger and hatred toward Thea. She even threatened my pup and fabricated lies to frame Thea.
“I’m not saying she’s the perpetrator, just that she’s a suspect,” Hawthorne explained. “Hatred and anger are powerful motivations for murderous revenge. And the fact that Thea was shot less than a month after she exposed Aurora’s big secret isn’t a coincidence. Aurora tried her hardest to keep that secret hidden.”
On the surface, everything pointed to Aurora. She was the only one who’d recently had an intense conflict with Thea, and considering their tense relationship, Aurora might have
hired hitmen to kill her.
I looked at Roman, who appeared as if he’d been struck by lightning. I could see regret in his eyes for potentially getting his sister into trouble.
“What about Graves?” I asked, remembering how he had targeted Thea before.
“Yes, I considered him, but for some strange reason, I don’t feel he’s behind this. His hatred was directed at you. Sure, he kidnapped Thea, but according to what his men told us when we caught them that day, he was just messing with you. He never planned to kill

her. He explicitly told them not to harm Thea or he’d slit their throats.”
This information surprised me, but I didn’t show it.
“That’s strange,” I muttered, frowning.
