Sebastian mention him.”
“Graves is the king of the underground world, a crime boss. He’s the one who killed-‘
“Why would Sebastian be in contact with a criminal?” I interrupted, confused. This information had my eyes widening. Of all the things I’d thought about him and questioned, none came close to what Iris was telling me. A criminal? Seriously? This didn’t seem like the kind of person Sebastian would associate with.
