-Ludwig Borne-
***
Adonis walked into his office and as expected, his private investigator had been waiting outside with a bag containing all the necessary information to solve the case. He invited him in and offered him a cup of coffee before they started their conversation. The man settled with black with no added sugar, because it helped him think more clearly. After taking a sip, he placed his bag on the table and pulled out a few files from the inside, placing them on the table in order.
He started from the right file and opened it up. It contained data and evidence from the hotel. After all there had been another murder attempt toward Greta before and since the beginning, Adonis had suspected the culprit was the exact same person, but he dared not to jump into conclusion straight away and rather waited for the explanation.
Besides the paper there was also a

It was Sunday and all she wanted to do was to rest at home and perhaps call a massage service to massage her aching muscle. As soon as she sat down on the bed, the bathroom door was opened and Adonis came out from the room with nothing but a piece of towel wrapped around his hips.“Good morning my love, I’ll be making breakfast for us soon, what would you like to eat today?” He asked in a calm, relaxed tone which was always preferred by her.

Adonis did the same and before long they were already heading there.Initially the hospital was a bit concerned seeing so many people gathered in front of her room because all the family members were there to make sure that they were first to get in to see her and truthfully it was purely and act to gain her favor.
