Ever since he realized he fell in the hands of the Fridaymen, Ves tried to guess the identity of the ultimate beneficiary.
He half-expected to meet a familiar face, and he did in the form of an old classmate.
Of all the people he expected to meet, he never thought he would meet Patricia Scheider under these circumstances!
Oh, it should be Patricia Cain by now. She recently married a random Apprentice from the Carnegie Group.
Patricia should no longer be a Brighter now. She abandoned her former state and moved up to a better one!
Yet even if she had abandoned her roots and become a Fridayman by marriage, Ves never expected that she would stoop so low and be part of his kidnapping!
Being betrayed by Ghanso was already bad enough to Ves. Getting stabbed in the back by Patricia somehow sparked an irrational fury within his heart!
The mild glare he directed towards her only encompassed a small part of his desire to take revenge!
