Negotiating with Lazarus

Author's note: This is from Lazarus's point of view

I looked at the never-ending greenery below the helicopter while wondering why Serina summoned me suddenly.

My resources told me that she purchased a home with that Drago character. She is not inviting me to a housewarming party, is she? No. She said that she needs a favor that can be discussed only in person, and I ended up agreeing to come right away, like an idiot.

Will I ever be able to say, 'no', to her?

My unreasonable infatuation with Serina started from the moment I met her, more than three years ago. I thought I was going to lose my mind if I don't get my hands on her. I don't remember if I ever smelled anything more seductive than Seraphina.

She was standing in the garden, like the epitome of beauty, purity, and lustful desires packed in one magnificent package.
