(Devan's POV).
I went to the police station right away to take care of Adam's problem. Two detectives were waiting for me in the waiting room and they asked me a few questions about my relationship with Adam and Freya. They also asked me how Adam was doing and I told them that he was getting better.
"You said that this was another hit-and-run case?" I asked him.
"Yes. It's another hit-and-run case."
"Have you caught the culprit?"
Because I couldn't wait to meet the bastard who had put my son in the hospital. I'll never forgive them and make sure they get the punishment he deserves for what they did to Adam. I won't let them get away with it.
"That's the problem, sir. I have a few things to say about this matter."
I furrowed my brow. Seeing the expression on her face that looked confused and troubled, I knew it wasn't that simple. For some reason, I felt uneasy too.
"What's wrong? Just tell me everything," I told him.
One of the detectives held out a photo of a man to me and I studied it closely.
"Do you know this man?" he asked.
I shook my head. "No, I don't. I don't know her."
"We should also ask your wife if she knows him orー"
"I'm sure she doesn't know him either," I cut him off impatiently. "Don't play riddles with me. Just tell me what happened and I want this matter taken care of and resolved as soon as possible!"
They were silent for a few moments. He put both hands on the table and looked at me seriously.
"He is the culprit who hit your son and ran away. Currently, we have managed to catch him. But there's a bit of a problem going on because that guy said that he was only ordered by someone to do it."
"Someone?" I furrowed my brow. My hands were clenched in anger. "Who? Who is the bastard who ordered him to kill my son?" I growled.
"We don't know yet, sir. We've asked repeatedly about this, but that man said that he didn't meet the person who ordered him in person. He only got the order over the phone and the money was left in a public locker."
"Damn it. Can't you guys do your jobs properly?!" I shouted, losing my control. "Isn't there CCTV everywhere? You should be able to check the CCTV in the public locker area to see who put the money there!"
"Sir, calm down. The one who put the money in the public locker was a courier. And the courier also told us that he got the order over the phone."
"Fuck! So you want to say that you can't catch them?!" I shouted angrily. "I don't want to know. I want you to quickly find out who the bastard is...." I fell silent suddenly as something horrible flashed through my mind. "Can you tell me the voice of the person who has ordered them to do this?" I asked them.
"A womanー"
"A woman?" I cut him off. My eyes widened in surprise and my heart suddenly thumped very fast. My hands clenched into tight fists, my jaw hardened with explosive anger. "Asshole! I'll kill her," I hissed.
"Do you suspect someone who might be the perpetrator of all this trouble?" he asked me.
"Hm. There is one person. But I didn't expect her to do such a sneaky and disgusting thing," I said.
I immediately took out my cell phone and searched for some videos I had. The video of me together with Viona. I immediately showed the video to them.
"Show this video to the person who hit my son and ask if the woman who ordered it has the same voice as the woman in this video," I ordered.
"Yes, sir. I'll ask him right away."
One of them immediately took my cell phone and went to another room where the perpetrator was. After a few moments, he came back into the room with a pale face.
"How was it?" I asked impatiently.
"They have the same voice!" he said, his voice shaking with shock.
"You bastard Viona. How could you do such a heinous thing? Adam didn't even do anything wrong to you," I hissed as I crumpled my phone in a burst of anger.
"We'll be searching for her soon and will be arresting her to get more clarity," he told me.
"She's a fugitive at the moment," I said, "she's been on the run since three days ago because she was on trial for a premeditated murder he committed four years ago. But I hope you can catch her as soon as possible."
If she could order someone to hurt Adam, it means she followed me secretly when I came here. I didn't expect her to do such a heinous thing to a little boy.
"I'll never forgive you, Viona," I hissed.
After I discussed the matter with the detectives, I immediately contacted Jason and informed him of everything that happened. That Viona seemed to be hiding here and that she was the one who had ordered people to kill Adam. But luckily Adam could still be saved. I asked him to order a few more detectives to look for Viona so that she would be found and imprisoned soon.
"Damn you, Viona!" I slammed my steering wheel with a burst of anger. I really couldn't understand what Viona was doing. Does she have no heart? Why would he do something like this?
I decided to go back to the hospital because, on my way out of the police station, I got a text message from Freya that Adam had regained consciousness. But I planned not to tell Freya about the problem because I didn't want her to be shocked.
Viona killed Theo and now that she's also trying to harm Adam, I don't want her to be shocked and sad if she finds out. For the time being, I needed to hide this fact from her.
"My life is about to turn into hell if anything bad happens to him, Stella." I heard Freya's voice talking to Stella as I was about to enter Adam's room.
"Adam is fine. And you're lucky to have Devan by your side, Freya."
"I know. I'm grateful that I have Devan by my side. But I still don't know if I should back to him or not. I don't want to keep him by my side with all the troubles that are always happening to me. I feel like I'm just a jinx, Stella."
"Hey, you shouldn't say such nasty things to yourself, Freya. You're worthy of love. You are worth keeping. He came back to you because he knew and realized that you were something precious to him."
My hand froze on the door knob and I didn't know what to do. Should I go inside and tell her that I really have changed and love her? I had mixed feelings at the moment.
"So all this time she thought that she was the jinx in my life?" I whispered.
