Chapter 35 Summary: “The Shadow”

Zade and Adeline sit on her bedroom balcony the following morning. Zade is upset because another video has been released of a ritual at Savior’s, which implies that a ritual happened while he was there without him knowing it. He suspects that the marks he saw on Dan’s shirt could have been blood from the ritual, and he blames himself for letting it happen. Adeline mentions how Gigi fell in love with Ronaldo, and they discuss how they may be soul mates reincarnated into different bodies. She then asks him about his mood, and he tells her, reluctantly, about the ritual and his feelings of guilt. Adeline tries to assuage his shame, but he gets angry.

Calming himself down, Zade explains to Adeline that he had a normal childhood though his parents died when he was 17 years old. His scars are from the first trafficking ring that he infiltrated, and he is proud of them because he succeeded in saving the children on that occasion. They kiss, but they are interrupted by Daya. Daya tries to punch Zade, but he dodges her and tells her that she should not hit her employer. Daya is at a loss for words, and Zade gives Adeline permission to tell Daya whatever she feels is important.
