Yet, their joy was short-lived, as the harsh reality set in. How could they possibly search Daveys villa?
Aurora was a unique place, and even in Ardlens, the law was clear.
Without solid proof and a court-ordered search warrant, they couldnt simply barge into a suspects home, no matter how suspicious the circumstances. Not to mention the savage Aurora, where nobles had the right to kill anyone who entered their property, a law that gave them complete protection and control.
If they attempted to breach Daveys villa, a deadly shootout was all but certain, and the consequences would be dire and unpredictable.
Daveys strength was a force to be reckoned with, backed by a formidable army of highly trained and fiercely loyal elite soldiers who would stop at nothing to carry out his orders.
In Aurora, firearms and ammunition were unrestricted, and the nobles arsenals rivaled those of a police station.
Fighting Auroras nobles with guns was a losing battle, and a dangerous one at that. It would be nothing short of suicide.
After careful deliberation, they concluded that cunning and cleverness were their only weapons. They needed to devise a clever ruse to entice Davey away from his villa, and then exploit the opportunity to slip in unnoticed, conducting a stealthy search for clues while Davey was absent.
However, this plan was equally precarious. Daveys acceptance of the invitation was far from guaranteed, and even if he did take the bait, the loyal guards stationed at his villa would pose a formidable obstacle.
Moreover, Ericks current physical state was too frail to permit him to engage in such strenuous activities, rendering him temporarily incapable of taking action.

The Auroras entry rules for outsiders were very strict. Only a few people might be allowed in, but a large group would almost certainly be rejected.
But then, a name came to Landens mind, someone who might be willing to help.
Landen told Raegan and Erick to find Hector, who had a lot of connections from his years abroad. If it was about saving Casey, Hector would probably be eager to lend a hand.
Raegan was unaware of the intricate web of relationships between her mother and these men, and the complex history that bound them together.
Given Caseys captivating charm and grace, it was only natural that she drew attention from many admirers.
Raegan inherited Caseys beauty, but sometimes felt it was more of a burden than a gift. Caseys life served as a vivid illustration of this very principle! They remained unsure about her location and circumstances.
By the time they reached out to Hector, he had already arrived in Aurora, having traveled at the quickest pace possible. His extensive international network and considerable influence effortlessly navigated the complex entry protocols, facilitating a seamless arrival.
By the next morning, Hector had already arrived at the Clifford familys manor, surprising Raegan with his quick arrival. Stefan was absent, nearly exposing their fake newlywed cover.
Luckily, Hectors focus was on the situation with Casey, and he didnt question why Raegan and Stefan werent sharing a room as a newlywed couple, sparing them from an awkward explanation.
Once Erick had shared all the clues about Caseys whereabouts, Hector vanished into thin air.
Three days passed before Hector reappeared. He reunited with Erick and the others, announcing, Ive scouted out that villa, and everything Looks good. Davey appears to be the only occupant, with no evidence of a womans presence or belongings.
Erick and Raegan were left speechless, their faces frozen in shock and disbelief. This seemed unlikely. If someone had really been there, wouldnt there be some clues, some hints, something at all?
