Henry dropped me off at the same villa where he’d kept me for four years before driving away.
I had no choice but to play along for now. If he really hid my grandma somewhere—or worse, did something awful to her without a trace—I needed to stay put to keep her safe.
Anyway, I knew him well enough to be sure he wasn't the type to force women. As long as I didn’t give in, we wouldn’t go back to what we were. So basically, he was just a landlord I didn’t pay.
Right before he left, he gave me back my phone. As soon as I turned it on, I tried calling Xander back.
Before the line even connected, I heard a car engine shut off outside. I thought maybe Henry had returned, so I walked to the door to see what he forgot—only to see Lena stomping up to me like a storm.
The fury in her
