Chapter Fifty

Leah's POV

The tension in the air is palpable as Xavier and I continue to delve into the dangerous web of uncertainty surrounding us. The anonymous threats and the unsettling news of Dante's death have cast a shadow over our idyllic getaway. But amidst the chaos, we remain determined to find answers and protect our love.

As we settle into our new hotel room, Xavier's focus shifts to his laptop, his brows furrowed with concentration. I can see the weight of the world on his shoulders, and I yearn to provide him some respite, even if only for a moment.

Just as I'm about to suggest a distraction, my phone buzzes, displaying Sandra's name on the screen. I hesitate upon seeing Sandra's name flash on my phone screen. The past is still raw, and a part of me wants to ignore the call. But deep down, I long for the connection we once had. She was a good secretary and friend. It wasn’t even her fault if I am being honest.

After a moment of contemplation, I muster the courage to answer.

"Hello?"
