On the inside though, she was nervous.She's never spent time alone with Noah before! She trusts him because Sloane trusts him—and a
Elena opened the door to a see a man she didn't recognize. He was dressed in light but stylish, colorful button-up and perfectly beige pants. It reminded Elena of the types of outfits she saw on display when Massimo took her on shopping trips to high-end stores."Hello," she said, "how can I help yo
Elena did, in fact, like Sloane's home. It wasn't quite as big as the Ferraro estate but it was much bigger than her childhood home. It looked like a beach house out of a some teen movie with its light blue body and golden rooftop and window trims.The inside was just as spacious as Elena expected i

Elena didn't flinch. She wouldn't give Consigliere Leo, one of Tyler Morello's top advisors, the satisfaction. Instead, she kept her mouth in a tight line as he sat next to her."They should start manually counting each kill now," Leo continued, oblivious to Elena's discomfort. Or maybe he was all t
"I want you to understand that I'm in a... precarious situation," Elena explained.
