MasukElena nodded. "Today's gonna be great, too!"Cameron chatted with Noah on potential outing spots to show Elena. On the outside, Elena nodded along with great interest. 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

"I'm so sorry," Aria continued. "I panicked and did something so terribly stupid, and now you're stuck here, too."Elena took in Aria's story. While Aria may have gotten them both abducted, Elena couldn't blame Aria for it. Her roommate was a civilian, after all.Aria didn't know how dangerous the m
Elena, now aware that Aria was watching them, tried to see things from her roommate's perspective.It was clear to see Massimo and Tyler were fighting—that they hated each other. But Aria knew next to nothing about the mafia world. Maybe she would guess that they were enemies because of that.Or may
Elena did her best to keep her wits about her. She had to learn a lot about the human brain during her studies to become a doctor. She knew if she didn't try to keep her spirits and good attitude up, she'd let Tyler win whatever sick game he was playing.Elena knew the first thing to demoralizing so
