"That was all he said?" a curious Alex asked, staring confusingly at Lena who was sitting on the bed with her arms wrapped around herself.It's been a day since they got back from that house and Thane hadn't let Lena out of the house. And he'd only let her get one visitor, which was Alex.Alex stared at her friend, who still looked a bit terrified and confused. "What do you think he meant by that?" "I don't know Alex." Lena said and shut her eyes, taking a deep breath to calm herself. "This is happening too fast." She muttered to herself, then suddenly paused, turning her gaze to Alex."What really happened here when we were gone?" Alex shrugged, stepping closer to Lena from where she stood. "Well, his mom showed up just a few minutes after you two left. She kept calling him, but he wouldn't pick up. Dante had to try and was able to speak with him, but not long enough to track him."Alex paused and sank into the bed beside Lena, her voice laced with concern. "Lena, we were worried

Lena stood by the window, her hands caressing the pendant—not because she was happy, but because the back of her left hand had tiny plasters covering her self-inflicted injuries.It was dark outside, and the house was suddenly so eerily quiet-almost like the night Tessa had died.Her eyes twitched from side to side, monitoring the gate and waiting for it to open, and Thane would drive in.She needed an explanation for why he'd kept her on house arrest and what was going on between him and his mom.But more importantly, which Victoria were they talking about? 'How the fuck do they know my mom?' she asked in her mind, more panic rising to her chest.If what she thought was going on was actually going on, then she wasn't sure she wanted to stay in this house any longer.'What do you think is going on?' a voice in her head taunted.It'd been so quiet recently, like it was also as confused as she was about this entire situation.But that was the least of her problems now. Thane had locke

"Aren't you going to your office?" Lena asked Thane, staring at him as he worked with his laptop on the other end of the bed.Thane clicked away, his eyes on the keyboard as he had his back to her. "I own the company, Lena. I have control of my attendance," he stated firmly.But Lena knew there was a reason he hadn't stepped out of the house the entire day-there was always a reason he'd choose to work from home.She bit her lip, her mind drifting back to their conversation the other day."Your mom knows something important about what they're looking for. And my mom thinks you know something about it." Thane had said, still crouched as he cleaned up the injuries on her hand.Lena's mind raced, like it'd been doing since she found out Thane's mom and hers used to be really good friends.But what information could she have known?And if she could remember clearly-she had no memory of her mom telling her anything.Lena clutched the blue pillow closer to her chest and took a deep breath. S

"So you gave her the job just like that?" Lena asked, staring at Thane, who was now lying completely on the bed, his eyes fixed on the ceiling. His throat bobbed. "No." He said simply. "I don't let just anyone into my home. And honestly, her confidence was a little... off-putting at first. So I had to run some checks."Lena, who was laying beside him, just stared. With Alex's story and Bridget's story, everything made Thane sound like a savior.'Did he save every other maid in this house? That'll be eight more harassment and or trafficking cases.' Lena thought, her eyes making an outline of Thane's side view.She rolled to her side and supported her head with her hand so she didn't put too much weight on her stomach. "What did you find?" Thane hesitated. "She ran away from her family at a young age, and ever since, she'd been hopping around trying to find her feet." "Oh, my God." Lena exclaimed softly, genuinely feeling sorry for Bridget. "But why?" "She wanted a different life aw
