Chapter 1

Chapter 1Leona’s POVThe door bell of my favorite cafe jingled as I pushed it open. It was one that I visited every morning. The moment I entered, the air enveloped with the smell of coffee and sugar swarmed into my nostrils.“Buongiormo, Bella!” Signora Rossi beamed with a happy wave from behind the counter. “But you are late.” She dusted her apron.Three years was enough time for me to disappear.It wasn’t easy. I learnt the little tricks first. I learnt how to answer questions without really answering them, how to smile politely even when I didn’t mean it and how to keep my life on a low so that nobody knows what you’re going through.I, Leona learnt everything within a short period of time. People didn’t need to know if it was Lila Grant or not because that woman was already dead.“Buongiomo.” I replied her with a smile, glancing at my wristwatch.It was 8:15am. I was indeed late. I took my usual seat by the window side where I could watch the street and the silent sea from the

Chapter 2

Chapter 2Adrian’s POVI stood in her doorway, my body dripping wet from the heavy rain. I wasn’t supposed to be here. I was uninvited and one of her enemies yet here I was, hoping something would magically change.“Leona.”She looked at me without saying a word. She looked at me like I was a stranger. Her sharp eyes, the brown ones i fell in love with had become really cold. Well, I was a stranger. I was three years late. But I hated that she stared at me like something she once knew and then decided to forget.The silence between us was overwhelming. It was as if she was trying to decide whether to listen to the trash I had to say or to slam the door against my face.“What do you want?” Her reaction was quick.Leona had changed. I remembered the girl that laughed aloud at the silliest thing. She used to lean into people when she talked. The bright woman that I loved.But now, she looked like an angry lion. The woman standing in front of me now was like a stone. Her back was straigh

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 Leona’s povIt was still dark when I started packing.It wasn’t the soft grey color that came before sunrise, this one was deep and unkind, reminding me of what was in front of me.I wasn’t thinking straight. I didn’t thoroughly think through what I was about to do because thinking about it would make me stop so I continued moving instead.That envelope was the cause. It made me fold, sip and pack my bags. My suitcase laid on the bed while I shoved clothes into it with shaking hands.The sound of the rattling zipper closing echoed loudly in the small house that even the walls watched what I was doing. I slid my passport into the leather case that had been loyal to be for many years, especially during the days of running. My eyes drifted towards the window. The rain stopped a few hours ago but the road would still be very wet.Adrian. He might still be out there somewhere. He could be awake, staring at the sea the way he used to whenever something was bothering him or eatin

Chapter 4

Chapter 4Adrian’s POVThe rain swallowed me the moment I stepped down the lane. Cold water soaked through my clothes instantly as I walked down the narrow hill road. Behind me, the door finally got shut, the sound disappeared into the storm.My car waited at the bottom of the hill. I climbed inside and gripped the steering wheel. For a long moment, I just breathed.My hands were shaking. The drive through the long roads felt endless. The wind nearly pushed the car off the road curves, and the wipers of my car struggled against the downpour.Then my phone buzzed.Unknown number. Encrypted channel. A single message appeared on the screen. ‘You shouldn’t have warned her.’A chill runned down my spine.I deleted the message. But my pulse accelerated. There were only two people who could know what I did tonight. One of them was my father.The other person — I didn’t even want to finish that thought. I pressed harder on the accelerator. The lights of the next town finally appeared through
