Prisoner of Shame
Talia knocked on Xander William’s apartment door, her heartbeat thrumming against her ribs like a war drum. Before she could even lower her hand, the door swung open.
Celia stood there.
Not blinking. Not breathing.
Like she’d been waiting for this moment all day.
“Come in,” she said quickly, stepping aside. Her voice was clipped, but her eyes gave her away—sharp with fear, rimmed with unshed tears.
Talia crossed the threshold slowly. The room smelled like coffee that had gone cold and a candle that had burned too long. Celia gestured toward the couch, and Talia sat, every muscle in her body already bracing for whatever storm was coming.
