"I see," Leonica hummed as she reached out and grabbed her laptop. "So, you should be back home by next week, right? Wanna get dinner with me when you're back? "Would love to lucemia. I have rehearsals to get back to, but

"Will do." Leonica said and reached for her phone, about to end the call when Owen spoke up

"Do me a favor, hoce mia?" when she hummed, giving him the green light to continue on, Owen added. "Please be careful around jail. He's up to something, I can tell."

Ha, just the thought of that was fucking revolting!

But thankfully Leonica didn't have the attention to ponder all about her scummy ex boyfriend, instead, she wondered; just how many people were in on Irene's appearance.

After the security fred she had watched, it was obvious that trene had an accomplice, so just who were they?

And what was famil's involvement in this entire thing? Was he a pawn like me? Manipulated like she was to release all those posts?

Leonica sighed as her brainstared to hurt. So many things were going on, and it was hard for her to keep track of everything.

She really hated it when things got out of hand like this.
