Chapter 116

"I need to be somewhere," I informed Lily the moment I stepped into the bedroom.

She looked up from the pile of clothes on the bed that she intended on hanging in the closet. "You just got back." She pointed out with a frown, "Shouldn't you at least take a shower, have something to eat, and change before leaving?"

Closing the space between us, I kissed her forehead. "I won't long, I promise. I just want to meet up with, a business associate real quick."

"Right." She returned to lining the clothes. "Just make sure to be safe."

"I will." Hesitating out of the house, I grabbed my keys from Angelo. He insisted he wanted to drive me, but I told him I could handle it just fine.

He laughed nervously. "I guess you are right." He jerked his head towards the waiting counter. "should we order coffee?"

He shook his head. "the number she called was also registered under her name." I scoffed at the irritating plot twist. "however, she also sent a series of texts to someone and we think those texts actually gave us a hint on who she must have been calling."

Why didn't he just say this from the onset? "What was the text about and who do you think she sent it to?"

Rio picked up his phone. "I am going to forward it to you." Within seconds, my phone chimed with received text.
