Chapter 39

Just as Serena connected to the hostel's WiFi, a message popped up on her phone.

It was from Cynthia Lynwood.

She opened it.

Another photo.

In the picture, a small hand rested on a larger one.

Clearly, the small hand belonged to Cynthia Lynwood, and the larger hand was Aaron's.

Cynthia Lynwood had sent her many such photos before. Each time, Serena felt as if a knife twisted in her heart. She had tried to ask Aaron about them, but his responses were always dismissive.

He thought she was overreacting.

Over time, the pain lingered, but she learned to keep her mouth shut.
