The Capital

After being forced out of Tranquility Manor, Tricia had no choice but to squeeze herself into an old, rundown apartment complex. To make matters worse, even Jonathan’s number was unreachable at this critical moment.

Evander knew everything that had happened to her, yet didn’t go out of his way to help. It was proof that being his “savior” still counted for something.
