"Still no word from Leo? Are you kidding me? What the hell is wrong with all of

you? He's a public figure! You let him run around unsupervised like this? Do you

even realize the risks? What if something happens to him? Who's going to answer

for that?"

Paige's heels clicked furiously across the marble floor as she paced, one hand

clenched into a fist while the other gripped her phone. Her voice cut like glass.

"Oh, he's an adult? And that means what, exactly?" she snapped. "If something

happens to him, are you going to take the fall?!"

She hurled the phone onto the couch, arms crossed tight against her chest as she

stormed back and forth. Everything lately had been slipping through her fingers,

and she hated it.

She'd planned everything so carefully—her moves calculated, her strategy

flawless. Alistair should've gone down for good. Instead, he walked free.

was that?

And now Leo was missing. No calls, no texts. Radio silence.

She was driving her insane.

Paige prided herself on control. Leo had always been like a kite. She could let him

soar, fly as high as he wanted, but the string? The string always stayed in her

hand.

Now that string had slipped through her fingers. And she had no idea when, or

how.

She picked up a glass of water, took one sip, and then,

unsatisfied, hurled it across the room. The crash echoed off the

walls.

A maid tiptoed in, trembling, to clean it up.

The phone rang again. Paige rushed over, her heart leaping, only to sink when

she saw the caller ID. Disappointed but composed, she forced her tone into its

usual polished calm as she picked up. "Giselle," she said sweetly, "what is it

now?"
