Chapter 198: Hideaway

Moana was right about the fact that I needed to tell Ella the truth about her mother. It was time that Ella knew what her mother was really like, especially after that whole ordeal.

If I wanted to keep her safe, I needed to get her somewhere where it would be unlikely for others to be close enough to pick up her
