Chapter 65

Chapter 65.

Nelly’s POV.

I grabbed Aisha by the arm and pulled her into my room, slamming the door shut behind us. “What did you just say?” I asked, my heart beating furiously. My eyes were wide with fear.

“A–Astel came around,” she stammered. “He… he came and…” She trailed off, her breath coming in short, quick gasps. I waited for her to finish, my mind racing with possibilities.

“Do you think he wants you back?” Aisha asked, breaking the silence. I opened my eyes and looked at her.
