Chapter 80

Seraphina cautiously opened the bathroom door, took a peek outside, and then tiptoed out.

Just as she reached the stairs, there was a knock at the front door Seraphina went downstairs to answer it and found two security guards at the door.

“Ms. Bennett, we got a call from Mr. Lawson He asked us to check you out. The power tripped a while ago, but it should be back by now”

Seraphina nodded, “Alright, thanks guys.”

After the guards left, Seraphina made a call to Balch.

The background was eerily quiet as Balch picked up. Seraphina couldn’t help but ask, “Have you finished eating?”
