Chapter 552

The inan said, "We're in contact through the phone. I'll only get the next set of instructions after we succeed."

Not only that, but the police had also discovered a trove of cover photos on his phone. They were all of Marve

She'd been targeted from the moment she arrived in Naso.

"Their stalking is calculated and deliberate. Aiden concluded. "Rosie, you might be a target of someone with a vendetta or someone you don't even know

Maeve felt a chill crawl up her spine. Suddenly, this whole situation seemed strangely familiar,

She thought. Something like this had happened before, back in Brancia.

Whenever I am alone, I seem to attract trouble.

Could it be... that this is the work of the same person?"

After leaving the police station, Aiden handed Maeve his phone number and told her to reach out if she needed anything He advised her to avoid quiet, isolated areas for now to reduce the risk of further trouble. Maeve nodded, her voice soft. Thanks for today... I'm lucky you were there."

It's like they're part of some world where everything feels easy.

Could it be that I let my guard down because of the comfort of knowing someone familiar?'

Maeve thought it over, unaware that Aiden's gaze had lingered on the faint crescent-shaped birthmark on the back of her neck. His eyes were fixed on it for a long moment.

That shape... if he remembered correctly, his uncle, Lee, had the same birthmark, in the same place.
