Alarm bells rang in Luca’s head. Her hand on the doorknob was shaking slightly.

If the slip of paper was on the ground, it could only mean that someone had been there. Even though the security measures at the apartment were much better than her previous apartment, Abel would definitely have a way to sneak in.

There were very few things in the world that could stop Abel.

Luca took a deep breath. What should she do if the person inside was Abel? She would not mind it if it were her apartment, but she was in Luke’s apartment…

Luke had probably installed surveillance cameras in the apartment. If Abel was inside, would Luke be able to see him through the security feed and therefore find out his plans?

If he could, she would be free.

Luca did not know what to make of the situation. Eventually, she took a deep breath, braced herself, and opened the door.

She was mentally prepared to see Abel behind the door.

The moment she opened the door, she heard sounds from the television. Instantly, her mind went blank.

It sounded as though someone was watching a cartoon.

Luca rushed into the living room. When she saw Tommy sitting on the couch, her wildly beating heart gradually calmed down.

‘Thank goodness it’s not Abel. Luke won’t discover anything just yet…’

Luca was immediately taken aback. Why would she be glad about that?

When Tommy heard the footsteps, he turned over with a grin on his face. He leaned on the couch and said, “You’re back, Ms. Luca!”

Luca nodded. She looked around the living room and saw no one other than the boy.

“Why are you here, Tommy?” Luca put her briefcase near the couch. She thought Luke was careless to leave the child alone in the apartment.
