Dedicated to all my wonderful readers. Please read the note beneath the chapter, I'm hoping it touches someone. 💜

Linda's POV

I shake my head. " That can't be. It's only seven. " 

  Alessandro smiles " In letters but in numbers it's eleven. "

Okay, I did not think of that. 

" Quickly, try it. "

I do just that. I place my ear against the safe and turn the dial. 

1…3…2…5…2…5…1…2…1…2…1

It makes a loud click. 

Did I actually open it?

' You're only going to know if you turn the wheel and pull it. '

Stop being a smart mouth.

' Sheesh '

Not now. 

I breathe in deeply and turn the wheel which rolls smoothly, then I pull it to me and it opens perfectly. 

Yes!

The door is quite heavy. I pull it fully open and I'm left shocked.
