CHAPTER 24

  Gabriella: Address.

  She sent a text message to Javier. He didn’t spend any time. He responded with the address in a text. Gabriella had previously moved in when Javier returned. The workers first tried to keep her out, but when they heard Xander calling her mother, they voted to allow her in. One helper showed Gabriella to Javier’s room, and she put her belongings in the closet. She then went to the kitchen and requested the chef if she may cook for today. She didn’t feel compelled by the woman. The woman was exhausted then she let Gabriella cook. With the aid of the chef, Gabriella readied the dinner table. Xander wasn’t quite ready, he has engrossed himself in video games. Gabriella knew it was Javier when she heard a vehicle drive up, so she called Xander to come down the stairs. Xander rushed in and snatched his seat. The door opened with a click. It was him, Javier Hills.

  I’ll love torturing him until he decides.
