Alexa's heart raced as she stood face-to-face with Ryan. The question loomed in her mind, demanding to be spoken aloud.
"Ryan, what are you doing here?" Alexa's voice trembled with a mix of curiosity and apprehension.
Ryan, leaning casually against the grand wall, met her gaze with a cool indifference. "This is my home, Alexa. I can go wherever I want," he replied nonchalantly, his tone laced with a hint of arrogance.
His words hit Alexa like a sudden gust of wind, catching her off guard.
Confusion and curiosity swirled within her, urging her to dig deeper.
Suppressing her initial surprise, Alexa decided not to dwell on the issue. She needed to stay focused on her purpose and the questions that burned within her. There were more pressing matters to address.
