Chapter 105

ADAM'S POV

I had just picked up the call from Finn. I wasn’t expecting anything too serious; maybe a quick update on Dante or something about the text I had sent him.

But as soon as I answered, I was met with silence. “Finn, any updates? Hello?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. Still, no one spoke.

I was about to hang up when I heard a woman's voice on the other end. My body immediately tensed up because the voice sounded like Linda's. I leaned in closer, straining to listen.

What was going on?

I couldn’t make out everything at first, but the next words hit me loud and clear.

"Can you uhmm… can you take me with you?" Linda's voice was soft but insistent. “I want to see what he looks like too.”

The hairs on the back of my neck stood up, and I knew I had to keep quiet, no matter how much I wanted to jump in and demand answers. I had to listen. I had to understand.
