Chapter 69

• *Isabel*
• I hadn't expected her to show up.
• I was coming down the stairs to see if Dante had returned, still drying my hair with a towel, when I spotted Bianca standing just in front of the door. I froze, meeting her hard gaze. Her eyes were locked on me with the heaviness of a thousand accusations. "Where is he?" She questioned. Her voice was cold, biting through the air like an icy wind. I swallowed, still trying to make sense of the situation. Her eyes flickered behind the stairs, scanning for Dante, but she wouldn't find him. I hadn't seen him since he'd asked me to lock myself in. Henry had arrived to inform the attack had been controlled and we were now safe but I didn't leave the house. Not when Dante had specifically asked me not to.
