Chapter 40 Homewrecker

• For the past two days, Reina had remained locked inside her room. The silence of her isolation was only broken during midnight, when she ventured out to scrounge for something to eat in the quiet of the house.
• Reina stepped out of her bed and made her way to the kitchen. What she remained unaware of was that Xavier, consumed by a mix of worry and frustration, had been monitoring her every move from the glow of his laptop screen since day one.
• Following their argument two days ago, Xavier, unleashing his anger, had almost beaten the life out of Igor, but the arrival of Alfonso had abruptly shifted his focus. He delivered distressing news that his Russia base had been under an attack, leaving many of his men injured and billions in merchandise lost to thieves. With urgency coursing through him, Xavier had no choice but to depart and address the escalating crisis in the dead of night.
