Chapter 143

• Aleen POV:
• I cried myself to sleep as soon as Stephane left. I couldn't help it. It was hard to not be worried. My anxiety clawed to my throat and stayed there. I cried and then I fell asleep, with my tears smearing my face.
• When I wake up and see that it is bright noon, a quarter to two, my panic kicked up a notch and I debated on going to the mansion to figure out what was going on. I couldn't stand the suspense and not knowing any longer. It was too much. Too heavy.
