Chapter 45 Lingering Memories

• Nevaeh's POV
• It had only been a few days since the tragic news of Ximena's untimely death. After just two days, a swarm of reporters descended upon our villa, only to be stopped by vigilant security personnel at the entrance. What transpired between them and Grandma remains a mystery, as they left without uttering a single word about Ximena. It was as though she never existed. The broadcasting network has inexplicably gone silent on the details of her death. Even within our home, an eerie silence surrounds her. Not even my father speaks of her.
• "Baby?" my father's voice broke the silence as he appeared in the doorway with a tray of food. I sat propped up against the headboard, immediately grabbing my phone, pretending not to notice him.
