Chapter 50

• Everything was quieter than usual. Matteo still ignored Rosa, but he was present most times. The workers hardly spoke but continued with the black dressing. Seth had poured his entire attention into the Empire, and spent most of his time in his office locked inside.
• I moved from the mansion to the hospital more frequently than before. The chairman had offered me another leave to mourn my grandmother-in-law and I appreciated his gesture while rejecting the offer. Staying at home seemed pleasant, but with the sober and thick atmosphere, I would be prone to suffocation. Keith stuck by my side with the new guard–Justin. He served mostly as his supervisor and ever since the funeral, I had been avoiding him and anything that would isolate both of us alone.
• It was evident that something had happened to the Rollins family. The media carried it, paparazzi followed Sett around like bees hovering around their gives. Keith was smart enough to take uncommon routes when driving to the hospital, but I still remained worried.
