Chapter 56

• Maliyla's POV
• I awoke feeling like I had been hit by a truck the following morning. The pain in my head was unbearable. When I turned over, I discovered I was alone in the bed. I sat up and looked around but saw no Hector. My mind was racing as I sprang out of bed and began searching the penthouse, but he was nowhere to be found. 'Where could he have gone?' I thought as I entered the kitchen.
• "Good morning," Jonathan chirped.
