But Manteo held up both hands, cutting her off before she could worry further. "Did you forget? You owe me a date, and that will be my payment."

This time, Emily didn't resist. After today's attack, the thought of being alone at home terrified her. Still, she hesitated for a moment before heading to her room, feeling conflicted but knowing she had little choice.

"Thanks," Matteo muttered before disconnecting the call.

His face suddenly darkened, and his jaw clenched as his suspicions were confirmed: the mastermind. behind the attack was indeed Tomas.
