47. Stefan

Ever since Emily died, I have never felt attracted to a woman. It has been easy to keep away from

I rush to Alekos’ room, but Angel is not there. Neither Alekos nor Reyes are there.

“Where the f uck is she?” 1 growl while looking for Angel around the room. “Don’t tell me they took her

to the basement.”

It is almost morning; if they had her there during the night, who knows what they did to her. The pain

and torture they subjected her to.

When I don’t find them in the basement, I decide to call Reyes. I nash back to my room and grab my

phone from the desk

Reyes picks up on the third ring. Lood music could be heard in the background.

“Where are Alekos and you?” I bark into the phone

“What crawled up your as s? Our favorite nightclub,” Reyes replies. He sounds drunk. They have been

out all night long? Then where is Angel? “There’s a new exotic dancer. You should come to see her.
