Chapter 28

The door clicked shut behind him with a quiet finality.

Alejandro stood still for a moment, his fingers still curled around the handle. His jaw stunned by what happrised.

He exhaled slowly, then rolled his neck unlilit cracked. Her voice rang in his head.

My entire life has been hijacked by people like you…”

tight, eyes locked on the far wall of his bedroom. He was still

He didn’t like the way it lingered, and he definitely didn’t like the way it had sunk under his skin like a splinter he couldn’t remove

He turned away from the door and walked to the bathu oom, lipping on the lights.

Pausing when he got to the mirror, he turned to face it, already knowing what he would

The version of himself that stared back these days wasn’t the man the world loved. Not the playboy in tailored suits and lazy smiles.

This version was colder. More ruthless. A man sharpened by guilt, sculpted by vengeance, and draped in just enough charm to keep suspicion away

A second passed. Then the water burst from the rain head. He didn’t flinch as the water touched him.
