Chapter 103: Ma’am, there are some things you need to see...
The sun cast golden streaks through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the sprawling luxury mansion as Ana sprinted through the grand hallways, her heart hammering against her ribs.
She barely paid attention to the polished marble floors beneath her or the glimmering chandeliers overhead—her focus was singular.
She needed to get to Riley.
Reaching the indoor swimming pool, she halted abruptly, her breath coming in short gasps.
The air smelled of chlorinated water and citrus-scented candles.
There, at the edge of the pool, Riley sat with one leg dipped into the shimmering water, her damp skin glistening under the ambient lighting.
She was lost in her phone, scrolling absentmindedly—until Ana’s voice sliced through the silence.
"Ma’am, there are some things you need to see," Ana said, her tone urgent, her fingers tightening around the sleek tablet she carried.
Riley lifted her gaze, the casualness in her posture vanishing as she registered the seriousness in Ana’s expression.
With a small sigh, she pulled herself out of the water, droplets cascading down her toned figure.
Ana was quick to hand her a towel, but Riley barely acknowledged it, her focus shifting to the device in Ana’s hands.
