Chapter 29: You Think You’ve Won?
(TYLER)
Later that evening, my meeting with Lucia gets cancelled. Matter of fact, the whole dinner is called off. Mr. Adonis’ health takes a turn for the worse, and I am told to stay in my room, and that someone will be sent to bring my dinner.

I’m not sure how to respond to that so I remain silent. His eyes scan me from where he is standing. He keeps his hands behind his back.
"Are your family rich?" he asks
