CH.94

Back at the secluded villa

An oppressive sense of tension weighed heavy and suffocating as the once serene infirmary now felt like a fortress under siege.

Meredith's lips were pressed into a thin, grim line while her brow furrowed deeply in contemplation and disbelief at the events that had just transpired.

She had narrowly managed to subdue that mysterious witch, or whatever malevolent entity it was, that had tried spying on them.

Meredith locked gazes with Knox. Her eyes were hard and steely yet filled with concern.

Her lips tightened even further together as she took in Knox’s tense stance.

Enzo standing nearby with his arms crossed over his broad chest, could practically feel the waves of misery and rage roiling off Meredith in scorching hot flashes.

He had known her long enough to recognize that look - she was absolutely livid, but also unsettled in a way he had rarely witnessed in ages.

"What did you see?" Enzo asked gruffly.

But Meredith didn't offer any answer.
