Chapter 80

Seraphina cautiously opened the bathroom door, took a peek outside, and then tiptoed out.

Just as she reached the stairs, there was a knock at the front door Seraphina went downstairs to answer it and found two security guards at the door.

Ms. Bennett, we got a call from Mr. Lawson He asked us to check you out. The power tripped a while ago, but it should be back by now

Seraphina nodded, Alright, thanks guys.”

After the guards left, Seraphina made a call to Balch.

Seraphina chuckled. In such a hurry? The power’s back on, I’m not scared of the blackout

Before she could finish her sentence, the house plunged into darkness again.

Seraphina took a deep breath.
