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.

Seraphina nodded, Alright, thanks guys.”

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

Seraphina took a deep breath.
