Chapter 55

“Goodbye.” I say softly before I step back and turn away.

“Bye…” She replies.

Alejandro turns back to look at her from the door and both stare at one another and I know they’re mind-linking.

Way to go Royce.

I sigh as I walk silently alongside Alejandro, knowing he’ll speak soon enough. We head down the stairs to the ground floor and only then does he speak.

“So care to share what exactly you fucking want?” Alejandro asks.
