line; and I couldn't afford to be one of those people who had a smear campaign started against me.
No, | needed to think about this rationally. But first, | needed to worry about Nina, about our child.
| was lost in my thoughts when there was a knock on the door of my hotel room. | hurriedly finished packing and
went to answer it, not expecting to find anyone there other than housekeeping.
But to my surprise, it was...
"Good morning, Enzo."
"Mila? What are you doing here?"
Her lips stretched into a thin smile, painted red. The lipstick still looked wet and fresh, like she had just put it on."
Tim askedto drive you to the airport," she said, folding her arms across her chest. "He didn't tell you?"
| furrowed my brow, finding Tim's request rather unusual. "He didn't mention it," | said, a hint of suspicion in my
voice. "But | can take a cab or an Uber. You don't have to go out of your way,"
Mila shook her head, her expression determined. "No, Tim insisted, and I'm here to make sure you get to the
airport safely. Please, lettake you."
| sighed, realizing that arguing further would be futile. "Alright, Mila," | said, feeling resigned. "Thank you for your
help."

Mila pulled into a parking space and turned to look at me. "Here we are," she said with a grin. "Are you excited to
head back to the middle of nowhere?"
| nodded, reaching for my jacket on the back seat. "Yeah, I'm looking forward to going home," | said. "To see my-"
But then it happened. As | was turning toward the back seat to grab my jacket, Mila suddenly leaned closer,
grabbed my face in her hands, forcedto look at her, and...
She kissed me.
| was taken aback and pushed her away instinctively without so much as a second thought. But | pushed her with
more force than | intended, and she hit her head against the window with a thud.
Blood began to trickle down from her forehead, and | immediately felt a wave of panic wash over me. "Shit. Mila,
I'm so sorry," | exclaimed, reaching for a tissue to help stop the bleeding.
But as | tried to tend to her injury, | realized that something was terribly wrong. Mila's grip on my wrist was far
stronger than it should have been, and her eyes... her eyes were a strange, inhuman shade, a color | couldn't
even begin to describe.
| managed to wrench my arm free, but not before her nails dug into my skin. "Mila?" | asked, my eyes narrowing.
Mila's eyes, still that eerie color, locked onto mine. She spoke in a low, threatening tone.
