Chapter 43
Kaeleen's POV
I walked out of the bathroom, feeling a little lost. Astrid was finally safe, but I couldn't shake the feeling that more trouble was coming. Leon wouldn't just let her go. He was too possessive, too controlling. I knew he would come looking for her.
I found Alex waiting for me in the living room, his face serious.
"What's up?" I asked, trying to keep my voice casual.
Alex sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It's Leon," he said. "He knows Astrid is gone."
I gave hima nod. We already knew that he would find out sooner or later. The fact that it took him this long was laughable.
Alex explained. "He sent a search party after her. They haven't found her yet, but it's only a matter of time."
"Does he know she's here?" I asked.
Alex shook his head. "Not yet. But he's suspicious. He knows she wouldn't just leave without a trace."
