Chapter 54 CHOSEN\'S HOUSE

NAYA’S P O V

I was in the taxi on the way to Chosen’s house when I received a call from Hilda, one of the servers at the restaurant where I worked at night.

‘‘Mrs. Filan is dead…’’ she started crying. ‘‘She took an excessive amount of pain reliever last night…’’

As I listened to her recount the story of how the gracious proprietor took her own life, my hands were shaking and my heart was beating so quickly.

‘‘The restaurant will be temporarily closed for a month…’’ Hilda’s final words before she hung up the phone left me devastated. I had no choice but to look for another night job again.

A short time later, the taxi pulled up in front of a massive house, and my jaw dropped as I hopped out. I can’t believe this is actually Chosen’s house…

‘‘Would you like to come in?’’ I was so focused on admiring his house that I failed to notice that Chosen was already at the gate, waiting for me to arrive.
