Chapter 27: Shocking New Information
Amelia couldn’t sleep. What had Isabel found out about her? Anything from before she turned eighteen had been sealed. That was the only blemish on her life.
Giving up on sleep, Amelia left her room. She went to her office hoping to engulf herself in work. She was knee-deep in coding when someone knocked on the door. She’d been expecting Alex.

“You’re going to have to help me with this, Amelia.”

“I’ve had some disturbing news about you.”
“Okay. Tell me what you think you know,” she said.
