Chapter 20 We Both Ruined Ourselves

• "We're not going to argue anymore, Alexa! You go to work with me! Tomorrow, I'll make sure they set up an office right next to mine for you, but I guarantee that I won't lose sight of you from now on!" Scott declared with frustration, and Alexa didn't respond, she just turned her back and went upstairs to the bedroom.
• She entered the bathroom without taking off her clothes and turned on the shower... and cried like she hadn't allowed herself to cry in a long time. Damn it! It seemed like life was determined to work against her.
• Half an hour later, she got up, finished showering, and sat on the edge of the bed, feeling a deep sense of unease inside her. The room seemed so silent and still, as if everything had stopped. She knew it had nothing to do with Alberto or Claudette, they didn't even imagine she was still alive, but she was still in danger. Her eyes filled with tears, and at that moment, Scott entered the room. He saw Alexa sitting on the bed with a somber look, hesitated for a moment, but then approached her and sat beside her, wrapping his arm around her shoulders in a comforting manner.
