"Why wouldn't you get rid of that gun?" I asked, feeling my stomach turn.

Harry looked at me as if I was a ghost. As if he couldn't hear or see me.

"Why didn't you call me?" He yelled, walking past me. "Why did you even let a stranger inside?"

I walked after him as he collected my clothes from the couch before turning to face me. "I don't have my phone with me and he said you were an old friend," I tried to reason, but he began shaking his head. He wasn't even listening to me!

Then he began laughing, his nerves taking the best of him. He pushed my clothes against my chest before he ran a hand through his hair, pulling it back as he looked at the ceiling for answers.

"You're going home," he decided, walking past me.

I raised my brows at him, turning on my heels and following him with my eyes. "What?" I screeched, "What if he follows me home?"

"You should've thought about that before letting him inside," he said back, rummaging through his stuff.

There was no point in fighting, Harry had already decided. And in no matter of time, he drove me home with Liam's car. He didn't speak to me on the way there. His expression remained blank as he stared at the road. And once we were in front of the mansion, he left me there with the keys in my hand as he walked away.

I rang the bell on the door, looking around as I waited. My brows furrowed when I noticed two cars in front of the garage. Why were my uncles here and not in the hospital to visit Liam?

My question remained unanswered when Amanda answered the door, taking me out of my thoughts. However, my smile reached only halfway before it fell. Her uniform was replaced with a black button-up shirt, a black skirt, and a black headscarf.

What the f—

"My deepest condolences, Miss Melanie," she murmured lowly, her voice breaking into tears midway. She looked down at the floor to hide her face.

Who died? Did someone from my father's side pass away?

"Who did we lose?" I asked, stepping inside the house.

Amanda closed the door behind me, not answering my question. She came back beside me and I eyed her for some clues. However, it was a lost cause.
