The silence exceeded the point of answering, he exhaled audibly in frustration. He didn't planned to push this further but sensing her uneasiness over some new guy forced him to get real.

"Where is he?" His perilous tone warned her, "You will not put up a fight with him. I'm warning you." He got up. If she wasn't going to tell him he will search on his own. She was taken a back, she can't leave them alone together. She massaged her temple, this was not how she imagined they would meet.

Zenovia lifted her finger in the direction of his room and Hugo advanced towards his door. Her phone chose that moment to ring. She certainly was going to decline the call but one glace at the caller ID and she grew solicitude. It was her Mo- No..Foster Mom, Lara Edwards.

"Nope. In fact I'm glad. How is everything going on there?" Zenovia replied concerned only about one guy, her kai and Lara found the opening.

"Everything's fine, dear. It's just from the past few days I noticed we were being followed and when I paid close attention to their activities I saw there are more than one stalkers. I'm afraid they have found his whereabouts. Don't worry, we weren't harmed, yet." The bomb was dropped. Zenovia's brows furrowed, Lara's words were threatening enough. Zenovia had to make a move - Now!
