One morning, instead of the usual strong men guarding Isla's every move, a woman showed up at the entrance to her room. She was tall and graceful, with intense dark eyes that seemed to quickly assess everything. Her black clothes were similar to the men's, but she gave off a different vibe. While the men were like walls, she was like a sharp object hidden in something soft.
Dante introduced her quickly and without any extra words. "Elena will be watching you."
That was it. No reason was given. No details were shared. Just the brief statement before he disappeared back into his busy and chaotic life, leaving Isla with a stranger whose quietness was more powerful than most men's threats.
