Chapter 16
Aurelia's POV

They placed them carefully on the floor, then left the room, leaving me alone with Rocco. "Make yourself comfortable," he said, his voice soft. I nodded, sitting down on the bed and looking around the room. I tried to take my mind off what had happened earlier, but it was impossible. Who wanted me dead? And why?
These questions swirled in my mind, keeping me from finding any peace. My heart was racing, and I could feel the tension radiating from my body. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. I closed my eyes, focusing on the sound of my breathing. In and out. In and out.
