Chapter 59: Someone Always Knows More
When the sun finally rose with colors that did not match the mood of the morning, Danielle found herself in the back seat of the black car, staring blankly at the scenery passing by.
Her hands trembled and continued to shake on her lap, though she tried to hide it from Felix.
Felix, on the other hand, was almost humming with satisfaction. He adjusted his collar and checked his reflection in the window.
He looked pleased with himself…very pleased like a kid who was bringing good grades back home.
"You are going to feel better once you see him," Felix said with a little grin. "The president always knows what to do."
Danielle rolled her eyes and took in a deep breath. She only hugged herself tighter. Her chest felt hollow, full of fear, anger, and heartbreak that she could not organise into words.
Felix cleared his throat, trying to sound more casual.
"He will be thankful I brought you home… away from Theo's mess."
