Once Krista finishes preparing lunch for Killian's meeting and his associates begin to arrive, I take myself deeper into his home where I can keep myself hidden away until they're gone. I have no doubt that Sergiu is here, wandering the hallways, and considering how boldly he walked into my
bedroom, I have no desire to be in there if he chooses to do it again.
I find the library and try to immerse myself in a book in the furthest corner from the entrance, which also allows me the perfect view of the expansive driveway through the bay windows. I keep my gaze focused on the pages of the book, but after two hours of hiding out in here, I haven't taken in a single word.
Instead, my attention has been on the bay window, watching and waiting for everyone to leave.
The property is so big with dozens of cars lingering outside. It's impossible to tell which of those cars belongs to staff or guests, so until I can be sure that the meeting is over, I'l be staying right here.
