Chapter 5 - Renato Promised to Protect Me, but Someone Broke Into His Mansion and Left My Notebook on His Father's GraveI woke to screaming.
Guards rushed through the mansion.
My notebook was gone.
So was one of Renato's father's photographs.

On the grave.
Beside it was a message.
THE GIRL KNOWS TOO MUCH.
Renato became furious.
He wanted to move me somewhere safe.
I refused.

"Neither were you when your father died."
He had no answer.
That was the moment our relationship changed.
