He handed her a sealed envelope before disappearing into the night.

Confused and uneasy, she hurried home before opening it. Inside was a single sheet of paper with a typed message:

"Stay away from Xander Drakov if you value your life."

Her hands trembled as she read the words. She grabbed her phone and dialed Xander's number. It went straight to voicemail.

Amelia: "Xander, it's me. I received a threat tonight. I don't know what's going on, but I thought you should know."

She hung up, feeling more isolated than ever.

Meanwhile, at the estate, Xander sat alone in his study, staring at his phone. He had listened to Amelia's message multiple times, guilt gnawing at him.

Marcus entered quietly.

Marcus: "We have a situation."

Xander: Not looking up "What now?"

Marcus: "Amelia received a threat tonight."

Xander's head snapped up.

Xander: "What? How?"

Marcus: "An anonymous message delivered in person."

Xander: "I thought you had someone watching her."

Marcus: "We did. Whoever delivered the message was skilled—our man lost track of them."

Xander stood abruptly.

Xander: "I need to see her."

Marcus: "Is that wise? You just ended things."

Xander: "I don't care. She needs protection."

Marcus nodded.

Marcus: "Then we need a plan."

Amelia sat curled up on her couch, clutching a pillow. A knock at her door startled her.

Amelia: "Who is it?"

Xander's Voice: "It's me."

Her heart leaped. She hesitated before opening the door.

Amelia: "What are you doing here?"

Xander: "I got your message. I had to make sure you're okay."
