Three days ago
The hospital room was quiet, the only sound was the soft hum of machines. Leo sat beside Zara's bed, holding her hand, his mind a million miles away, replaying what had happened the last few days. He was pulled from his thoughts by his phone ringing. It was an unknown number. He hesitated, before answering it.
"Hello, who is this?"
"It's Elena." The voice was soft and fragile.
Leo's grip on Zara's hand tightened. The name hit him like a physical blow. Elena, Jayden's girlfriend, the woman who had stood by while Jayden tore Zara apart. "What do you want?" he said, his voice colder than he intended.
"I know I'm not the right person to call right now," she began, her voice trembling slightly. "But I have to tell you something about Jayden. In exchange, I need your help."
