Rome, Italy.
Alliana's pov:
We were supposed to return to the mansion, but as expected, plans changed, and we were off to a mall. The ride was eerily quiet, and I found myself struggling to breathe, wedged between the bodyguards. I couldn't resist the temptation to test them, to see how they'd react if I faked passing out. So, I waited a few moments, then did just that, watching for their response.
I leaned against the bodyguard next to me, pretending to lose consciousness. It didn't take long before Kai's head snapped toward me. "What the hell is going on?" he asked. The other two bodyguards turned to look. "Is she sleeping?" one of them muttered. "If she was, we'd have heard her snoring," another one said.
