Arabella Vanderbilt settled into the guest room arranged by Joel Russo.
After a quick shower, she looked around the unfamiliar room and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A feeling of security she hadn't known before.
She was never one to rely on others, but being with Joel Russo, she felt an overwhelming sense of peace!
Thinking back to the scene she witnessed in the apartment building earlier that day, the crazed actions of those people, she now felt a sense of foreboding in hindsight.
If it weren't for Joel Russo insisting on taking her home tonight, if it weren't for his idea to have Vincent drive her car, then not only would her car not have been safe tonight, but she herself might have ended up battered and bloody.
Thank goodness for Joel Russo…
Taking a deep breath, she eventually climbed into bed, nestling herself into the comfortable bedding.
So much had happened today, enough to drain her of too much energy.
