She opened it quickly and saw the message: "Looking so happy, but for how many days?" Eliza's expression turned alert, her eyes widening in alarm.
Vaughn, noticing the change in her demeanor, leaned in to look at her phone. As he read the message, his expression darkened, a mix of anger and concern flashing across his face. "Let me see that," he said, his voice low and dangerous.
Eliza handed him her phone, her hands trembling slightly. "Just who could this be from and what do they want from me?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Vaughn's jaw tightened as he scanned the message again. He placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, his touch firm and comforting. "With me beside you, don't worry, they won't be able to touch you. If they try, they will have to face me."
Eliza nodded, trying to draw strength from Vaughn's confidence. "I just don't understand why someone would want to threaten me. I haven't done anything to anyone."
