Chris arrived at Levi's house, the oppressive, dark space reflecting the turmoil within him. The butler quietly led him to Levi's bedroom where he found him pacing restlessly, his energy a whirlwind of anxiety and barely suppressed rage. The tension in the air was palpable.
"I have to get her away from them," Levi muttered when he noticed Chris's presence. He stopped pacing and turned to him, his eyes filled with a desperate intensity. "I have to get Lyse away from Lottie, from Brooke… and from Brandon."
Chris sighed, running a hand through his hair. He knew that Levi was deeply worried about Lyse, but he also knew that the current situation was far more complex than Levi realized, there was a lot more at stake than losing a woman's love.
