Chapter 73
Three Days Later
Drogen and Natasha returned home hand in hand, the silence between them heavy after their visit to her father and brother's graves. It was their death anniversary, and the weight of the day lingered in the air. For Natasha, the visit had been emotional, but for Drogen, who wasn't used to offering comfort, the entire trip had been awkward. Despite his quiet nature, he'd stayed by her side, his presence comforting her through the difficult moments.
As they reached Drogen's apartment, the atmosphere changed instantly. Drogen's steps slowed, his expression turning sour as he spotted a grim reaper waiting for him in the hallway. His protective instincts kicked in, and his grip on Natasha's hand tightened as they approached.
"What's going on?" Drogen asked, his voice sharp as his piercing gaze swept over the nervous grim reaper standing by his doorway.
