CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Sandro offered to take Lucky out, and Serena was only too happy to let him since it was so cold. Her heart filled with affection for him. He would be the kind of dad who’d go comfort the baby in the middle of the night rather than just bumping her awake and telling her it was crying.

Stop it, Serena! Letting herself think about Sandro as a loving dad was one sure route to madness. He was a prince. He had servants to get babies in the middle of the night. And most likely even if the impossible happened and this did turn into an actual relationship, he’d be busy traveling to bring solar power to the world and wouldn’t even be aware of any midnight disturbances back at home.

And she’d better hurry up and shower before he came back so he didn’t catch her naked.

What if he expected to make love with her? She’d been hesitant enough about that in the privacy of his mountain retreat. Here, under his mom’s roof, with about a million people within earshot, having steamy sex was about the last thing she wanted to do.

She rushed through her shower and donned her plain blue pj’s, then plugged in her phone to charge and climbed under the heavy covers of her dramatic four-poster bed.

It was only then that she remembered the ghost. What did ghosts do again? In movies they mostly fluttered around trying to scare people but didn’t cause any actual harm—unlike whoever was out to kill key members of the Leone family. She had more to fear from living, breathing humans than from spooky beings.

Which reminded her of the text she’d received. She’d turned off the sound on her phone for dinner as she didn’t want the meal interrupted by her social media notifications. She should check up on her video and comments before bedtime, so she reached for her phone.

There was a text from Asia. How was Chi-town? Call me!

Serena sighed. It was almost impossible to believe that she’d been in Chicago yesterday. It felt like at least a week ago! And she felt like she’d gone a week without sleep. Pregnancy was really sapping her energy. She had way less get-up-and-go and already wanted to sleep one or two more hours most nights.

She texted back. I’m in Europe with Sandro. Long story. Will update soon! She didn’t have the energy to go into detail right now. Her body was ready to sink into the thick feather mattress.

There was another text from a number she didn’t recognize, and when she clicked on the thread she could see it was from the same mystery texter as before. Boo! I am the ghost in your room.

She sat bolt upright in bed and suppressed the urge to scream. She glanced around, knowing that of course it wasn’t the ghost, just someone trying to scare her.

Another, longer text came in. Did I frighten you? Good. Your stay in Altaleone will be short, and you have important work to do.
