Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown novel Chapter 107

His sister was three years older than him, around the same age as Serena. She had always been kind to him. But when she turned ten, she suddenly vanished without a trace. It was as if she had evaporated from the world, and she was never found again.

Becoming a private detective was partly Rock's quest to find his sister. He shook off the memories and refocused, responding to Serena's message.

Serena's eyes darted down, focusing on Aaron's most vulnerable spot. She squeezed her eyes shut and grasped firmly.

A pained groan echoed through the room.

Aaron released her, his expression darkening as the alcohol's haze lifted. "Serena!"
