Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 445

It was a shock that hit me like a freight train—the wallpaper on Zora's phone was a picture of my son, Carl. Anger coursed through me as I bent to grab her phone, but Zora was quicker.

She lunged forward, shoving me aside, then snatched up her phone with a look of panic flickering in her eyes.

I steadied myself and demanded with an outstretched hand, "Give me that phone!"

Zora clutched the phone behind her back and began to back away, retorting, "Why should I give you my phone?"

My voice was stern, laced with controlled fury. "If it's your phone, why on earth does it have a photo of my son on it?"

She shifted her gaze, defiantly snapping back, "I raised that kid since he was a baby. Can't I keep a snapshot?"

"No!" I cut her off decisively. "Delete it!"

A wave of disgust washed over me. The thought of her holding onto a photo of my son was just revolting.

Zora stiffened her neck, grinning wickedly. "What if I don't? What can you do—"

Before she could finish, Hannah had stealthily moved behind Zora and swiped the phone with a swift motion.

Zora was truly frantic now, lunging for the phone in Hannah's grasp. "What are you doing? Give it... give it to me!"

A deep growl echoed through the hallway, "What the hell is going on here?"

The noise brought a sudden silence. Zora and Hannah instantly became still. Hannah held the phone aloft, her gaze turning toward the source of the voice with disdain.

I didn't need to look to know who had arrived; the voice was all too familiar.
