A Caged Songbird's Escape: Into the Arms of a Predator novel Chapter 517

They were all the brands she swore by.

If she was merely a little surprised by the man's meticulousness in the bathroom, stepping into the walk-in closet left her utterly speechless.

Over the years, as she grew older, her fashion sense had changed multiple times.

Every single style she had ever worn was in here.

And just like her changing age, everything was hung up meticulously from inside out.

It was almost obsessive-compulsive.

She had a very good idea whose management style that reflected.

It felt like a soft feather was brushing gently against her heart, over and over again.

Just as she reached out to open the bottom drawers, Rowan cleared his throat behind her, sounding slightly awkward. "You look around. I'll step out. Tell Mrs. Gable if you need anything."

Mrs. Gable was the head housekeeper of Rivercross Residence.

Ian and Evan were practically raised by her.

Elissa nodded, oblivious. "Okay."

As the man's footsteps faded down the hall, Elissa pulled open the drawer, and her face instantly turned beet red.

Inside...

Were perfectly sized, washed, and sanitized undergarments!

She picked up a bra and realized it was exactly her size.

Not a fraction off.

When had he learned her current measurements?!

Years ago, when her body first started developing, she had been completely clueless.

It was Rowan who had taken her to the department store to buy her first bras. When they walked out holding the shopping bags, both of them had been blushing furiously.

Later on, as she grew older and understood what was happening, she became far too embarrassed to ask him. She either bought them herself or dragged Mrs. Gable along.

She hadn't realized she was the only one who felt awkward about it.

Cotton, lace—everything she could ever need was neatly folded in front of her.

Sure, spending every waking moment together was a nice bonus, but Rex figured there had to be a deeper reason.

Rowan sat down lazily, making no effort to hide the truth. "It's safer for her here."

"You're worried Orion Stone might pull something?"

"Yeah."

The incident with the counterfeit drugs had caused a massive uproar online. DK Medical had taken a brutal hit, and their stock had plummeted.

Now that a few days had passed, Orion was likely plotting his next move.

No matter how good the security at Vistapeak Gardens was, someone could always slip through the cracks.

Rowan wasn't willing to gamble with Elissa's safety.

With that explanation, it all clicked for Rex. He grabbed his phone and stood up, verifying one last time. "So you're really not going back? That apartment is completely mine for now?"

What if Elissa ended up kicking Rowan out of the residence, and he came running back to Vistapeak?!

Who would Rex complain to then?!
