Crises in Love novel Chapter 604

I swallowed, my heart pounding like a drum in my chest. "Did Marilyn try to signal to Hazel that the AzureEnchantress took her? But what do these letters mean?" I asked.

Hannah's face was a storm cloud of worry. We didn't need to voice it. If my hunch was correct, this spelled bad news.

Pointing at the cryptic letters, I quizzed Hannah, but she shook her head in confusion.

"This one is an R... and this one is either an H or an N. 49C! What on earth does that mean?" Hannah muttered to herself, squinting at the paper. "What does it represent?"

I also tried to make sense of it but failed.

The room had grown dark, and Hannah tugged at my sleeve. "We've got to go and show Ronan. Maybe he can crack it. It has to be a clue Marilyn left behind."

We pocketed the note and hurried back to Serene Garden Homes.

Ronan and Logan poured over the note, and soon we were all on the same page. The pattern must be the emblem of the AzureEnchantress.

Marilyn had sent a message to Hazel, warning her that those who took them bore this mark, the same as the AzureEnchantress!

But the letters were gibberish to us.

Logan looked over at Ronan. It was time we dug deeper into this AzureEnchantress character.

Ronan instructed Logan to find a pretext to bring Jaylan in to wring out whatever he knew about the AzureEnchantress and start rattling the members of the High-rollers Hangout, shaking the Enchantress out of hiding.

And to keep an eye on Jerome's reactions, they might have to let him loose if necessary.

Logan snapped his gaze to Ronan. "That could be risky!"

"Maybe not," Ronan countered, cool as a cucumber. "Jerome's just a middleman. He might not have a leg to stand on out there."

"But what if he's valuable? Aren't we just freeing the tiger back into the forest?" Logan was hesitant. "We've had him on a tight leash for long. He’s about to snap!"

"For the sake of the child, we have no choice!" Ronan's tone brooked no argument.

I looked at Ronan, touched and with misty eyes.

"Thank you," I said sincerely.

Ronan didn't bite. He had made up his mind.
