A stepping out of Catherine's apartment, Mirabella halled a cab straightaway and
made her way back to the Davis

elevator remained on her floor, doors ready to welcome her in.
Descending back to the ground floor, Mirabella settled herself on a public bench.
Her striking beauty drew glances
passersby, including children who couldn't help but steal a few extra looks.

her head and dug out her phone to immerse herself in the digital world. Before

Y: [Please, show me some mercy.I
