Leo's POV
I stood in the center of Leonard's hotel room, my heart broken into pieces. I had spent the last thirteen hours fueled by a desperate, panicked need to track Scarlett down. I had scoured Nigeria, terrified she had vanished into some dark corner of the world where I could never reach her—only to come back to Australia empty-handed and exhausted.
And now, here was my brother, barking orders and demanding truths I wasn't allowed to speak.
"What I do is none of your business, Leonard," I snapped, my voice filled with annoyance. "I have a life outside this circle. Respect that."
"Respect?" Leonard laughed, a harsh, ugly sound. "You've been acting like a weirdo since you returned from Nigeria. You lie about where you're going; you lie about what you're doing. We are triplets, Leo. We are supposed to be a unit, but you're treating me like an outsider."
