Alessandra wasn't thrilled by the news of Daniel coming to Lockwood with Rose. She had no positive interactions with him and what he had said to Edgar was out of line. Rose was being petty, but did it need to go this far? Why was it hard to sit down, have a simple conversation, and promise not to be so controlling in the future?

"I can convince my parents to make him stay if it upsets you, Alessandra. I don't see why Daniel wants to be in the same town as Edgar after Edgar broke his teeth. Well, there is Rose's house that he is after. He truly believes that he can get his hands on it. I will speak to my mother," Dominic promised.

Instead of five," she looked at the group standing by the balcony door. "I might end up with ten. I have not seen Hazel walk around with so many guards."
