Margot POV
It rang again.
And again.
After several rings, I realized it was my phone.
I picked it up.
An unknown number was calling.
I stared at the screen.
Then I frowned.
My ringtone had always been the default system ringtone.
I’d never changed it.
But this wasn’t my ringtone.
Rhett slowly turned his head toward me.
His expression had gone strangely blank.
Then confusion flickered across his face.
I answered.
“Hello?”
There was silence on the other end.
A few seconds passed.
Then the call disconnected.
Before I could put the phone down, it rang again.
“Hello?”
Again, silence.
Then the call ended.
I was getting irritated.
I blocked the number.
A few seconds later, my phone rang again.
Rhett suddenly made a low, strangled sound.
He stumbled backward two steps.
