GoodReadA two-second silence hung in the air before Quinn reached out, pulling the car door open and sliding into the
vehicle.
Beside her sat Alexander, his gaze so intense it felt as though he w ere about to dissect her with it. Quinn kept
her head down, not daring to look up and gauge his mood. To her relief, he remained silent.
In the driver's seat, Kyle held his breath, minimizing his presence as he drove steadily. The interior of the car was
eerily quiet, so silent that Quinn could hear her own breathing.
The car moved slowly and smoothly on the way home, with Quinn's eyes darting to the night scene receding
outside the window. With each mile closer to home, her anxiety heightened.
Forty minutes later, they pulled up in front of the villa. Kyle discreetly exited the vehicle and left, giving the two
sspace. Alexander remained silent.
Quinn bit her lip and mustered the courage to steal a glance at him. He was leaning back in his seat, his form
enveloped in darkness, his silhouette just barely visible. Hesitant, Quinn reached out and tugged on his sleeve.
Only then did Alexander turn his head and rest his gaze on her face. Quinn looked down.
Alexander reached out and lifted her face, asking, "What have you been up to these past three days?"
Quinn stiffened, memories of those days flashing through her mind, her head beginning to throb faintly. She
raised her hand to explain, "Abigail and | didn't do anything. We were both kidnapped by someone..." Alexander
cut her off, "I know who it is. I'm asking what you two did."

for her. And he still had the audacity to ask what Walter and she had done in these days.
She should be used to it by now-his indifference, his coldness. But his question still cut deep. Quinn felt as if a
knife had slashed across her heart, leaving her bleeding profusely.
She forced a smile.
She laughed at her own sentimentality, how cheap her years of adoration had turned out to be, and how right
Walter was. She really was despicable... "Answer me."
Quinn looked deep into the face veiled in darkness, swallowing the dull pain in her heart, and gestured with her
hand, "What do you think a man and a woman alone would do?" Quinn meticulously pointed out every detail to
him. "We've done everything."

His hand clamping her jaw suddenly tightened, and Quinn's face contorted in pain.
"Really?" He leaned in closer suddenly, his face emerging from the shadows. "And what exactly did you do?
Show me."
Quinn froze, her dumbstruck gaze locked on his, feeling a sharp pain in her chest as if someone was clutching
her heart. It throbbed painfully.
"| did everything you taught me. Haven't you seen it all already?" she gestured.
Alexander's expression darkened gradually as if storm clouds were gathering, and cracks appeared in his
otherwise composed demeanor.
"Did you do it voluntarily?"
Quinn's lips pressed together. She struggled to muster a response.

Seeing his brooding look, she suddenly desired to witness the complete crumbling of his icy facade. He would
never allow others to meddle with his possessions, not without facing his wrath.
She stared him down with a defiant, do-or-die resolution and gave a slight nod.
To her disappointment, all Quinn
heard was a deep inhalation. Mhen.

There was water in the tub, now cold and uninviting.
