GoodReadAlexander's words were calm and measured. "It's all a misunderstanding," he said.
Wayne scoffed, his voice laced with derision. "Misunderstanding? Seems like you're getting too big for your
boots!" With a disdainful flick of his sleeve, he brushed past Alexander and ascended the stairs.
The glance he cast back at Alexander was devoid of any fatherly warmth. It was a frigid stare, as it had always
been. Wayne was a man who rationed his praise, even when their business was thriving, he would not utter a
word of commendation. Yet, when troubles surfaced, he was quick to lay the blsquarely on Alexander's
shoulders, greeting him with nothing more than icy glares and furrowed brows.
Alexander, however, remained unfazed by these harsh words. He watched Wayne's retreating figure with an
indifferent gaze before turning away.
He moved towards the two servants who were still kneeling in punishment, their faces contorted in barely
endurable pain.
As Alexander approached, they pleaded for mercy. "Sir, spare us, please! We were only following orders; we're
not to blame..." "Yes, Sir, please, let us go!"
"Stay kneeling," was all Alexander said before he turned and walked away, their pleas for clemency falling on
deaf ears.
Quinn had a restless night, her sleep disturbed by the throbbing pain in her knee and a stinging sensation on her
face. By midnight, the pain had intensified, especially under the covers where the wounds felt hot and itchy.
In a fit of restlessness, she threw off the blanket and opened a window, letting the cool night air soothe the
burning sensation on her knee.

Alexander had not returned. Quinn, dragging her painful knee, made her way downstairs and was surprised to
find breakfast on the table.
A casserole bowl sat heavily on the table, a note scrawled in Alexander's handwriting tucked beneath it. His
handwriting was as decipherable as hieroglyphs, but after careful scrutiny, she made out the message: Eat well
and rest, and don't go outside.
The note advised against venturing outside, but in her current state, she had no intention of leaving the house
anyway.

Quinn sat down at the table, tasting the food and recognizing the familiar flavor of restaurant cuisine.
After eating, she had nothing left to do but curl up on the couch and watch TV.
Ever since Alexander had begun promoting Getty, she was everywhere on the screen: endorsements,
entertainment news with other celebrities.
Flicking through the channels, Quinn found that the only way to escape Getty's pervasive presence was to switch
to cartoons.
As she sat bored at home, the doorbell rang in the afternoon. Quinn's first instinct was to answer it, but
remembering Alexander's words, she stayed seated. After a while, she received a message.
Dr. Hughes: [Quinn, are you home? Alexander sentto check your wounds.]
Upon seeing the message, Quinn
