After what felt like an eternity, Walter finally stopped the car.
Quinn, with her palms sweaty from nervousness, looked out to see nothing but wilderness surrounding them.
Walter got out, slamming the door behind him and then went around to yank open the passenger side, pulling
Quinn out abruptly.
She stumbled and fell as she exited, but he quickly hoisted her back up with ease. She felt as insignificant as a
chick in his grip.Gripping her wrist tightly, he started heading into the woods with Quinn staggering behind him.
Although the rain hadn't fallen, the grass was wet with dew, and it wasn't long before Quinn's pant cuffs and
shoes were soaked through.
After a long walk, Quinn no longer had the strength to go on, and she simply sat down, her legs giving out

"Get up," he demanded.Quinn looked up at him. Perhaps it was the unexpected softness in his voice, lightly
tinged with amusement, that lacked intimidation.
She shook her head subconsciously; she really couldn't go any further. Still holding her wrist, Walter simply
started dragging her along when she didn't move.

After a moment of silence, Alexander turned to glance at the phone in Kyle's hand before walking away from the
wreckage. "Keep looking, they're still in Amber Bay.""Yes, sir..."Kyle scratched his head in bewilderment.
He couldn't understand why Alexander, who was usually so hot-tempered when Quinn ran away from home, was
this composed about her kidnapping. Did he believe Walter was a good man who wouldn't harm Quinn?But that
didn't seem like

Walter was known to disregard even his own wife; how could he treat Quinn any better? Puzzled yet unable to
decipher Alexander's thoughts, Kyle hurried to keep pace.
Meanwhile, Wayne had returned, and he was seething with anger. He had never imagined his own daughter
would betray him. Nor did he expect her to be so malicious as to murder her own sister.
Before Freya was taken away, she had received a file on Walter. The information was accurate, except... the
photo didn't match.

The man wasn't the real Walter at all; every detail about him was fabricated. Freya found it absurd that the man
she'd lived with for two years, whom she'd called her husband, was a complete impostor. Faced with
incontrovertible evidence from Xavier, she had no room for denial and admitted her guilt.
Her only hope now was that
Alexander would cto her rescue.
