Kaitlyn and Alexander locked gazes, their silent stare-down akin to a fierce competition. As Kaitlyn's thoughts
raced, her anger swelled, her nails digging into the soft flesh of her palms.
She was resolute. She would not stand by and let him betray her or harm her people for another woman's sake.
After what felt like an eternity, Alexander finally broke the silence. "Of course not."
Kaitlyn's brows furrowed in confusion. "You didn't send the Evelyn Reed away?"
"Of course not."
"I want to believe you, Alexander. But if she's not found, I'll hold you responsible," Kaitlyn warned.
A soft chuckle escaped Alexander's lips, devoid of any discernible emotion. He rose from his seat, towering over
Kaitlyn. "Why not just outright accuseof taking her?"

to her," Kaitlyn declared, her gaze unwavering.
"I wish you luck then, and | hope you find her soon," Alexander replied, hands sliding into his pockets as he made
his way to the door.
"Alexander, when will you get a divorce?" Kaitlyn called out after him.

"Is she awake?"
"Yes, she woke up a while ago, but she should be asleep again now."
With a nod, Alexander ascended the stairs, pushing open the bedroom door to find Quinn sitting by the bedside.
Her face was a mask of calm, betraying no emotion as she regarded the man at the door. Only the throbbing
pain in her fingertips served as a stark reminder of past events.
Memories, too deeply etched to be forgotten, haunted her. The signing of the divorce papers, the blood stains on
the agreement - they were all too vivid. As Alexander approached, her eyes tracked his every move.
He exuded an icy aura, his wet sleeves chilling to the touch. As he reached out to touch her face, the water from
his sleeve brushed against her skin, amplifying the cold. Quinn tilted her head slightly, evading his hand.
Alexander didn't insist. He withdrew his hand, asking, "Are you feeling better?"
Quinn nodded, offering no further response.
His gaze fell on her fingers. "Are your hands still hurting?"
Quinn shook her head.
