The soft rays of dawn filtered through the sheer curtains, painting the room with a pale golden hue.

Emily stirred slowly, her lashes fluttering open. She sighed as she realized it was morning already — she hadn’t gotten enough sleep.

These past few weeks, she always felt sleepy. Even when she woke up, she still wanted to close her eyes and drift off again. With a soft groan, she turned back toward Denovon, reaching out to feel his warmth beside her.

But something felt different. The warmth was heavier, hotter. For a moment, she thought it was just the blanket. But when she turned her head toward him, her heart skipped a beat.

Denovon was still asleep, his brows slightly furrowed, a faint flush across his usually calm face. His breathing was steady, but there was a heat radiating from him that wasn’t normal.

Emily frowned softly and reached out, placing her palm on his forehead. It was warm ... too warm, like he had a fever.

“Hubby…” she whispered, her voice laced with worry. She touc

    The clock on the bedroom wall struck eleven thirty and Denovon was not back. Emily sat on the couch, wrapped in a light shawl, her eyes on the television but her mind far away.Denovon wasn't back home and her mind was not at rest. He had told her he'd be late, but it was almost midnight now, and she couldn't help worrying a little. His phone was not connecting too.Emily was downstairs with the others and they had told her to go to sleep and not to wait for Denovon, but here she was, still awake, waiting for him. They were still at Rowland family Mansion.After thinking for a while, she turned off the television to go sleep, but just then, the door of their bedroom opened and Denovon entered with his tie and coat in his hand. His hair was slightly messy, and his steps were a bit unstable.Emily’s heart relaxed instantly. She stood from the couch, her eyes soft but slightly worried.“Hubby, you are back,” she said gently, walking to him. She was already tired and feeling sleepy.Denov

    Reuben stood frozen, confused by the crowd’s chant. His eyes darted from face to face, unsure of what was happening. The people weren’t running or screaming like he expected...they were praising him, whispering words of thanks he didn’t understand.His hand tightened on the gun as he stepped slightly forward, keeping Claire behind him protectively. The smell of blood still hung in the air, and his instinct told him not to lower his guard yet.“What are they saying?” he muttered under his breath, his brows knitting tightly together.Then, the crowd parted slowly.An older man stepped out from among them. His gray hair was tossed about by the evening wind, and his wrinkled hands trembled as he leaned on a wooden walking stick. His clothes were worn and old, and his eyes...though tired and sunken...carried a deep emotion, something between sorrow and relief.He stopped a few steps away from Reuben and lifted one hand slightly. “Lower your gun,” the man said gently, his voice hoarse with

    “I said you should finish him too!” Claire’s voice cracked as she shouted, her face twisted in rage and pain. Her hands clenched tightly as she glared at Matthew.Reuben, who had been frozen for a moment, blinked rapidly, trying to process her sudden appearance. His heart dropped into his stomach when he saw her standing there. He didn’t want her to see this bloody scene...three bodies already lay lifeless on the floor.“Kill him!” Claire shouted again, her voice sharp like a command. Her eyes burned red as she turned to Reuben.Reuben didn’t move. His brows furrowed in confusion. Shouldn’t she be running away? he thought. Why is she telling me to kill?“Why haven’t you killed him? Kill him now!” Claire demanded as she walked fully into the house. Her steps were unsteady but filled with determination.Matthew, still on the floor, held his bleeding leg tightly. His breath came in short gasps, fear shaking his entire body. He had wanted to beg Reuben for mercy...but now, hearing Claire

    Matthew’s breath came hard and fast. Blood soaked his hand where Reuben had shot him. He sat on the cold floor, holding his wound, sweat running down his face. His eyes lifted slowly to meet Reuben’s cold stare. Reuben’s gun was still pointed at him, his finger pressing against the trigger, calm but dangerous.“I said,” Reuben repeated slowly, “tell me about Laura Dane.” His voice was colder now.At the mention of that name, the old woman on the floor trembled. Her wrinkled hands tightened against her dress. She raised her head with a bitter snort.“So that’s why you’re here,” she said, sharp and proud. “You came here to kill us because of her. That foolish girl who brought shame to this family.” Her voice dripped with anger, like Laura had done something unforgivable. The death of her husband had made her speak without care.“Careful with your words, old woman.” Reuben’s eyes went dark. He pointed the gun at her. Still she did not stop. She straightened her back proudly, as if she ha

    Reuben stood at the door of the Dane family house. It wasn’t a big house...just a normal-sized building with an old wooden gate and a small compound overgrown with weeds. He had parked his car outside and walked quietly to the front.Earlier, he had gone around asking about the Dane family, but no one in Willow Town wanted to talk. Their faces had changed the moment he mentioned the name. They acted afraid, pretending not to know, whispering among themselves. He had to threaten one man with his gun before the man, trembling, finally pointed him to this address.Now, here he was.He stood in silence for a few seconds, observing the place. The house looked quiet...too quiet. The air was heavy, almost lifeless. No sound came from inside, no sign of movement. He stood still, listening. Nothing.Finally, he knocked on the door. Once. Twice. His hand was steady, his face blank.Still no answer.He knocked again, harder this time...two firm knocks that echoed through the quiet street. After
