The Price of His Mercy Chapter 10
The lawyer pushed the pen toward Rhett."All that remains is your signature."Rhett did not take it. His gaze remained fixed on the final page, his brows tightly furrowed."What if I refuse to sign?"The lawyer answered calmly. "She is prepared to proceed with litigation."Rhett looked up at me, his eyes bloodshot."Do you really have to go this far?""Yes."His lips pressed into a thin line, and a flicker of helpless embarrassment crossed his face. I did not rush him.Rhett lowered his eyes, his voice hoarse."I don't know what to do anymore."Hearing those words from him was so unfamiliar that I stared at him for a moment in surprise.His fingers pressed against the edge of the document, and his lashes gradually grew damp."That night in the basement... I went down there afterward. It was so cold inside."I said nothing.His eyes slowly reddened."I knew you were afraid, yet I still did that to you."I lowered my gaze and replied calmly, "That's all in the past."Rh

The next day, when I left the apartment, his car was still parked downstairs.It was there on the third day, too.On the fourth day, when I returned from the horse ranch, I found him standing by the roadside."Have you eaten?"I ignored him.He followed me."Nancy."I was beginning to lose patience."How long are you planning to stay here?"Rhett's expression stiffened."Until you agree to come home with me.""Then you can keep waiting."His expression darkened instantly, but unlike before, he did not order me to stop.That evening, I received a call from Matthew."Donna."I frowned."Don't call me that anymore."Matthew paused."Madam, the investigation into Lauren's accident is complete."My hand stopped at the rim of my cup."What happened?""The car was tampered with, but it was someone on her own team who did it. She also deliberately planted that access token in the car."I said nothing, so Matthew continued."She wanted the Boss to believe that someone was

A black sedan was parked outside my apartment building.When the car door opened, I stopped in my tracks.Rhett stepped out. It had only been a few days, but he had visibly lost weight, and faint dark circles shadowed his eyes."Nancy."I continued walking.He followed me."Come home with me."I stopped and turned to face him."You flew all the way here just to say that?"Rhett's brows knitted together."I've transferred the entire Guardia back to the estate. I've also revoked Lauren's authority. And I got your mother's brooch back for you. All right?"I shrugged."So?"His expression stiffened."What do you mean, 'so'?"I've done everything I can to put things back the way they were."Confusion crept into Rhett's voice."Now come home with me."I stared at him, unable to stop the bitter smile tugging at my lips.His expression immediately darkened."What is it this time?""Put things back the way they were," I repeated. "And then what?"Rhett's gaze grew colder b

There was a brief silence on the other end of the line. Rhett probably had not expected me to respond so curtly.When he finally spoke again, his voice had grown colder. "Send me your address.""What for?""I'm coming to get you."He sounded so casual, as if I had simply left home in a fit of anger and rented a place for a few days.I lowered my head and began unfastening my gloves."There's no need."Rhett's voice turned displeased."Are you still not done with this?"My fingers froze. "What did you just say?""I've already transferred the Guardia back. Matthew and the others will take orders only from you from now on. I'll deal with Lauren too."His tone softened."Come home. I'll let the things that happened over the past few days slide."I could not help laughing. Two short, bitter laughs escaped me, and he immediately asked, "What are you laughing at?""Rhett, do you still think I'm throwing a tantrum?""Aren't you?" His voice turned cold again. "You got angry over

Outside the window, a crystal-clear lake stretched into the distance. The house was small, but its interior was warm and inviting.That afternoon, I visited a horse ranch on the outskirts of town.Before I got married, I had loved horseback riding.When my father was still alive, he took me riding every spring.After I married Rhett, I went riding twice during the first few years. Then the family business grew more demanding, and my riding boots were tucked away in a closet, never to be worn again.A staff member led over a chestnut mare."Been a while since you last rode?"I smiled and held up seven fingers."Seven years."The staff member laughed."Take it slow, then."My arms were still a little stiff as I stepped into the stirrup and swung myself into the saddle. However, once the mare broke into a run and the wind rushed against my face, I could not help laughing out loud.By the time I dismounted, my calves were trembling from the strain.Even so, I went out and boug

At the very bottom was my signature.An icy smirk tugged at Rhett's lips."Well, look who's finally grown a backbone."Felix wisely kept his mouth shut.Rhett flipped the agreement back to the first page."Where is she?""She left the estate around five this morning. She took her usual car.""Where did she go?""We're still checking with the airport."Rhett clenched his fists, and the atmosphere around him grew even more oppressive."She walked out of the estate, and you're only telling me now that you have no idea where she went?"Sweat beaded on Felix's forehead."The men at the back entrance thought Donna was just stepping out for a while. They didn't report it."Rhett's jaw tightened."Find her."Two hours later, the flight records arrived at his study.Felix spoke in a low voice."At six this morning, a plane took off from Palmerwood. Donna was on the passenger list."Rhett's gaze turned icy."Destination?""Zerwick.""Zerwick..." He repeated the name through
