"You're really going to do it here?" "I can't be more serious than this. Copper Smillow was having fun in there like he knew nothing about the devious plan he was playing. I will kill all the rats he has sent into my territory." Jeffery Huggen scratched his chin which was growing a coarse beard. He saw three bodies in front of him with gunshot wounds to the chest and head. All three looked terrible and pathetic. Then one more person looks battered with his feet and hands tied. He was the only rat Rafe had left for dessert tonight. Rafe deliberately made the rat see the tragic death of his three friends, then slowly Rafe tortured the man until he begged for his own death. “What if the police sniff out your crimes?” "I've got a plan B. Cooper Smillow won't even report me to the police even though he really wants to because he also has a string of crimes that could jeopardize his career." "What are you going to do with them after this?" "

Lexie was really happy that she had knocked on the right door. She reflexively jumped to hug Kaella tightly and cried on her shoulder for reasons she couldn't understand. She just wanted to cry and spill out all the sadness that had filled her heart since yesterday. "What's the matter with you, Lexie? Why are you crying? How was last night's party." "Very bad," Lexie muttered hoarsely. She was still reluctant to let Kaella go because she needed someone to cry on her shoulder. "Mr. Wilder carried you out of the car when you came home. She says you fainted from exhaustion. Is it true?" asked Kaella hesitantly. Kaella's eyes scanned the entire backyard. She was worried that someone from Rafe's bodyguard saw her with Lexie crying. She then pulled Lexie's body into her room. "Tell me everything inside," whispered Kaella quietly. Lexie released her arms from Kaella. She limped a little as she followed Kaella into her room. Her tears were sti

Lexie's body stiffened when she heard the sound of the soles of Rafe's shoes hitting the marble floor in his house loudly. He must be walking across the hall to the dining room. She feelings were filled with vigilance and fear. The breakfast of pancakes and bacon in front of her had become unappealing, and she had lost her appetite just because she was about to come face-to-face with Rafe. What do you think will happen? They haven't seen each other since last night. Rafe would probably explain what happened to her the night before she passed out. But maybe not. Remembering how Rafe's character is. And Lexie had seen the darkest side of Rafe which was horribly. The squeaking sound of a chair hitting the floor startled Lexie. She had been daydreaming so much that she didn't realize that Rafe was now across from her seat, looking as arrogant as ever and staring at her expressionlessly. Lexie tried to avoid Rafe's eyes which were as dark as the night by trying to look busy with

 “Jacob, can you help me in the kitchen for a minute? I'm afraid I missed a few things about today's grocery list.""What? You don't usually forget the things you need to buy."Jacob was still standing around the van. He had just cleaned the dust off the van's surface with a feather duster. Jacob always liked that the cars he drove looked clean, even though he didn't own them."We have a new member added. I'm having a bit of trouble fitting my shopping list to what we need for Lexie."Kaella was still screaming from the kitchen doorway only a few yards from where Jacob had parked his van."Tsk, I'm coming. You're so noisy, Kaella.""You're as slow as a snail."Drizielle grumbled in the doorway like a chatty old woman. When Jacob arrived, she grabbed his wrist and led him into the kitchen to help her with the grocery list they needed for the day.Lexie peered through the rose bushes that were climbing high nea

They drive for about an hour and a half. They stopped at a shoe store before entering the Warwick area to buy Lexie some decent boots. Wren couldn't bear to let Lexie wander around in thin-soled loafers in the freezing cold. Wren also bought Lexie a coat when they passed the only clothing store in the area where his father lived. Wren's car slowly slowed into a classic house with a large front yard. The sound of tires hitting gravel creaked loudly outside Wren's VW. Lexie squirmed slowly and opened her heavy heavy eyes. She was incredibly sleepy from waking up too early today and most of her energy had been drained from worrying about her condition. She always checked the rearview mirror as they drove to Warwick. She was only truly relieved when they had entered the Warwick estate and Wren had told her they were safe. After that she unconsciously fell asleep in Wren's car because her worries had evaporated slowly. She slept very soundly. Even when they stopped to buy shoes and coats,
