NARAH’S POV The cold, clammy hand that covered my mouth was surprisingly gentle, but it sent a shiver down my spine. I struggled slightly, my breath muffled against the invading palm as my heart raced with fear. Suddenly, I heard Gina's footsteps retreating.“It's nothing. I guess I was just being paranoid,” she said.The hand withdrew. Slowly, I spun around and the shadows revealed a face I recognized— Chris. His expression was a mixture of urgency and concern. “Shh, Narah. It’s me,” he whispered, his voice barely audible.My initial panic subsided into confusion and a glimmer of relief. “Chris? What are you doing here?” I said in a hushed tone.Once again, Gina's wet moans began. The colliding of her body with the man's began almost immediately.Chris glanced around nervously before answering. “I knew you were investigating Gina. You'll be in danger if you keep doing that.”My mind raced with questions. How did he know I was onto Gina? I gulped down hard on nothing.“But I—”“We nee

NARAH'S POV “You haven't fixed my bath water, and you lost my f**king cat,” Gina snapped at me, her voice sharp as broken glass.I tried to explain calmly that she was still asleep when I arrived, and I had made sure the door was securely locked when I left, but she wouldn't give me listening ears. Frustrated, her eyes kept darting around the room, from one corner to the next, searching for her pet.Gina’s frustration was evident as she crouched, checking under the bed. She said, “I have no one to blame but you. It’s your f**king fault Rufus is gone.” She raised her head, her eyes, burning with anger, met mine. “And why the f**k are you just standing there?” she snapped. Standing up, she closed her eyes and clasped her hands together in a desperate prayer. “Rufus, my baby,” she whimpered, her voice cracking with anguish, “I will kill this maid in front of me if anything happens to you. I'll make sure this maid pays. May the moon goddess bear me witness today.”Her threat was chillin

NARAH'S POVThe girl’s amber eyes glinted with an unsettling mix of curiosity and amusement, she said, “It took you so long to hear my call.”The music had ceased abruptly, leaving only the faint rustling of leaves and my quickened breaths filling the clearing. I asked, surprised, “What do you mean?”As she started to walk closer toward me, I stepped back and picked up a stick, holding it straight ahead like a sword, trying to warn her that I was dangerous. The scenery only made her laugh. “Is that supposed to make me steer clear?” She asked. I nodded. “Well, It’s not going to work, I assure you. I’m Liora.”I became highly alert and prepared to confront her as she extended her hand for a handshake. She didn’t appear scared and maintained her composure, continuing to offer her hand, which I dismissively rejected with a stern look.“No?” She asked. I shook my head and she shoved her hand back into the pockets of her dark hoodie.“How do you know my name?”“The night of the hunt. I saw

NARAH'S POVI yawned lightly, waking up to the gentle, rhythmic sensation of someone stroking my hair. As my eyes squinted, slowly adjusting to the brightness of the room, I saw Sharon’s beautiful face and Hanadin’s warm smile.“Hey, you’re awake,” she said softly, her voice filled with affection. She glanced back at my hair and lowered her voice saying, “Your roots are obvious. You need to retouch them.”A wave of self-consciousness washed over me. I had completely forgotten about that detail. The last time Benny had helped me with my hair, it felt like a lifetime ago. I managed a nervous smile, trying to mask my unease.Hanadin’s voice broke through my thoughts. “What were you doing out in the woods by yourself?” His concern was evident, his brow furrowed with worry.That means they didn’t see Liora. Thank goodness they didn’t. Hanadin said I’d been gone for hours yesterday, but it seemed I had only been away for a couple of minutes.I must have walked a long distance because Sharo

NARAH’S POV “Thank you for the breakfast,” I said to Chris before stepping out of his car. “Hey, Chris, thank you so much,” said Sharon, dragging me away. Chris drove off as we waved goodbye to him. While we were walking down the driveway, I caught a fleeting glimpse of Liora hiding behind an oak tree, peeping at us.Goodness! She’s really persistent. I couldn't meet her now because I was with Sharon. We both walked into the estate. The scent of flowers filled the atmosphere; the gardener was mowing the lawn, and I could see Cindy watering the garden.“I’m sorry if I was being too nosey earlier,” Sharon apologised quickly, breaking the silence between us. “I mean, I know Doctor Rowan is super gorgeous; it doesn’t mean you guys are together or anything.”I didn’t want to hear any more of it, so I cut her abruptly and told her it was fine. She smiled and swung her arms around me playfully. As we walked into the mansion, James and Jeremiah were seated in the living room, having a disc
