The sound of someone's lazy clucking immediately pulled Svanna back to the surface. She almost gasped, immediately turning to Orlando's face to see how the man would react next. He shouldn't. She shook her head faintly as a small hint, just so Orlando could underline not to create drama here. It was enough to know Nightroe was preparing the main course of the scenery, which was arguably not worth it. A brother-in-law walked into the room, and they had a conversation. Svanna wished she had sent Orlando away earlier, before ending up in this situation. "I am free to do anything, anywhere, including this place. Why did you come back so soon? Shouldn't you be busy taking care of your business with—" "Shut your fucking mouth." Orlando would never understand, but curiosity snuck in as Nightroe suddenly stopped his brother from needing to talk; the need to say something, perhaps, would have been easily obtained until it became a part lost to civilization.

It had never occurred to her that Nightroe would hold such a conclusion. The coils in Svanna's mind violently refused. That was clearly not true. She had morals that needed to be well-maintained and would certainly not let Nightroe talk about anything more without promising proof. "Watch your mouth," she argued defiantly. "Then why did you allow that little bastard to be here?" "He came in on his own." "Came in on his own..." Nightroe repeated her words, as if they were a clichéd excuse that could not be believed. Svanna didn't care. Will tried not to think about whether Nightroe could really take things more seriously—that, indeed, was the reality they needed to learn. Their relationship had never been good. Perhaps trust should not be needed. It was completely useless, especially when Nightroe's sapphire eyes were still staring unbelievably sharp. "You could have chased him away, but you didn't," the man added in a sardonic whisper. Instinctively conjuring up the wor

"Shhh..."The hissing sound of tendrils pulled Svanna to the surface. She tried to set up a more comfortable sleeping position, given that the flush of need to fall back asleep was still trying to seduce her into staying put.Only it didn't.Svanna's eyelids slowly opened. It took some serious effort to take in the situation around her. Still in the same room—she was sleeping on the sofa, but the faint shape of Nightroe's body could be seen sitting on the edge of the bed, and the man was actually urging her to open her eyes wide. What happened?The wound. Blood. All there.Svanna swallowed harshly, watching Nightroe's manner as the man tried to stop the bleeding in the abdomen. She didn't know... instinctively took a step closer, then stopped as the tail of her husband's eyes seemed to show a degree of alarm.Maybe enough here. Enough to be an inch away from the bed and not try to do anything, which could be fatal."What happened to you?"Asking

"Ms, your breakfast." Svanna's activities while observing the pendant necklace her mother had given her were interrupted by the arrival of someone. Alina would always be Alina ever since the accidental shooting incident happened. Nightroe would certainly not involve Elisabeth at times when the middle-aged woman was unable to prevent whatever was part of her decision. There was a hint of guilt, but also relief that Nightroe did not go overboard... firing the woman who devoted her life to this place. "Thank you, Alina. You don't have to go to all this trouble. I can go to the kitchen if I'm hungry." Svanna accepted the tray from the hands of the woman in front of her while first... giving a faint smile. A smile that disappeared in an instant right after Alina seemed to be half hesitant to speak up. "Mr. Nightroe will not allow you to leave the room, Ms," Alina said. Nightroe's decision was still too crazy. Locking her up in a place filled with the memories of

Those piercing sapphire eyes left many unexpected sensations. Svanna was sure Alex also felt an unexpected shadow, as the man even had to carefully place the bag on the floor."Sir, you didn't say you'd be back so soon."Perhaps it was part of the pleasantries. Svanna understood how Alex felt threatened when Nightroe took a step closer. She blinked, then hurriedly said, "Alex was just escorting me away, Nightroe. It's not his fault."The man's attention was distracted. Svanna swallowed harshly. Next, she felt Nightroe walking as if at a fast pace. Suddenly, the man's rough grip was already perched firmly on the shaft of her neck. "How dare you break the rules I made?"Nightroe's voice was heard hissing. How the man seemed to dislike the decision she had made. Svanna didn't understand. They—she and Alex—had already gotten permission, though sort of indirectly. Alex had obviously contacted his boss, but Nightroe did not pick up the phone call and instead
