The guards paused while colour drained from Mira’s face. The one standing before them was none other than Audrey Whitmore. Very few people knew what she really looked like, and those who knew her were from extremely wealthy families. Even Dahlia had no idea who she was when they met at the hospital. “Who is this old hag?” Joyce, clearly clueless about who was standing before them.Mira tried to signal her to shut up, but Joyce ignored her and focused on the guards who had frozen. They too had no idea who she was because she only dealt with people who had very high positions and she had her own special security in every place she went to except this time, she asked them to wait outside so she didn't attract attention while she met with Dahlia. “Joyce , I think, do what she says.” Mira advised, but Joyce only scoffed. “Are you also afraid of an old woman? What will she do to you? Hit you with her cane?” Joyce laughed as she stepped closer to Audrey, “Look, old woman. I don't want to h

Dahlia noticed how worse Audrey was starting to get. Fear gripped her hard and fast as she began to kick the door while screaming at the camera in the corner. “Someone is dying in here! Please open the door. I'm begging you!”Joyce smiled while she stood in the camera room and watched the distress on Dahlia’s face. Seeing her in such pain and misery was like Christmas morning for her. Mira, who was starting to panic, pulled Joyce to the side, “Are you insane? What if that woman dies, will you be able to face her family's wrath?”Joyce pulled out of Mira’s hold and held her by the shoulders while her smile grew,“Mira? Are you insane? How can a nobody like Dahlia know someone that powerful? Even Silas doesn't take her to important events. Her father has been blacklisted and does business outside the country. Please don't tell me she has fooled you too.”Mira blinked, slowly starting to hesitate. When Joyce saw the look in her eyes, her smile widened while she raised her eyebrows in qu

But Dahlia didn’t even make it five steps.Silas caught her from behind in one swift movement, his arm wrapping around her waist like a steel trap.“Running now?” he whispered coldly in her ear. Dahlia struggled wildly in his grip. She screamed and threw her legs, hoping to throw him off balance, but his balance didn't falter for even a second.“Let me go! I have to go back! That woman trusted me!”Silas lifted her off the ground again as if she weighed nothing.“You’re not going anywhere.”“Silas you heartless bastard!” she screamed, tears streaming down her face. “Someone is dying because of you!”“No one is dying because of anything. The woman you locked up has received medical attention and has been taken home. Joyce made sure of it. So maybe you should be nicer to her because she's going through all the trouble to clean up the mess you made.”“Fuck you! Fuck all of you! Joyce doesn't have a single human bone in her body. She won't take her to the hospital! Let me go, you asshole!

Jane, who was busy eating on the floor, suddenly choked and paled at the same time. She began to cough so loudly, Dahlia was afraid it would get serious as she rushed to take a glass of water and gave it to her.Once she had calmed down, Jane looked at Dahlia. Her face was white like she had just seen a ghost. “Ma'am. You do know who your husband is and what he will do to me if he finds you gone for even a second?” She whispered, looking around like she was afraid Silas would pop into the room at any moment and choke the living daylights out of her.“I know. But don't be afraid.” Dahlia pleaded, “I will be back before you know it. I wouldn't ask for your help if it wasn't important. Please, Jane.”Jane stared at Dahlia as if the woman had just asked her to jump into a volcano. Her mouth opened, then closed again. She looked around, then leaned in and said,“Ma'am… I'd love to help you escape, but we need a proper plan. This is too sudden, Mr. Scott terrifies grown men twice my size,”
