If one looked down from a high place, one could not help but feel that the small courtyard and its owner were isolated by other surrounding buildings and the Gibson family members. For the past ten years, Solana lived alone in the small courtyard. She had no servants to serve her and refused to be served by others. Everything was done on her own, and she usually did not talk to others either.

Sometimes, Solana would stare at the sky for the whole night.

This time, he moved more slowly, and thankfully, there were no more accidents.

Dominic sat in the back seat of his car, staring blankly out the window as the city lights flickered past. The familiar streets held no warmth or comfort for him—they were the same cold, monotonous pathways he traveled every day. Since he’d decided to stop looking for Solo, life had become nothing more than a series of motions—a hollow routine he followed without thought, without purpose. And even though he knew it was the right thing to do, it still pinched at his heart. Solo didn’t want to be found. She made it obvious, and the person backing her had enough power to make her invisible even from him.
