Noah lifted his remote-control car. "Does Lily get a new toy too?" "Of course," Mom said. "Everyone gets one." I stared at the new doll, at Mom's expectant face, at the guilt hidden in Dad's eyes.

I didn't know what he was thinking, but the sadness radiating from him was impossible to ignore. I couldn't help but smile. Could it be that I was starting to feel something for him? "What's wrong?" I asked softly. "Mabes, are you planning to go back?" "Go back where?" "Swelgan." "Ambrose, my home is in Suttonville. I've done nothing wrong, so I'll go back when I feel like it." Ambrose fell silent instantly. I turned to look at him and saw the unease on his face, suddenly understanding what he was thinking.

The sounds from the next room grew louder and louder. There were the unmistakable sounds of a woman's moans and a man's rhythmic grunts. The noise disturbed the serene, peaceful night.

The house was beautiful—a charming blend of modern and classic architecture, painted in soft beige with white trim.

Victor beamed with pride as he turned to us. “Welcome to your new home!”

The sun was beginning to set, casting long shadows over the city as Lena sat in her new home, contemplating the days ahead. The house was a stark contrast to the grandeur of the Mitchell mansion, but it was a place of comfort and refuge—a sanctuary where she could gather her thoughts and plan her next steps. With its neutral tones and understated elegance, it offered a semblance of peace that Lena had longed for amidst the chaos of recent events.

Very huge and luxurious. I gotta be careful not to break anything, even a glass here would be more expensive than my whole life. I walked in slowly and carefully. If someone should tell me the cost of this house, I'd have a heart attack. It's not a joke. There were men in suits standing at the entrance. They were the bodyguards? They separated when I was near them giving a way for me to pass. I gulped nervously, should I go back? I contemplated for a minute. I was here already, I should just hear what she wants to say.
