Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert) novel Chapter 692

Hotel.

Rupert Garcia looked at the sunlight outside the window, instinctively trying to rub the ring on his finger.

Feeling nothing, he remembered he had returned the ring.

Orson handed over water and medicine, "Mr. Rupert, it's about time."

Rupert stood against the light and swallowed the medicine expressionlessly. His deep, pool-like eyes narrowed slightly, cold and piercing.

"Let's go."

Opening the door, the path was paved with flowers, a romantic and festive atmosphere settling in as the wedding march slowly played...

On the other side.

Sylvia and Ms. Ward had a light lunch at the abbey before heading down the mountain.

As soon as they got into the car, the two of them slumped into the backseat of the cab.

In less than five minutes, Ms. Ward was fast asleep.

Although Sylvia was exhausted, she couldn't sleep at all. As she adjusted her position, the Votive Charm in her pocket fell under the seat.

She reached down and fumbled for a while before picking it up. Just as she checked it against the sunlight outside the window, the cab happened to stop, pulling up right next to a wedding car.

An unexpected ninety-nine-second red light.

Sylvia was attracted by the sunflowers on the wedding car. She slightly lifted her gaze and unexpectedly met those dark eyes inside the car window.

Rupert.

In that instant, it was as if everything had stopped.

No words, no expressions, only complex emotions rising and falling, eventually settling into calm as the seconds counted down.

The light turned green.

Sylvia watched the man's car leave.

She had heard that after the wedding, Rupert and Reese Sanford would fly straight to a private island for their honeymoon.

And Sylvia... turned left.

Destined to no longer be heading in the same direction.

...

When she returned home, Sylvia saw a familiar face downstairs.

Sienna Rayner.

She was wearing a long black dress, sunglasses, and was leaning against the car door smoking a slim cigarette.

Her expression was as cold and detached as when they first met.
