The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 879

Her sudden, explosive movement sends Danny tumbling backward into the pillows.

"Whoa, baby, what's wrong?" he asks, his heart skipping a beat. He suddenly worries he pushed his luck too far and genuinely upset her.

Before he can apologize, Tara gasps, "I figured it out!"

Danny instantly lights up. "Really? You figured out you want to do the cardio?"

He reaches for her, fully prepared to pull her back under him.

Tara kicks him squarely in the leg. "Shut up! I figured out my dad's clue!"

She scrambles off the bed, grabs the worn diary from the nightstand, and flips to the pages she had stared at a hundred times.

"I knew these entries felt weird! The phrasing was always just a little too clunky. Look at this!"

"Look at what?" Danny asks, leaning over her shoulder, completely lost.

"If you take the seventh word from the end of every single line in these specific paragraphs, it spells out a completely different message! This is what he was trying to tell me!" Tara explains, her voice trembling with excitement.

For years, these paragraphs just looked like Charles rambling about his regrets. But now, strung together, the hidden text forms a perfect set of coordinates and instructions.

"Why the seventh word from the end?"

"Seven is my lucky number. He remembered," Tara whispers, a fresh wave of emotion hitting her.
