Heather was ushered into the confines of Swevia County under the cover of night.
Though blindfolded, she could sense the inky blackness enveloping her.
"Did you get my message through? I need to see Everett."
"We did. Whether Everett decides to see you, well, you can just wait and see."
The guards were clearly impatient, shoving her roughly into the vehicle without a word more.
That was all she needed.
Heather's only fear was that her message wouldn't reach him, that Everett would remain oblivious and she would meet her end without him ever knowing. But if he heard even a whisper about Dorothy, he would come. She was certain.
She braced herself for a long wait, but to her surprise, just a few hours later, at the crack of dawn, Everett appeared before her.
He was draped in a black trench coat, his towering 6'3" frame exuding a natural elegance with his lean waist and long legs. Though leaner than before, his aristocratic aura remained as imposing as ever.
Heather knew why he had come at such an hour. She diverted her gaze and offered a wry smile. "Is Dorothy asleep?"
"What's the story about Dorothy?"
Everett was blunt, dispensing with pleasantries, focused solely on the matter at hand.
Huddled in the corner, Heather peered through the iron bars that caged her. "Everett, tell me, if Dorothy didn't exist, could there be a chance for you to like me?"
He didn't answer, his eyes betraying a thinning patience.
It was always about Dorothy.
"Everett, answer me, and I'll tell you what you need to know."

Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
