NovelEnglishWith an unexpected stumble, Quinn found herself awkwardly seated on his lap, her gaze lifting to meet his
impassive eyes. His finger traced the corner of her eye, his whisper a cool breeze against her skin, "Everyone
has their own fate, Quinn. This has nothing to do with me."
Tears welled in Quinn's eyes as she studied his face, desperately seeking the truth in his expression. But his
countenance was unreadable, a mystery she couldn't solve.
She shook her head, her hands forming a question in the air, "Why was Ariel at the hospital?"
"I told you, | don't know," he responded, his voice as flat and unaffected as his gaze. It was as if the matter held
no importance to him.
Quinn's fingers clenched in frustration. She was torn between believing him and doubting his words. Ariel had
seemingly relinquished any claim on Juliet.
So why had Ariel shown up at the hospital, immediately after she had settled the medical bills, and deliberately
provoked Juliet? It was as if Ariel was acting out Alexander's chilling words from the previous night, "Don't ever
think you'll see her again."
As she pondered this, a shiver ran down Quinn's spine. Alexander was becoming more of a stranger with each
passing day. She pushed herself to her feet, only to sink back down beside him.
Anticipating her next move, Alexander caught her wrist, halting her gestures. "Quinn, don't do anything
unnecessary. It'll just backfire on both of us."
Taken aback, Quinn crumbled to the floor, her spirit deflated. Alexander rose and walked away, not once looking
back. He made sure to lock the study door behind him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe clicking sound of the lock echoed in the room. Quinn scrambled to her feet and tried the handle, confirming
her suspicion-it was locked. She pounded on the door with balled fists, but her efforts were met with silence.
Leaning against the door, she slid down to the floor. Once again, he had locked her in. She hugged her knees to
her chest, her mind swirling as if she had consumed too much alcohol, her consciousness blurring.---
The following day, Freya found herself meeting with the man again. This time, Alexander was absent, leaving just
the two of them in their usual café.

"Miss Rowe, if you've made your decision, please sign this transfer of shares agreement. We've prepared the
money," he said.
Freya skimmed through the agreement, feigning understanding. Without Alexander's presence, she felt a wave
of unease wash over her.
The man waited patiently as she read. After a few minutes, Freya picked up the pen. She hesitated at the
signature line, then, with a firm resolve, she signed her name.
The man watched her sign, a composed smile playing on his lips. Once she had stamped it with her personal
seal, she looked up. "I've signed. When will the money be transferred?"
He glanced at the contract, noting the confirmed signature, and replied, "Soon. It's a large sum, so it won't hit
your account immediately. You might need to wait a bit." Freya felt a twinge of hesitation, a fear of being
cheated.
"If you have any doubts, you can ask Alexander directly. He and | go way back," the man reassured her.
His words brought a slight relief to Freya. She had no other option but to trust Alexander now.
