NovelEnglishThe flicker in Alexander's gaze was unmistakable as he took in the palpable panic that danced in her eyes.
Moments later, his hand retreated, and he set off on a direct course for Rivercourt Estates.
Upon arrival, he made a beeline for his study, leaving Quinn in the solitude of their bedroom. She found herself
cocooned in the comforter, her mind a whirlwind of disturbing images from the morgue and the haunting words
Alexander had spoken.
She couldn't help but draw a connection between the harrowing incident and Alexander himself. That night,
sleep eluded Quinn. Each tshe dared to close her eyes, nightmarish visions plagued her. She was thrust into
a dream where Valerie was caught in a desperate struggle amidst a raging inferno.
As the dream reached its climax, Quinn found herself being consumed by the flames. The heat was so
suffocating that even upon waking, the sensation of burning seemed to linger on her skin.
With a gasp, Quinn's eyes shot open, her gaze fixated on the ceiling until the distant rumble of thunder brought
her back to reality. She turned her head to peer outside.
The sky was a canvas of dark and gloomy hues, heavy rain cascading down. The newly installed protective mesh
stood sentinel by the windows, its slender wires creating a stark division between the villa and the world beyond,
akin to a cage. Turning away, Quinn sat up, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead. She climbed out of bed to
freshen up before making her way to the kitchen.
However, as she began her descent down the stairs, a frantic knocking echoed through the house, punctuated

Her heart clenched. She cast a glance upstairs, uncertain if Alexander was home. A quick glance at the clock
revealed it was already half-past ten, though the gloomy outdoors had led her to believe it was earlier.

Holding her breath, Quinn cautiously approached the door, peering through the peephole. The sight that greeted
her was none other than a rain-soaked Freya, pounding on the door with a desperate urgency, her voice echoing
through the night as she called for Alexander.
"Alex! Open the door, quick!" "Open up!" After a moment's hesitation, Quinn reached for the doorknob and
swung the door open.
The sight of the door giving way brought a flicker of relief to Freya's face. She brushed past Quinn, rushing inside
and calling out for Alexander.
When met with silence, she dashed upstairs, her search for Alexander proving fruitless. Quinn remained at the
foot of the stairs, a silent observer.
After a thorough search of the house, a frantic Freya returned downstairs, seizing Quinn's arm as she demanded,
"Where is he? Where did my brother go?" Quinn could only shake her head; she had no inkling of Alexander's
whereabouts. Freya's panic was escalating. She had checked his office, called Getty, and now their house was
empty too-where could he possibly be? "Con, dummy, tellwhere my brother went!"
