Alexander refrained from further debate, choosing instead to drive on in silence, his focus solely on the road
ahead.
Getty, her temper flaring, turned her head away, her lips sealed in a tight line. The prospect of another
argument, and the weeks of separation that inevitably followed, was something she had no desire to entertain.
Quinn, a solitary figure, watched the car disappear into the distance, her gaze unwavering until it was entirely
out of sight. A tremor ran through her eyelashes as she finally allowed her eyes to wander elsewhere. So, that
was the reason he had erased her from his contacts.
A bitter smile pulled at the corners of her mouth. Turning on her heel, Quinn began to walk, her figure growing
smaller as she disappeared into the rain.
Suddenly, a car pulled up alongside her.
The window was rolled down, and a man's voice, laced with amusement, echoed out, "Sister-in-law, are you
locked out of your house?"
At the sound of that voice, Quinn froze in her tracks. She lifted her head abruptly, her eyes meeting the man in
the back seat.
His signature smile was in place, his curly hair swept back save for a few loose strands that hung over his
forehead. His androgynous charm was undeniable, even under the dim street lights.
Quinn pressed her lips together and chose to ignore him.
"Aren't you going to get in?"
Quinn continued her journey, not sparing him a glance. The car trailed behind her, matching her pace. "You
know, it's dangerous out here at night if you don't get in," he warned.

She continued to ignore him, her steps unyielding. But then, without warning, the car door swung open and a
hand reached out, pulling her inside.
Quinn was taken aback, her instincts screaming at her to flee, but the doors had already shut, and the car was
moving.
The man's presence was suddenly all-consuming.
Quinn, cornered, fixed a wary gaze on Walter.

"What are you afraid of?" Walter asked.
His finger traced the curve of her cheek, pushing a stray lock of hair from her face to reveal her features entirely.
"You're so naive," Walter smirked. "Alexander left with another woman. Why don't you find someone else to be
with, too?" Walter suggested, "That way, you won't be at a loss." Quinn recoiled from his proximity, turning her
head away, wanting nothing to do with him.
A smile playing on his lips, Walter watched her intently. "I've never heard you speak."
Quinn stiffened.
He turned Quinn's face toward him and smiled, "Say something. | want to hear your voice."
Quinn shuddered at the sight of his insincere smile. Every tshe saw that smile, she sensed trouble on the
horizon.

As expected, he suddenly grabbed her hair, "Speak, or I'll have to get rough."
Quinn's scalp tightened, and she stared at the man in terror, her throat constricting as she tried to form words.
With great effort, she managed to utter two words, "No, please."
Walter smiled, seemingly satisfied. He released Quinn's hair and gently stroked her cheek, murmuring, "That's
better."
Clutching her damp clothes to her
body, Quinn curled up into a tight ball.
