"Return with me. We'll see to your healing, and then we'll initiate the divorce proceedings." Upon hearing his
words, Quinn slowly raised her eyes to meet his.
"May we depart now?" he queried.
Her gaze dropped once more, her focus shifting to her own toes.
With a gentle hand, Alexander assisted her into the vehicle, securing her seatbelt before steering the car away
from the villa.
Upon their return to Thunderbird Canyon, Alexander procured a first-aid kit, using it to cleanse the blood from
her hand with antiseptic.
Seated on the couch, Quinn remained still, permitting him to tend to her injuries. His touch was tender, yet the
sharp sting of alcohol seeping into her nail wounds caused her to wince.
"Remain still, endure this for just a moment," he calmly instructed.
His grip on her hand was firm as he meticulously disinfected her wounds. Despite his careful ministrations, the
pain of the alcohol on her wounds caused Quinn to tremble uncontrollably. The memory of the needle piercing
beneath her fingernail was still fresh, the pain searing.
She found it difficult to articulate the sensation, but she was acutely aware of the truth in the adage 'the pain

Alexander had never inflicted such cruelty upon her before. Indeed, the most severe punishment he had ever

He extended his hand to caress her cheek, but she subtly shifted her face away, evading his touch.
Alexander studied her for a moment before retracting his hand.

Rising to his feet, he advised, "You should rest well."
With those words, he departed, securing the door behind him.
Quinn's eyelashes fluttered. It was only then that she raised her head to watch the door close, plunging the room
into darkness.
Despite the large windows, the gloomy weather outside allowed little light to penetrate the room.
She examined her fingers, her pinky, index, and middle fingers all swathed in bandages.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning slashed across the sky, followed by a deafening clap of thunder.
Rain began to fall, accompanied by the mournful wail of the wind.

The surrounding scenery was a blur in the heavy rain, the distant sound of dogs barking barely audible over the
roar of the storm.
"Who are you?" the Evelyn Reed managed to stammer, uncertain whether she was injured or simply
overwhelmed by the weight of the rain.
She stumbled a few steps before collapsing once more.
