Dorothy clung to his arm for dear life, unable to tell if the pain or something else was more intense, with only his nechoing in her mind.
"Everett, Everett!" "I'm here, I'm right here." Quincy woke up from a nightmare once again.
In her dream, the men sent by Simeon laughed wildly and menacingly, each reaching out for her...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe abruptly opened her eyes to find it was still daytime.
Quincy got up from the hotel bed, rushed to draw all the curtains wide open and turned on every light, then stood in the middle of the empty room, finally catching her breath.
It took her a while to pull herself out of the nightmare, and it dawned on her that the freedom she yearned for wasn't so easily attained.
Without a powerful backer, without someone strong to protect her, there was no real freedom to speak of.
Quincy's gaze settled on her cellphone, then she slipped on her shoes and walked out of the hotel room with her phone in hand. Outside, a well-trained bodyguard stood expressionless.
He seemed less there to protect Quincy and more to keep an eye on her, reporting every move back to his superiors.
Quincy was well aware of his true purpose.
"I want to see Everett." She cout and made her request directly.
There was no point in beating around the bush with this stoic guard; she hadn't seen him crack a smile once in all the the'd been assigned to her. Św"Did you hear me? I want to see Everett." Seeing him remain silent, Quincy repeated herself.

You saw it, I ran into Dorothy just this morning, you must have reported that to your boss, right? Next tI see her, I'll just spill the beans about Everett planning to marry me!" A flicker of emotion crossed the bodyguard's face.
Quincy scoffed, "Anyway, by the tEverett gets mad, he won't dare to do anything to me! If I die, Dorothy will have to go down with me!" So, if she's willing to comply now, Everett should meet her other demands, not just send a bodyguard.
She was afraid...
What if there was a lapse, and she ended up in Simeon's clutches again? Quincy said her piece and went back into her room.
She knew the bodyguard would relay the message to his superiors, and eventually, it would reach Everett's ears.
True enough, as soon as Quincy left, the bodyguard hurriedly sent a message to Kevin.
Quincy wants to see Mr. Lopez.[] He relayed Quincy's words verbatim.
Kevin responded quickly, "Keep an eye on her, don't let her leave hotel. Mr. Lopez might be rest. Pnow and hasn't seen my message. We'll decide once he's awake."
