He ran his fingers through her hair, a gentle, almost tender gesture that surprised
her.
Sylvia clenched her fists, saying nothing, her body feeling colder rather than
warmer.
She met his gaze with defiance. "Just because we had something doesn't mean it matters. You don't care, | don't
care. Given the chance, I'll leave."
"You won't."
Her whole body tensed, a slight shiver running down her spine. Was he
threatening her?
She knew her mom was with the Garcia family!
But in the next moment, he placed a soft kiss on her forehead, devoid of any dominance, just a gentle touch.
While she was still in a daze, he hooked the chain around her neck with his finger.
The pendant dangled between them, its emerald shine catching the light.
He repeated, "You won't."
Sylvia reached out to grab it, but he dodged her attempt with a teasing smirk.
"| forgot to take it off," she insisted stubbornly.
"Sure."
He didn't push further, instead lifting her onto the couch, then reaching for the bag of medication.
"Chris said to change the dressing before bed."
"I can do it myself." Sylvia reached for the supplies.
"Don't move."
Rupert gently pushed her hand away, lifting her foot onto his knee.

The scrape had stopped bleeding long ago, though her ankle was still a bit swollen, but not as red as it had been
that afternoon.
Rupert reapplied the ointment, secured a fresh bandage, then wrapped it with a layer of plastic wrap.
"Go take a shower. If you need anything, call me."
"I can manage. You should go home," Sylvia said, feeling awkward.
"Need a hand with your shower?" Rupert began to remove his jacket.
"No!"
Sylvia hobbled to the bathroom.
When she emerged, clean and refreshed, she found Rupert asleep on the couch.
She approached, intending to wake him, but seeing the lines of tension even in his sleep, she hesitated, lowering
her hand.
Instead, she fetched a blanket from the bedroom and draped it over him.
Standing there, watching him curled up on the couch, he seemed less intimidating, more vulnerable than she'd
ever seen.
She sighed. "I didn't spike the drink that night. | was lured to the room."
With that confession, she turned and headed to her room.
Behind her, Rupert slowly opened his eyes.

Her body, already weakened, was pushed to the brink, increasing the bleeding.

Abortion? Abortions?
Miriam felt as if she'd been struck by lightning, nearly collapsing in shock.
She fought off the dizziness, paid the doctor a hefty sum to ensure confidentiality, and sent him on his way.
Turning back to Bridget, she demanded, "Whose children were they?"
Bridget, eyes vacant, couldn't answer, clutching the blanket tightly.
Miriam's face was stormy. "They weren't Mr. Rupert's, were they?"
Bridget bit her lip, then flung the
blanket aside, clinging to ane?
