Shortly afterward, the police showed up. While she blushed, Ava told them that this was all just a big
misunderstanding, but to be diligent, they checked every inch of the apartment and balcony. But they found
nothing, which was a comfort to me.
After the police and Ava’s landlord left, Richard offered to sleep on the couch, and we gladly took him up on his
offer. We got ready for bed and even stayed in the sroom because we were still so scared.
As Ava sat down on a chair in the corner of her bedroom, | got into bed even though | wasn't the least bit tired.
“This whole thing with the Windsor’s is getting out of hand,” Ava said and scrubbed a hand down her face. “I'm
starting to becscared for our safety. Do you think that you could ask Alexander for help taking them down?”
Her question made my palms sweat. | was scared to ask Alexander for any help because | was afraid of what
kind of strings would be attached to any favor that he did for me. What would he ask for in return? Even if he
didn’t ask for a favor to pay him back, | would still be afraid of owing him. Then, | wouldn't be able to refuse him
anything in the future. It would be like making a deal with a very handsome
devil.
| sighed and organized my thoughts before | replied to Ava’s question.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” | finally said. “I don’t want to lose myself in this whole situation. That's exactly
what happened with Ethan when we were married, and | can’t let that happen again. If we make a deal with
Alexander and his team, I'm afraid that he'll ask for

To my complete shock, Ava didn’t seem angry with me. She had a thoughtful expression.
| sat up in bed and waited for her reply.
“You know, it’s probably for the best that we don’t involve Alexander right now,” Ava said after a moment. “1
keep thinking about that missing boy’s parents who passed away. The real reason that they died was because
the mother kept getting involved and asking questions about the Windsor family. If we ask for Alexander's help,
that would just paint an even bigger target on our backs since he is such a high- profile person.”
| nodded in agreement. | hadn’t even thought about that. But she did make a good point.
“So, should we just take a step back and allow Ethan and Chole to have their way for the tbeing?” | asked.
Ava sat forward in her chair. “Here’s what | think we should do: You should write that letter of understanding that
Ethan requested for Chole.”
| rolled my eyes. That was going to be a difficult letter to write since | wouldn't mean a word of it. But it was
important to get that powerful family off of our backs for now. Besides, | had cto the conclusion to write that
letter earlier today, but | was glad that Ava agreed it was the best course of action.
“While Ethan and Chole think that we have given up, | will quietly

| grinned at her. “Sounds like a plan to me,” | said, but my voice shook slightly, thinking about the possible
danger that Ava would be in because she was helping me.
“Everything will work out for the better,” Ava said with confidence.
