Derek wisely chose silence, sensing the tempestuous storm within Marcus.
Gazing at the vacant entrance of the villa shrouded in rain, Marcus experienced a
stabbing sensation in his chest, as if a sharp thorn had pierced him.
No matter how tumultuous the world became, this time he vowed not to seek that
woman out again, even if the sky crumbled.
Evil intentions had no place in this residence.
Meanwhile, drenched by the rain, Millie's pace pressed forward on the road. The
villa district offered minimal taxi prospects, and even if she managed to flag one
down, her drenched state dissuaded any driver from accommodating her.
As she grappled with impending collapse due to exhaustion, a compassionate
driver relented, offering her a ride.
“Thank you, sir.” Millie voiced her gratitude.
The driver, empathetic, cranked the heater to its zenith. “Miss, the rain’s pouring
heavily. Why did you venture out without an umbrella? It's best to remain indoors
in such weather. Going out in these conditions is simply imprudent.”
Awry smile graced Millie's lips. “I neglected to bring an umbrella when I left. The
rain caught me off guard.”
“Well, if you weren't around my daughter's age, I wouldn't have given you a ride.
Next time, consult the weather forecast before stepping out. Don't be so
inattentive to your well-being.”
“I will definitely check the forecast in the future.”
The car's interior lapsed into silence. Despite the heater working at full blast,
Millie's body still battled a chill. Yet she recognized this chill to be more than a
physical sensation; it had infiltrated her spirit.
Scenes unfurled within her mind—delivering the sweet soup to Celeste, Celeste
succumbing to the lodged fish bone, her enraged outburst, being dragged into
the rain, the mixed emotions evident in Marcus’ eyes...
Leaning lightly against the window, she intuited that nothing auspicious ever
transpired under such torrential rain. Her hand came to rest over her chest, a
place suffused with numbness and bitterness. She imagined a once-blooming
flower that had now withered.
Back within the villa, Bria, having changed into dry attire, concealed herself,
reaching out to Rhea to relay her report.

“Miss Evans, we've achieved
success. As per your plan, I
surreptitiously introduced fish bones
into the bow! Millie presented to
Celeste. One such bone lodged itself
within Celeste'’s throat, evoking her
ire. She concluded that Millie had
orchestrated an attempt on her life,

“How did Marcus respond?” Rhea
inquired. “Rest assured. Marcus
abstained from any intervention. He
watched coldly, emanating a palpable
animosity. You have every reason to
rejoice. In the aftermath of this
ordeal, Millie is perceived as a
malevolent force, incapable of
reversing her fate.” The content is on
