Rounding a bend, she spotted Marcus, his anxiety evident as he paced near his
car.
He caught sight of her and hastened to her, wrapping her in a reassuring
embrace.
Millie leaned into him, whispering, “Honey, I'm alright.”
Despite her assurances, she had been fraught with anxiety until laying eyes on

Her choice not to involve him meant he bore no guilt.
Marcus took Millie's hand, and together they settled into the car for the journey
home. As the landscape passed by, Millie narrated her recent experiences, each
detail a stark revelation.
Marcus’ thin lips pressed tightly, his narrow eyes deepening in intensity as Millie

Marcus gently guided her to bed.

reassurance from him.

taken a turn for the worse, leaving her bedridden. Those around him grew
restless and began weaving their intrigues, even daring to target Millie.
The more he cherished someone, the more relentless his enemies became in
their pursuit of ruin.
Once Millie's soft snoring filled the room, Marcus rose from the bed with care,
making his way to the study.
Positioned by the brightly Lit French window, he dialed a number, his handsome
face set in an expression of steely resolve.
