Annie Gray breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at her watch. The clock was almost at midnight. In fact, after midnight tonight, everything would be over.
The sun always rises as promised every day, but the things that happen each day are different.
When she realized that Atlas Hallow and Charlotte Miller hadn’t returned to the Hallow Family villa, Ava Walker felt sothing was different.
"Butler Kent, where is Atlas staying?" Watching as Butler Kent was taking a few servants to pack so things from Atlas Hallow’s bedroom to have the driver take them away, even though Atlas had occasionally not stayed at the villa before for a day or two, he’d never moved his belongings out.
"Second Young Lady, you’re aware of the Hallow Family’s rules. I, a re servant, shouldn’t speak out of turn. Please don’t make it difficult for ." The old butler replied respectfully, slightly bowing.
"I won’t tell anyone." Ava seed a bit anxious, after all, she’d just ford an alliance, and everything was about to start. How could Charlotte have moved out?
"I have other duties to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now." The butler was very clever. He knew he absolutely couldn’t speak carelessly about such matters. Currently, Atlas is in charge of the Hallow Family, and he doesn’t appreciate people gossiping about him behind his back.
He had to arrange for people to clean Atlas’s room daily, ensure the food in the refrigerator was fresh every day, and take the worn clothing to be washed in the house’s laundry room before sending them back. He couldn’t afford to delay these important tasks.
Watching the car drive away with the butler and the two maids, Ava’s eyes seed to blaze with anger. If the butler wouldn’t talk, there would naturally be others who would. She had to know everything about Atlas Hallow and Charlotte Miller; there would always be a chance for her to act.
She returned to her room, picked up the phone, and dialed Hailey Hill.
"Hailey, I have so bad news for you..." Ava deliberately paused, letting out a long sigh before continuing, "My brother has moved out. He’s gone to shack up with that Charlotte Miller. This was actually my fault. They were newlyweds, couldn’t resist their passions, and did that thing outside their room. I kindly reminded them since there were still servants at ho. That morning, Charlotte got into a fight with , and then they moved out. Hailey, you have to be careful. I see my brother has really been ensnared by Charlotte."
Which woman wouldn’t feel hurt hearing about the man she loves being with another woman? Hailey Hill felt exactly like that, her heart nearly burning red with anger: "Where did he move to?"
"I don’t know, but he’s probably hiding away to protect his precious bride. I originally wanted to help you, but it seems I can’t do much now since he doesn’t even stay at ho." As Ava spoke with Hailey on the phone, she paced back and forth in her bedroom to calm her inner fury.
"It won’t be like this. I have a way. Trust ." Hailey’s voice was chillingly cold, like a snake slithering, making people feel icy and sticky.
She hadn’t pressured matters because she thought Atlas would fulfill his promises due to his guilt. If not for this, she wouldn’t let him and Charlotte enjoy this freedom. It was ti for her to reclaim everything owed to her.
She had her thods; everyone can always find a way. What the Hallow Family owed her must be returned.
She wanted Atlas Hallow’s remaining life to compensate for her suffering, for never being able to beco a mother. No matter what she had done, it shouldn’t have been so ruthlessly taken from her — her ovaries and uterus. She couldn’t be a mother, nor could she enjoy the pleasures of intimacy, unable to be a complete woman, and she was not yet thirty.
Charlotte was rely a woman enjoying benefits. If it weren’t for her, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.
Who was to bla?
Should she bla herself for insisting her child co from a family with pure and noble lineage, or bla Charlotte’s sister for fleeing the marriage, bla Charlotte for being strikingly beautiful, or lant fate’s cruel play?
Thinking about these things was useless. She was determined to be the last woman standing beside Atlas Hallow. She was determined to beco the mother of Atlas Hallow’s children.
Besides physical pleasure, she wanted everything she was due.
Atlas Hallow was a normal man. When needed, she would find various beautiful won for him, but those won could never be Charlotte.
