She couldn’t recall how she had managed to leave. Everything felt like a blur,
Upon returning to Wellington Villa, the household staff were taken aback by their mud–splattered appearance, unsure of how to react. The butler stood nearby, his voice attempting to maintain calmness as he announced, “Dinner is ready.”

With a gentle push from Sandra, Stephanie tentatively crossed the threshold and the door closed behind her.
