Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

The hotel was huge and the hallway was long. Besides, both lounges just so happened to be on opposite ends, so there was quite a distance to cover.

Still, Alice was fleet-footed and arrived at the right lounge in no time. As her hand grabbed the door handle, she paused for a second before deciding to enter.

Before she pushed the door open, her mind was whirring with possibilities. She knew Charles was being excessively friendly to her today. It also felt that there wasn’t such a thing as coincidences after experiencing so many oddities.

When Charles asked her to support him over to the lounge, only Sophia followed them. Elijah and Noah didn’t bother to make a token effort in chiming in. Even Emma, who usually liked to showcase her kindness, had joined them.

Then, when they arrived at the lounge, Charles suddenly became unwell and seemingly left his medication in another lounge. A coincidence happening once or twice was acceptable, but too many of them would never just be mere coincidences.

However, Alice chose to put her trust once more. It was not directed at Charles, but her father, Lucas. She wanted to believe them because of her father’s love for the family since he was Charles’ son.

But her trust in the Wolands was shattered the moment she pushed open the door.

A woman lay on the floor in a puddle of blood with a fruit knife stabbed into her stomach. It was the exact knife she had used to cut the cake in the hall.

Right at that moment, footsteps could be heard approaching and it seemed like a crowd was going her way.

Alice snickered. What a show!

“Alice, you’re here.” Emma’s usually gentle voice could be heard.

Alice didn’t want to entertain her and didn’t even bother to turn around.

“Is Grandpa resting inside? I’m worried, so I came with Mom and Aunt Bethany.” Emma started playing up her ‘kindhearted’ character and continued the show on her own. Then, she went up to the door to enter the room.
