Love Unspoken

Chapter 227

As the night deepened, Quinn found herself restlessly tossing and turning on the couch. Her gaze was fixated on the wall clock, the hands pointing at 11 PM. She knew, with a sinking heart, that Alexander would probably not be returning home that night either.

Turning over, she was on the brink of surrendering to sleep when an unexpected noise from upstairs jolted her awake. She shot a glance upwards, her ears straining to catch the sound again. But all was silent, and she allowed herself to sink back onto the couch.

Yet, the very next moment, the sound echoed again - a noise akin to the scraping of glass. With a frown creasing her forehead, Quinn rose from the couch and made her way upstairs, suspecting she might have left a window ajar. As she stepped into the bedroom and pushed open the door, reaching for the light switch, a pair of hands abruptly seized her wrists. The sudden shadow looming over her sent a jolt of fear through her, causing her body to stiffen. She instinctively opened her mouth to scream, but the sound was trapped in her chest, unable to break free.

It was a terrifyingly familiar scenario.

A light chuckle echoed beside her, "Thought you'd actually scream this time." The voice was even more chilling than the unexpected grip on her wrists.

Quinn struggled to break free, but the grip was unyielding. She clawed at the door frame in a desperate attempt to escape. But the disparity in their strength was too great, and she was effortlessly pulled back into the room before the door slammed shut.

In the pitch-black room, Quinn leaned against the door, a sense of despair washing over her as she realized she was unable to communicate with him. Then, Walter flicked on the light, his smiling face invading Quinn's line of sight. He showed no signs of guilt for his intrusion, his grin remaining brazen. Quinn bit her lip, not daring to breathe loudly. Through gestures, she asked, "What do you want?"

Walter pinned her against the door, his hand braced by her ear, and said with a smile, "Just haven't seen my sister-in-law in a while, thought I'd drop by."
