Chapter 266 The Start of Tension

In the pitch-black silence of the night, memories of the torment from my past life often resurface.

Only fleeting indulgence seems to momentarily ease the hollow ache within me.

Even though Carter has shown me immense kindness, the horrors of those violent days still linger in my mind after more that a month.

Anna feels like a splinter lodged in my soul, buried where I can't reach it.

Despite the storm passing, sleep continued to elude me entirely.

He rose to his feet slowly as if the weight of the moment had crushed him, his expression etched with anguish.

Turning away, he retreated to his room, his silhouette radiating an air of deep loneliness.

If he had foreseen this outcome, why did he make those choices in the first place?

I poured myself a glass of water and lingered in the living room, lost in thought for a long while.

I couldn't help but wonder-did Anna find peace in her sleep tonight?

The following morning, I felt refreshed and headed to the hotel, showing no trace of exhaustion

The Sander family is regarded as a distinguished name in the area, and their cross-border marriage has become a focal point of interest.

The guests arriving and departing were all affluent and influential figures.
