Chapter 222

That night, Everett didn't come home. Selena finally enjoyed a rare good night's sleep without his relentless demands. She woke up well past sunrise.

When she headed downstairs for lunch, she noticed Ava acting a bit off. Curious, Selena asked what was going on, but Ava just shook her head and said it was nothing, diving into some busywork to avoid the topic. Selena didn't push further, but her instincts tingled when she saw the newspapers and magazines had all mysteriously disappeared. Something was definitely up.
