My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Hendrix noticed that I seemed to be in a bad mood. After talking for a bit more, he escorted me out of the villa.

Outside the main hall, Owen bid farewell to Pedro and was then helped into his car by a young man.

As Hendrix and I descended the stairs, we inadvertently looked at the young man who seemed familiar. At that moment, we couldn't remember where we had seen him before.

After the young man had gotten Owen into the car, he turned back to say goodbye to Pedro.

When I took in his cold, sharp features, I was suddenly reminded of who he was. He was the man who had saved me in Ucrebury.

Why was he there?

Was he a member of the Milton Family or was he working for the Milton Family?

"Let's go!" Hendrix's voice rang in my ears. I came to my senses and followed him to the car.
