Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Both Ruka and Ren went back to their rooms after the conversation. Ruka had been through a lot today, so she lay down and slept, still feeling happy. However, that didn’t last since it wasn’t long before sadness crept in.

She was standing on the lawn outside the Husson Residence when she heard voices from the hall, which she couldn’t hear clearly. She moved closer in curiosity, and soon could make them out.

The elderly Mr. and Mrs. Husson was there, together with Scarlet, Walter, and her parents. Still, she could also make out a kneeling figure on the floor, back straight and head bowed. It was Ren.

“How can you fall for your sister’s goddaughter? If you destroy your future because of her, I will disown you,” Mr. Husson scolded.
