Chapter 25

Robin furrowed his brow and released Colin.

Colin turned and bolted, motioning for Stella and Robin to follow suit.

Panic surged through me as I tried to stop Stella, “Stella, don’t trust him, he’s a murderer. Don’t go, please!”

But how could Stella pass up such an opportunity? She was desperate to find me.

“Freeze, Colin!” Stella chased after him, her voice laden with urgency.

I followed in panic as I called out to Robin, “Hurry up, man! Keep her safe; I’m begging you.”

Robin snapped to action and gave chase, both of them trailing Colin.

His pants were too short and tattered. No one knew where he scavenged them.

I couldn’t help but wonder if he truly was from the Langley family, and if they were so good to him and treating him like a prince, why would they let him wander homeless?

Perhaps the Langleys despised him too.
