Chapter 61

The blizzard was relentless, and the wipers thrashed frantically across the windshield as Stella crawled along the empty road.

Inside the car, the heater was on full blast, and gentle music drifted through the warm air.

Briony leaned back, eyes closed, her whole body as still as Milo beside her.

Stella kept sneaking glances her way.

She didn't know exactly what had happened back at Southcreek Manor, but she could sense Briony had been hurt badly this time.

Honk! Honk!

Suddenly, a car horn blared from behind.

Stella glanced in the rearview mirror.

A sleek black Maybach was barreling up behind them, closing in fast.

"Is that Stewart's car behind us?" she asked, tension creeping into her voice.

Briony slowly opened her eyes, looked into the mirror, and frowned slightly. "It's him."

“He's flashing his lights at us!" Stella pressed harder on the gas. "Seriously, what does he want now?!"
