As the sun began to dip below the horizon, signaling the close of another workday, Freya made her way to the lounge. There, she swiftly shed her formal attire, replacing it with something far more comfortable-a pair of sneakers and casual clothes.

The reasoning behind the change was simple: the evening ahead promised to involve a bit of confrontation, and she needed the right gear to handle it.

No sooner had she finished changing than her phone buzzed, displaying a call from Ethel. Recalling Hugh's earlier words, Freya decided it was best to pick up.

"Hey, Mina."

"Yeah?"

"Are you coming home for dinner tonight?" Ethel's voice was full of warmth, playful and endearing, like a soft breeze coaxing with a charm of its own. "I don't have any classes today, so I decided to come home early and learn a few new dishes from the cook."

Freya's grip tightened on her phone.

She wasn't particularly keen on returning home, but the last thing she wanted was to dampen Ethel's

excitement.

"Mina, please..." Ethel's voice laced with a hint of sweetness.

"What time?" Freya gave in, her tone softening.

"Half past seven," Ethel replied, clearly thrilled.

"Alright," Freya agreed, though with a twinge of reluctance.

Once the call ended, Ethel turned to her father, who had already returned home. "Mina said she'd come for dinner, but you know how she feels about Cheryl and her daughter. If you've got any business with them tonight, make sure not to call them once Mina arrives."

"Understood,” Hugh answered quickly, nodding in acknowledgment.

To ensure no awkwardness, he subtly mentioned this to Cheryl, though he did so with a diplomatic touch, aiming to spare her feelings.

Freya checked the time-it was already 5:30 p.m. An hour's drive stood between her and her father's home, but she needed to take care of those stalkers first.

After a brief moment of thought, she made a decision.

She alerted Melvin, and together they set off-not toward home, but toward the outskirts.

Parked in a secluded area, they pretended their car had broken down, leaving the hood popped open as a silent invitation for troublemakers to make their move.

By 6 p.m., the sky had already darkened, wrapping the world in an early nightfall, as if nature itself was preparing the stage for what was to unfold.

The group of people stalking Freya was visibly excited at the sight of the isolated location.

"This is the perfect spot," one of them murmured, his eyes scanning the surroundings. "No cameras, no one around. It's just us."

"Exactly!" another agreed.
