Nyla exited the chat app, set her phone aside, and contemplated whether or not to follow through with the engagement.

The prospect of moving out of the estate was a huge incentive. However, if Emerald went back on her word, Nyla would have no recourse.

While she was lost in thought, a sudden, urgent knock interrupted her.

She rose and opened the door to find a flustered maid. "Ms. Kinsey, Madam wants you in the main hall immediately."

Seeing the maid's ashen face, Nyla felt a sinking sensation in her gut. She asked quietly, "What happened?"

Without further questioning, Nyla hurried to the hall.

Upon entering, she saw Emerald sitting on the sofa, her expression as dark as a thundercloud. Delia sat beside her, crying.

Nyla took a seat across from Emerald.

Before Nyla could speak, Emerald did. "Brian had an accident. I'm leaving for the south first thing in the morning. For the next few days, you and Delia are to stay in the estate and behave. If you cause any trouble while I'm gone, you'll answer for it when I return."
