However, Ariana was not willing to trust Glenda’s words. “No need,” she said firmly. “I’ll do it myself.” She was determined to ensure that all of her and her mother’s possessions were returned to her safe and sound.

Glenda, intimidated by Theodore’s earlier display of power, could only comply as Ariana went to her room to pack up.

As Ariana packed, she suddenly felt something obstruct her foot. Looking down, she was startled to find the wheel of Theodore’s wheelchair, only to realize that he had silently entered the room behind her.

Her heart raced with uncertainty, unsure of what to expect next.

Ariana’s voice faltered as she spoke. “Thank you for coming here today.”
