“I know you’re still in Luton. Your passport is with me.” 

 

Anne was taken aback and asked, “My passport is with you?” 

“Yeah, I couldn’t reach you, so I went to your hotel. How could you leave your passport at the cheap hotel? It’s not safe. I checked out for you. Come stay with me.” 

Anne could not go back to the hotel even if she wanted to. She could not get away from Anthony’s control. 

“Aunt, I’m not coming over yet. I will stay with my friend for a few days. I will come to get my passport before leaving,” Anne replied. 

 

“You haven’t been back for so many years. Who’s your friend?” Sarah asked. 

“Someone from high school…” Anne tried to make it sound convincing. 

“I know you’re on bad terms with Anthony. However, it’s been many years now, and you have nothing to do with him. Don’t take it too seriously.” 

Anne felt ironic. They had nothing to do with one another? So why was she here… 

“Come to my place. It’s been so many years. I have many things to tell you,” Sarah said. 

“I’ll come…later.” Anne hung up and leaned against the bed frame. 

How could she get away without Anthony’s permission? 

She knew clearly that Anthony would not go easy on her if she stayed. 

To him, her aunt was someone who ruined his parents’ relationship. Her, too… 

At noon, Anne was invited to dine at the dining hall. 

When she saw the table full of dishes, her face turned pale because they were all seafood dishes. 

They were expensive but deadly. 

Anne’s eyes fell on the dish of vegetables. She scooped the food, and before she put it in her mouth, an intense seafood scent went to her nose. She was so terrified that she dropped the spoon. 

She stood up and asked the maid with her quickened breathing, “What is this…made of?”
