Rena started playing the piano once again.
After finishing one song, she said, âIâm just trying to protect the people who are important to me, Waylen.
â
Waylen stared at Rena for a long time.
Then, he began loosening his tie and ascending the stairs.
Waylen and Rena had dinner and put Alexis and Marcus to bed without talking to each other.
They lived in the same house, but they treated each other like strangers.
Rena didnât care anymore.
It was late at night.
Waylen and Rena began retiring to their own respective bedrooms.
In the corridor, Waylen grabbed Renaâs hand and said, âWe need to talk.
â
After Waylen said that, Renaâs phone rang, and she answered.
It was a call from one of her bodyguards that she sent to watch Mavis.
The bodyguard reported hesitantly, âSorry to bother you this late, maâam, but the woman we were watching just jumped out of a third-story window.
She shattered her legs.

Jumped out a window.
Rena replied calmly, âTake her to the hospital.
And keep your eyes on her.

Waylen knocked the phone out of Renaâs hand and threw a fit of pique.

âShe has already been expelled from school.
What more do you want?
Rena⦠Have you always been this cold-blooded? Do you not trust me, or do you not trust your own decisions?
Is this how our marriage is going to be now?â
He confronted her with so many questions.
Rena was in a trance.
Then, a smile tugged on the corners of her mouth.
âYes.
I suppose I have always been cold-blooded when circumstances necessitate it.
I canât allow that woman to stay in Duefron.
I donât care where she ends up as long as sheâs nowhere near my family.
â
Waylen looked at Rena with eyes burning with fury.
