Damn it! What should I do?
I clenched my fists, unwilling to accept the situation.
Why did everything seem to go perfectly with Debra?
I couldnât simply give up like this!
Taking a deep breath, I struggled to regain my composure.
âSir, I made an important discovery at Calebâs house today.
â
After downing another glass of wine, Luis inquired, âWhat did you uncover?â
Without hesitation, I recounted Sallyâs astonishing recovery.
âDebraâs close friend, Sally, suffered terrible injuries and disfigurement in the fire in Roz District.
But today, I saw her perfectly fine.
I suspect it has something to do with Debra.
If you can find out the truth, the information might be useful.
â
I believed this information to be of utmost importance, but to my surprise, Barton showed no interest.
âWe can discuss it later.
â
He set the glass down and wore his usual serious expression.
âDenise, Iâve learned about the newbornsâ disease you mentioned earlier.
Itâs true.
â
I was stunned for a while.
If that were true, it meant Debra and Calebâs marriage was a deal.
Did I still stand a chance?
My face lit up, and my spirits returned, my heart filled with hope.

Luis let out a burp and continued, âIâve decided to break the bond between Roz Town and the Thorn Edge Pack as quickly as possible.
Then Iâll gain control over the medicine.
With that, the Thorn Edge Pack will be mine, and the Barton family wonât have to bow to anyoneâs opinions ever again.
â
He whispered the details of his plan.
I was left in shock.
This plan was beyond crazy! Luis must be out of his mind!
âNo, Mr.
Barton.
We canât go down that path.
Thereâs no turning back if we fail,â I cautioned.
However, Luis gripped my neck firmly and uttered in a chilling tone, âDenise, weâre in this together now.
Youâve got to work with me, or I wonât ever release you.
â
The pressure on my neck increased, causing me to struggle for air.
