Chapter 29

• Mrs. Villis, with her nurturing kindness, had set the table for breakfast, recognizing my need for support due to my recent injury. Her actions resonated with a maternal warmth that I had longed for. Grateful for her presence, I ascended the stairs to freshen up, seeking a moment of solitude.
• However, my solitude was abruptly shattered as I collided with Ella, a figure whose demeanor exuded a chilling confidence. Despite my surprise, I noted that Ella stood firmly, seemingly unaffected despite her claim that she couldn't feel her leg. Bewildered, I listened as she unleashed a cryptic warning that sent a jolt of fear through me.
• "I hope today teaches you a lesson not to mess with people like me," she declared, her voice laced with menace. "If you don't wanna end up like Sarah, stay away from Anderson because he is mine alone."
