Chapter 111 Proserpina In Danger Again

• The message had reached Jana Rudenko: her man was heading to the place where Proserpina Delano would be travelling. A small stretch of road along which not much traffic happened at this time of the day, as dusk was falling. Besides, the light rain made it the ideal spot for people to hurry for this area was a wooded stretch, connecting Hollowford, to Thomastown. Most commuters opted to take the highway, which was longer but busier, with more traffic. Few ventured into the forests, those bleak stretches where no human could be seen for miles at night. There were rumours of cabins, long deserted, nestled in the dark woods. But few dared to head that way, not even the foolhardiest of teenagers could be urged to take a walk into the forest.
• But as it was close to Lucien Delano’s palace, she thought derisively, the man had always had his cavalcade take this route. And this evening was no exception.
• Hollowford was thriving now, mainly thanks to the Don, Lucien Delano, whoa had turned his little hometown into an industrial hub. With exotic luxury hotels and a variety of businesses related to the hospitality industry, the folk in the town were quite happy, thank you very much. If someone pointed out that it was a Mafia lord who had put the little town squarely on the map, they were rudely shut down. Loyalty to the Delano family had grown in leaps and bounds ever since Proserpina Delano had emerged, in her shy and retiring way, as a person who would not hesitate to help those in need.
