Garret mentally kicked himself for asking such a stupid question.
Alone in his study, Yardley pinched the bridge of his nose, a headache throbbing at his temples.
"Heartless little brat."
To vanish in such a spectacular, devastating way. Their father had been bedridden in the hospital out of sheer grief over her 'death.' Did she not know? To be this ruthless and not even send a secret message...
Was she really that disgusted by everything that had happened? Did she resent them that much?
The more Yardley thought about it, the angrier he got. Yet, simultaneously, the suffocating grief that had plagued him for months began to lift.
No matter what she had pulled, as long as she was breathing, that was enough.
...
Smaro Town.
Herbert received the intelligence almost immediately. Knowing Fairfax had mobilized a massive search team told him everything he needed to know. And Yardley was on the hunt, too.
It was spring, and the wild mountain berries were perfectly ripe.
Starla and Romy returned to their rustic cabin with baskets full of the vibrant, tart fruit.
"These make amazing preserves," Romy said, setting the basket down. "Really good for you."
"They're too sour," Starla replied softly.
"Not once you cook them down into jam."
Starla didn't reply. She had been speaking very little lately.
She had tried to run away once, but Herbert had caught her. Romy had genuinely tried to help her, but she had vastly underestimated Herbert's terrifying obsession. He kept Starla under maximum security.

Why The ML is Idiot ๐๐๐ i Dont understand,i Think herbert is more suitable to become the ML he is most compose and calm than the ML ๐๐...
"You're a failure as a husband and coward as a Man" This is what i want to say in Fairfax hahaha you dont deserved a wife if you cant protect her...
Hahaha This plot of story i hate about, choosing another girl instead of your own wife is something unreal, you didnt considered your wife feeling, you didnt even trust her and later on you will say sorry?? Was sorry will fixed everything you've done? Was sorry fixed her heart? it was unfair for your wife, you must choose your wife whatever it is. You know your wife well more than anyone else and the only person she should lean on was the person who pushes her away...
Finally๐...
