The woman crammed into the sack was scared out of her wits. She yearned to beg for mercy but
feared that her aunt and uncle would recognize her voice. She knew the horrible things she had done
to Arabella, and if her cruelty was uncovered, she might lose their affection, just like her brothers.
Or worse, they might despise her.
“Alright, calm down now, don't get yourself all worked up,’ Bard soothed as he rubbed her shoulders.
"Where's Bella?"
"I told her to head back first."
"Does she know you're here?"
"I told her."
Bard gently caressed his wife's face. "Look how upset my sweetheart is."
Eunice couldn't help but chuckle at his antics.
With a doting tone, Bard asked, "Did you find anything you liked shopping today?"
“Oh yes, the new season's collection is rather fetching."
“And what did you get for Bella?"
"Clothes, shoes, handbags, a bit of everything. I'll take her out for some jewelry another day."
"How come you didn't use my credit card?"
He had waited all day and hadn't received a single bank notification.
Eunice flashed a coy smile. “A mere three million, I can handle that."
“And what about you? Didn't you treat yourself to anything?"
"Bella got me gifts! The entire trunk is filled with presents from her, Eunice beamed, her smile radiant
and enchanting.
"Look at how happy you are,’ Bard smiled, catching her infectious joy.
"It's my niece's token of affection.” Eunice straightened his collar, "There are a few things in there for
you too."
Bard lit up, pleasantly surprised, “For me as well?"
“Of course. Our niece is nothing if not fair."
"Is it a suit?"
“Suits, shirts, ties, she got it all.” After adjusting his collar, Eunice gazed at him with eyes full of love.
“Then let's pick up Serena and head home to see our gifts. As for her,’ Bard wrapped an arm around
Eunice's shoulder, glancing at the sack on the ground, “her fate, alive or dead, we'll leave in the hands
of the Almighty.
Eunice couldn't be bothered with the sack anymore and walked away with Bard.
Serena listened as their footsteps faded and the car drove off. She dared not move until several
minutes had passed, ensuring they wouldn't return. Only then did she start to whimper for help.
At that moment, the fruit shop nearby was closing, and a clerk, carrying out the trash, spotted the sack
on the ground. Hearing muffled cries for help from within, she was startled but quickly untied the ropes
sealing it.
Serena was finally exposed to the outside world, her eyes adjusting to the light as large snowflakes fell
from the sky. Her phone was ringing non-stop on the ground.
The clerk saw the blood on Serena's mouth and her filthy appearance - stained with wine and muck -
and hastily helped her to her feet.
