Recognition dawned as she locked eyes with Millie, fear and a swirl of emotions
dancing across her features.
“Do not draw near. The realms of my misery are vast enough. Permit me my
escape.”
Millie remained resolute, her voice a blend of gentleness and unwavering
resolve. “Please, reveal what brought about this disfigurement.”
A persistent intuition told Millie that there was a puppeteer orchestrating Fiona’s
fate. Could it be that her mission's failure resulted in her unseen puppet master
punishing her with this disfigurement? In the realm of a woman's life, marring her
face proved to be a devastating blow.
Fiona murmured, “It was an inadvertent scalding, an accident.”
She existed as an insignificant entity, powerless against the might of the Rayne
family. ALL she could do was internalize her struggles.
“Does the truth you bear subject you to fears of retribution
ANGELA'SLIBRARY
A pregnant pause conveyed the gravity of concealed truths. “Desist from this
interrogation. My past missteps have rendered me defenseless, unable to defy
you. I beseech you, free me from this anguish.”
Millie's gaze descended to the alley’s mossy corner. The sight seemed to
underscore the weight of Fiona’s downfall, her former arrogance now utterly
shattered.
With unspoken queries Lingering, Millie pivoted, ready to depart. “Wait.”
Turning, Millie encountered Fiona’s gaze, a mirror reflecting the turmoil within
her. Beneath the scars and shadows, gratitude had taken root, acknowledging
the compassionate heart that had refrained from deepening her anguish.
“Would you be willing to extend a gesture of aid? I have no money for
sustenance.”
Lois had repossessed all the gifts Leon had bestowed upon her, a consequence
of her vying for Lois’ partner. This action had effectively severed Fiona’s avenues
of support.
Millie retrieved her wallet and handed over all the cash within. “Thank you. Millie,
you possess a kind heart, don’t you?”
Accepting the money, Fiona’s eyes welled with reddened emotions. Silent as the
night, Millie departed without uttering a word.
Clutching the money in her grasp, Fiona's gaze followed Millie's retreating figure.
Memories of Leon's outstretched hand played in her mind, eliciting a humble
smile to grace her Lips.
Awareness settled within her that his gesture stemmed from a belief that she
held a place within his heart. His act of kindness concealed a lingering ache,
revealing his heart's unhealed wounds.
At the city square, Leon assisted Lois as she settled into a chair.
“Stay here. I'll go fetch the car and drive you to the hospital.”
