In Preagend, Darin left the premises of his family business, sliding into his car
and steering it toward his home.
Unbeknownst to him, a convoy of several vehicles discreetly trailed his path.
As the road grew quieter, Darin’s vehicle was abruptly halted, compelled to a
standstill by the imposing presence of a Land Rover. Exiting his car, Darin’s gaze
locked onto the vehicle that had forced him to stop.
Seated within the Land Rover, Derek drummed his fingers on the steering wheel,
his measured actions imbued with calculated confidence.
Through the windshield, Darin’s eyes met Derek's, Marcus’ assistant, a sight that
sent a shiver down his spine. An air of unease settled upon him as he speculated
that Marcus had discerned his intentions to kill Millie.
A full minute passed before Derek emerged from his car, a smirk adorning his
features as he approached Darin.
“Derek, what is the meaning of this?” Darin attempted to feign composure his
voice laced with a veneer of calmness.
“Mr. Barker, it has come to my attention that you bear no grudge against Mrs.
Thomas. Why then do you persist in your attempts to end her life? She is a
defenseless woman. Does shame elude you as you repeatedly plot her demise?”
Derek's words dripped with disdain as he closed the distance and patted Darin's
shoulder.

“Is your life lacking excitement, Mr. Barker? Well, allow me to inject a bit of
intrigue.”
Darin’s legs quivered, his limited combat training proving insufficient against
Derek's skills. It was common knowledge in their circle that Derek had been
trained on Raven Island.
Moreover, Darin's followers filled the vehicles trailing behind him.
The desolate road stretched before then as the sun dipped below the horizon. A
sense of impending doom settled upon Darin, leaving him with the unnerving
certainty that escape would prove a formidable challenge. Summoning all his
efforts, Darin sought to steady himself.
Perhaps a misunderstanding has arisen, Derek, let's clarify matters.” “Remember
these words and offer your explanation to Mr. Thomas. My role is to fulfill my
assignment,” Derek declared with a stern countenance, his gaze darkening as he
pivoted to return to his car. With a surge of acceleration, his vehicle zipped past
Darin. Simultaneously, a trailing car accelerated toward Darin's position.
In an instant, Darin found himself launched into the air by the force of impact.
The following morning, Millie awoke early, contemplating rising from the bed
when Marcus’ arm encircled her soft waist.
“Indulge in a little more sleep.”
Millie grazed her fingers across his forehead, noting the absence of fever. She
then bestowed a tender kiss on his lips.
“Darling, rest a while longer. I am unable to fall asleep.”
