As the sky outside began to dim, Hannah glanced at her computer clock. It was nearing 7 p.m.
She shut her laptop, switched her outfit, and got ready to leave her apartment to hail a taxi to the villa.
“Hannah!”
Exiting her community gate, she noticed Declan’s car parked nearby.
He approached her briskly as he saw her.
“What brings you here?” Hannah raised her eyebrows slightly.
“I knew you were headed to the villa tonight. I was passing by, so I figured I’d offer you a ride to Grandma’s.”
Hannah wasn’t keen on riding with Declan and dismissed the offer.
“I can just catch a taxi.”
“It’s convenient for me to give you a ride. No need to bother with a taxi,” Declan countered, opening the passenger door for her.
“Come on.”
Hannah looked at the passenger seat, then announced, “I’ll sit in the back.”
“The backseat’s cluttered with gifts for Grandma. You’ll have to sit up front.”
Peering through the car window, Hannah noticed the array of presents in the back. After a brief hesitation, she climbed into the front seat.
Declan shut the car door, returned to his driving position, and set the car in motion.
As they drove off, a Porsche Cayenne became visible, parked on the opposite side of the community.
“Sir, she’s gone. Should we tail them?”
Observing Hannah get into Declan’s car, a chill seemed to settle in Bryson’s eyes, making his voice equally icy.
“Follow them.”

On the way, Declan attempted to reminisce about old times with Hannah, but she remained aloof and unresponsive.
Upon reaching the villa, Declan stopped the car. Hannah promptly got out.
Donna, the housekeeper, welcomed Hannah with a beaming face.
“Miss Moore, it’s wonderful to see you. The madam mentions you all the time. She’s been so excited for your visit.”
“Donna.” Hannah returned the smile.
