Nancy’s heart hammered in her chest as she raced downstairs, her thoughts swirling in panic. She could almost hear the sound of her world crumbling. If Millie was indeed alive...

Millie’s sneer showed no fear, only contempt. Perhaps, divine intervention had spared her, affording her the opportunity to exact revenge on the treacherous Nancy.
Marcus, observing the frigid exchange, furrowed his brow, his sharp gaze shifting to Nancy. Under their combined scrutiny, Nancy faltered, her eyes dropping to the ground.
Millie, that wretched creature! Had she told Marcus about the trap? Nancy’s mind raced, her eyes momentarily flashing with a feral intensity, as she wrestled with the reality of Millie’s unexpected return.
After Millie retreated to her room, Nancy remained rooted to the spot, her fingers absently scratching her head in bewilderment. How had Millie survived the frigid night?
Was the universe playing scruel jest at her expense?
Meanwhile, in her own room, Millie was attended to by a physician.
Marcus, ever watchful, followed the doctor as he left, anxiety furrowing his brow. “How is she?” he inquired, his voice tinged with concern.

“Mr. Thomas,” Derek greeted.
Marcus put his hands in his pockets, wearing a stern expression.
“Don't you find it peculiar? Why would Millie wander into the desolate snow forest?” Derek's confusion mirrored Marcus’. The whole thing was so unfathomable.
“Mr. Thomas, perhaps we should ask her what really happened,” he suggested.
Marcus’ eyes flicked upward, his gaze fixing on the ceiling. Millie, he knew, was a woman of fierce independence, often choosing to grapple with her problems alone.
