Years ago, Trenton Smith nearly killed Rufus Swallow in his pursuit of Sherry White, infuriating Rufus's father. Afterward, Sherry disappeared without a trace. Despite the conflict with his father, Trenton moved on, even changing much about himself.
But even now, Rufus remains just as motivated as he was three years ago, still hell-bent on taking things from Trenton. Rufus even laughed after almost being shot dead by Trenton.
Zara White was genuinely frightened of a man like Rufus, who didn't even care about his own life.
She valued her life.
She didn't want to get caught up in this fraternal struggle and end up like Sherry, losing her life for no reason.
How did he find her here?
Zara rested her head on the cold table, her sleepiness vanishing with the fear of Rufus's arrival, replaced instead by chills that enveloped her whole body.
