Ethan Herd closed the bedroom door and made a call to John River: "I need you to do something for me. Give Ruka Glenn a warning, tell her to behave, and not to play any more tricks with me. If she dares to touch Scarlett Glenn, I'll make sure she has no place in Loch City."
After hanging up, Ethan turned off his mobile phone, undressed, and entered the bedroom. Annoyed, he removed one of Scarlett Glenn's shoes from beneath the quilt, lay down, and hugged her - to sleep.
Of course, when he said he would sleep with her every day until naturally waking up, he wasn't just talking.
...
The better Scarlett Glenn slept, the crazier Ruka Glenn became.
At the moment, Ruka was almost insane, her eyes bloodshot. She smashed everything in her office - computer, mobile phone, cups, documents, all strewn about the room.
With a knife in her hand, Ruka slashed a stuffed doll given to her by a subordinate, leaving no part of its body undamaged. The filling fell out from within.
