It s getting late You should go home and get some rest Wendy said her voice calm but firm
Stanley glanced at her with no intention of moving You re right It slate Goodnight
Wendyfroze.
Was he staying here tonight
Mr Hawk hasn tZ ayn brought the key yet Wendy asked trying to keep her voice steady
He won t bring it until tomorrow So tonight I ll be staying here Stanley replied smoothly
No Wendy protested her voice trembling slightly
Stanley turned to her his gaze sharp I m informing you not asking for your permission
Wendy opened her mouth to say something else but before she could the world around her seemed to darken Stanley kissed her again silencing her with a force that left her breathless
In the hospital room Jessica had been dialing Stanley s number relentlessly but there was no answer
She tried Wendy s number next but still noone picked up
Whatweretheydoing?
Thinking back to the images she had seen during the video call Jessica felt rage bubbling up inside her With a fierce motion she threw her phone across the room with aloud crash
Wendy you tramp I ll make sure you pay for this she shouted her fists clenched in fury
Lilian immediately stepped forward to comfort Jessica Calm down You can t let your emotions takeover You need to keep your health in mind
Jessica shoved her away Mom if you really love me help me Do you see what Wendy s doing She s trying to steal Stanley from me I should have never let her marry in my place She and Stanley should never have crossed paths
Lilian felt a pang of regret as well Wendy the girl in the cave from all those years ago was now back in Stanley s life And though Stanley hadn t cared for Wendy at first his attention had shifted entirely to her
Don t worry I have a plan Lilian said a glint of something dark flickering in her eyes
Jessica s curiosity piqued she leaned in What plan
Lilian whispered something into Jessica sear her words low and conspiratorial
Jessica s eyes widened in excitement and she immediately gave her mother a thumbs up
“Mom,youreallyarethe best!”

Did Samuel have some kind of sixth sense
Wendy quickly changed the subject Why were you trying to get in touch with meso urgently
“Mr.Hawkhasbeen lookingforyou.Hehasissuedapublic searchintheindustrytotrackyoudown.Icanbarelyholdthemoffhere.Whatdoyouwanttodo?”Samuelasked,hisvoiceheavywithconcern.
Stanley was searching for her so urgently
It made sense Jessica s condition couldn th old on much longer and with Stanley being so concerned for her it was inevitable that he would come looking for Wendy
Wendy smiled slightly her lips curling into a knowing grin Don t worry Get in touch with him and tell him that I ve arrived in Hove n dale I ll arrange a time to meet him
