319 Dying in fire

The last time Morvena had seen her cousin was four years back. Winter was happy, married to the monster despite Morvena's objection. 

Morvena thought her cousin would be happy at least, but she got a call from Nash one fine night and informed her that he would send Winter to Russia, and she has to keep the truth off from Enger. And, she received her cousin in a state where she couldn't recognize the woman. Never Morvena expected her cousin to be in such a state after seeing her in person. The bubbly girl she has always seen has turned sick to one's stomach. 

''Please keep it as a secret from Enger,'' Nash said, bringing Morvena out of her thoughts. He had to use all his resources to keep Winter's life a secret from Enger. At least, he was happy that she is doing well under Morvena's care.

''I am not foolish to send her into the monster's den again.'' Replied Morvena crudely. ''You proved humanity still prevails in Enger's community.''
