Our Way
Rebecca arrived at her husband's manor and went to the kitchen to find Ebony. She didn't find the woman there, only the cook busy with cooking. "Where is Ebony?" she asked.
"She's upstairs, lady," the cook replied.
"Did my husband arrive already?" she asked.
The cook shook her head and responded, "Not yet… my lady."
"Okay, thanks!" Rebecca said and left the kitchen. It's a good thing that her husband is not home yet.
She climbed the stairs and went upstairs to her room.
When she reached her room, she lay in bed and stared at the ceiling. She recalled her conversation with Graven earlier. She was feeling relieved that she no longer have to kill her father-in-law. It somehow lessens the guilt and anxiety in her heart.
She knows that there is a big possibility that Zalvo might be able to fight back during the time she will attempt to kill him, putting her life and her twins inside her tummy in danger if he will retaliate.
