Chapter 44: Five Years Ago

• Five years before, when Ethan had first come home, Aiden’s mother had visited Toprak Mansion with gifts, only to be chased away and bitten by Ethan’s dog.
• Ethan had never explained himself. It was the butler who had finally gone out and clarified that Lord Ethan forbade any woman from approaching Toprak Mansion.
• “Director Johnson, someone’s here for you,” a staff member called in a strange voice. All of a sudden, everyone was focused. There was a van parked by the roadside.
