These recent days had brought Kyle Astor a newfound understanding of Alexander's unflappable demeanor.

In the midst of turmoil, allowing anxiety to take hold served no purpose.

If he fully immersed himself in the search for Quinn, the matters at hand would surely be neglected.

And even upon locating her, what next? Would he be coerced into relinquishing company shares in the face of

Walter's threats? Or would he be compelled to engage in a high-stakes confrontation, a last-resort strategy that

promised mutual destruction?

In that scenario, Alexander wouldn't stand to gain anything.

The more Kyle Astor considered it, the chillier he felt, yet he admired Alexander's composure, his clear-sighted

assessment of risks and rewards.

Men like Alexander were meant for greatness, unfettered by the snares of emotion. The art of making choices

was all about balance.Night fell upon them.

The temperature at the countryside farmhouse dropped to just above freezing. Quinn was wrapped in a men's

black down coat, likely belonging to Walter, its length reaching down to her ankles. She huddled close to the fire

pit indoors, while Walter reclined in an armchair nearby.

This time, her ankle was shackled not with rope but with a chain fastened to the foot of the bed, just long

enough to allow her to move around within the house. It was eerily quiet, save for the crackling of the fire and

the sound of Walter flipping through the pages of his book.

Walter read by the fire, its warm orange glow softening the features of his already tender face.

Quinn's feet grew numb from squatting, so she silently shifted to kneel on the floor. Walter glanced her way but

said nothing.

She watched the flames dance, casting flickering light in her eyes while her long lashes veiled her emotions.

Squatting there, beneath his feet, she indeed resembled a docile, obedient puppy.Lost in thought, Quinn

suddenly felt a hand atop her head.

Her neck stiffened; she held her body rigid, daring not to move. As Walter petted her hair and continued to read,

Quinn nearly convinced herself she was nothing but a hound. But she dared not stir, knowing full well that

angering him would lead to more than mental torment-physical pain was a currency he was all too familiar with.

And she had already learned that from experience. Since escape was impossible, why not make things a tad

easier for herself?"

Add scoal," Walter abruptly commanded.Quinn hurried to her feet, dragging the chain over to a box of coal,

shoveling sinto the pit.

After she finished, she stole a glance at Walter. A mere flicker of his eyes was all it took for her to press her lips

together and resher crouched position in silence.

Quinn alternated between squatting and sitting, fatigue dictating her position. Though there was a bed and

stools in the room, Walter wouldn't allow her the respite of sitting on them.

Tpassed indistinctly until Quinn, struggling to keep her eyes open, slumped forward unexpectedly,

plummeting straight towards the fire pit. The searing heat surged at her, but it was too late to dodge.
