High above the city, in a luxury hotel suite, Owen stared at their quiet chat window, frowning.

[Close the main gate. It’s been windy lately. Make sure she doesn’t get sick before her punishment ends.]

There was no reply from the butler.

Instead, a call came in from the local police station.

“Mr. Carter? We’ve discovered a body by the roadside. According to the ID, it appears to be your wife. Please come to the station to confirm.”
