"Please don't strain yourself. You're not going anywhere, and I'm right here," Jane reassured her, seeing Martha smile and hum in response. But two weeks later, with the winter growing harsher, the old woman passed away peacefully in her sleep.

"Yes, my throat feels strange," Martha's voice sounded frail. "Miss Jane, I have a selfish request."

Over the next few days, until Ricardo had to depart for Corby, the two of them met regularly at the cafe, enjoying each other's company. However, amidst these moments, Jane faced another challenge—her caretaker's health started to worsen, and Martha had begun to cough up blood.

Ricardo shrugged. "A bit, but I heard this cafe sells the best sandwiches from mi amigo, so I thought I'd give it a try as a snack," he explained, watching Jane settle in front of him. "Fate works in mysterious ways, doesn't it, Miss Reinhart? Who would have thought we'd end up here at the same time?"

"I hope so," Jane responded with a deep sigh. "I wonder if there will be any grand gesture when the final doll is left behind. Perhaps for someone special."

"Milady," Addison's voice broke the silence as he entered the room, finding Jane perched on the edge of her desk, her attention focused on the board covered with details of the scarecrow's victims. "There's news from the parish house in Milfred Garden. A woman in Ireland, Samantha O'Brien, had her eyes and heart gouged out."

Mallory's relentless assault continued, her focus unwavering as she directed the knives towards George rather than the board. With each throw, the blades closed in until one finally tore through George's sleeve. Amidst this, she found twisted satisfaction in George's fear, watching him squirm as payback for the trouble he'd caused her.

George nodded vigorously, his head bobbing like a bobblehead. He should find a way to call for help! Either he should be able to escape from this castle or inform his father in some way! His father was the count and would then attack this stupid, pureblooded vampire and close the chapter forever! But before he could contemplate an entire plan, Mallory hurled a knife in his direction.

"What Mallory? Lady Mallory Winchester," Hadeon scolded, his tone dripping with disapproval as he shot George a stern look. "It looks like someone forgot to teach you manners, or you must have forgotten to pick it up. But fear not, Georgie. Van Doren Castle is just the place for such errands. How great is that?" He flashed a bright smile.

"I—I think there's been a misunderstanding. I didn't threaten her, not at all," the human stammered, his nervous smile betraying his words. "We were just having a conversation, right?" he turned to Mallory, as if they were both on the same team.

"But what about me?" George asked with disbelief because he had been doing everything he had been told to, even though not willingly.

"Hush now. We both know you're in agreement with me. Especially after the intimate bond we forged last night," Hadeon smiled at George. "Now," he said, turning his gaze back at Mallory. "Now, for every miss, like the one that just took flight and landed three meters away, you'll face a penalty."

"Stop contemplating the direction of the knife and focus on the target," Hadeon's voice drawled, his grin as sharp as the knives. "And if you need some motivation, just think about the lovely times you spent with Georgie. You know how he tarnished your reputation and practically escorted you to the scaffold. There's no need to worry about damaging something that is already damaged. Isn't that right, Georgie?"

But alas, when she let the knife fly, it soared through the air, completely missing both George and the dartboard. Instead, it struck a nearby tree, startling a flock of birds into a frenzy of feathers and squawks.

As Mallory took a deep breath and reached for one of the knives, determination etched across her face. She turned to face George, whose eyes bulged with fear. She had punched his nose with precision before, so how bad could her aim really be. Right?

"Just kidding," Hadeon sang with a chuckle, placing his tea cup aside. His slender fingers hovered ominously above the tray of knives, as if selecting the sharpest one. "But it seems we're in need of a demonstration. Let me show how it is done."

"That's a problem," Hadeon hummed with a thoughtful expression, and he said, not so quietly with a serious expression, "Perhaps we need to make a hole in little Georgie's chest."

So father, please don't look for us, as Gary and I have embarked on a new chapter together, one filled with love and sex.

I pen this letter because I won't be able to say it to you directly. Father… I am madly in love with our trusty coachman, Gary. It was fate that made us spend so much time together that we fell in love. True love, father, and he loves me for who I am. He loves bald heads, and I have decided to shave them off for him. And frankly, I couldn't be happier. It will be easier during the summer heat.
