I was clueless about my fatherâs reaction.
Riley answered, âNo word from him yet.
â
I couldnât help but feel a tinge of astonishment.
It appeared that my fatherâs bond with Marley wasnât as strong as I had imagined.
He didnât rush to the rescue like a knight in shining armor.
As I observed Marley, her state of mind teetering on the brink of madness, my emotions grew tangled.
âMarley, if my father begs me, Iâ1L set you free.
â
Debraâs POV:
Marley and Colin, locked in a heated argument, quickly halted their fight.
Colin squinted at me, his voice dripping with mockery.
âDebra, your father is a proud man.
He wouldnât stoop so low as to beg you.
â
My lips curled in a small smile.
Truth be told, Colin was quite the enigma.
During his captivity under
Calebâs grasp, he often seemed lost in a trance, and his behavior was peculiar.

But the moment he encountered his sister, everything changed.
Suddenly, he became lucid and composed, ready to engage in daily verbal sparring matches with Marley, even entertaining thoughts of her demise.
He might just be the only one capable of reining in Marleyâs wild antics.
Arching an eyebrow, I retorted with a mischievous grin, âWell, if my father values his reputation above all else, then I shall oblige his wishes.
Marley and you will be keep each other company in the prison forever.
â
Marleyâs face crumbled dramatically, a mix of shock and alarm flashing across her features.
She gripped the iron bars, seething with anger.
âDebra, you conniving witch! If you dare pull this stunt on me, the Frosty River Pack wonât let you off the hook.
Theyâll make sure everyone in Roz Town pays with their lives.
â
I crossed my arms, a smirk playing on my lips.
âMarley, have you lost your mind from being locked up? The Frosty River Pack is drowning in debt.
I doubt they can even scr@pe together enough funds for a road trip, let alone a full-blown battle.
â
âBitch!â Marley fumed, her breath heavy and her chest heaving rapidly.
She was so infuriated that her face flushed crimson, but she was at a loss for words.
I didnât want to waste any more time on her, so I turned away and walked off with Riley.
Back at the office, I resumed the conversation from earlier.
âRiley, Gale has made arrangements for Roz Town.
She wants us to proceed with the deal with Caleb and sell the town to him as soon as possible.
