On leaving the Finch house, Kylie casually took a stick of gum from her bag and stuffed it into her mouth.

There was a black car parked on the side of the road, about two hundred meters from the Finch house.

When she walked closer, Elliot got out of the car and opened the door. "Ma'am, Lord Ethan sent me to drive you home."

"Was he stalking me?" Kylie asked, a little ill at ease.

Elliot didn't explain any further, but simply opened the door, and gestured inside. "Please get in the car."

Kylie didn't think too much of it and bent over to get inside the vehicle.

As soon...
