When you woke up, Rhys was staring right at you.
"Oh F/n! I was so worried. I thought you would never wake up!" Rhys yells before hugging you. "I know this must be a hassle, but you must stay here until further notice."

"Why?" You pretend to show concern.

"The doctor said that you have severe stomach flu. Says it might take over a week to recover. He told me you need bed rest in order to recover and travel whatsoever. I really want to stay but I can't stay away from Sola for so long."

"I understand. I will join you as soon as I get better." You smile. Rhys nods before kissing your forehead. You try to keep you disgust at bay. He leaves shortly after as it was rather late. You soon start smiling widely. The plan was working!
About 20 minutes later, Aileen arrives. She has a grim expression on her face.

"F/n, I am so sorry."

"Why are you sorry. I should be thanking you for getting this plan to work. I will be free thanks to you." You smile. Aileen tries to reciprocate. "I am so glad I have friend like you."

With that, Aileen runs up to you and hugs you with tears streaming. "I hope we can still be friends." You agree to it.

For two days, you faked your illness until Rhys needed to leave. After several days, the carriage with the dead girl is sent. The day afterwards, you are ready to leave the the Kesmur estate. Aileen watches you walk towards the main doors. You were free finally. You are smiling as you open the door and then you stopped. Outsode in front of you was the person you didn't want to see. Rhys.

"How?" The only words you could utter at that moment.

"Did you think you could leave me, my dear wife." Rhys smiles at you. His eyes weren't though. You stand in shock. "Thank you Aileen for alerting me of this and I am sorry, but F/n and I won't be able to attend your wedding."

You turn towards Aileen. "Aileen. How could you?"

"Kill people with kindness. That way they won't suspect you of anything." Those words. The words you told Aileen when you met her, being thrown right at your face. "I'm sorry F/n."

Your arm is grabbed by Rhys and you get dragged in a waiting carriage. You began to worry whether or not you will be okay after this.
