Chapter 7 - Evelyn Attempts A Desperate Escape From The Estate
While Marcus was engrossed in the journal’s opening pages, Evelyn slowly backed out of the library doorway.
She turned on her heel and hurried down the grand hallway toward the service exit leading to the private garage.
Sarah noticed the sudden movement, immediately rushing to the library threshold to alert Marcus of the escape attempt.
“Mr. Reynolds! Your mother is running away toward the garage!” Sarah called out urgently down the corridor.
Marcus looked up from the journal, handing the book carefully to Sarah before bolting after his fleeing mother.
“Stay here with Lily, Sarah!” Marcus shouted over his shoulder as his heavy footsteps pounded across the marble floor.
He burst through the heavy glass double doors into the subterranean garage just in time to see Evelyn’s luxury sedan reversing.
The taillights flared red in the dim lighting as the vehicle sped toward the automated security exit gates.
Marcus slammed his fists against the side of a parked SUV, frustrated as the estate gates began to close behind her.
