CHAPTER 46: Marcel returns

  Daisy's POV

  As I sat in the cosy living room of my childhood home, the flickering flames of the fireplace casting a warm glow around me, I couldn't shake the unease that had settled in my chest since Sophia's unexpected visit. Avery had gone to fetch us some tea, leaving me with my thoughts and the ominous warning.

  Just as I started calming my racing thoughts, a knock at the door jolted me out of my reverie. My heart leapt into my throat, my mind racing with questions. Could it be Sophia returning to continue her ominous threats? Or was it someone entirely different, with their agenda and secrets to unveil?

  With hesitant steps, I made my way to the door, my hand trembling slightly as I reached out to turn the knob. As the door swung open, I was met with a sight that I never expected to see – Marcel, standing on the doorstep, his expression a mix of surprise and uncertainty.

  "Daisy," he breathed, his voice soft and filled with many emotions.
