The further they drove, the less Harlow wanted the surprise. The city had long since disappeared behind them, replaced by an eerie emptiness. No buildings, no people, just an endless stretch of land and a dense forest pressing in from both sides. A chill crept down her spine. If Alanis planned to kill her here, no one would ever find her.
She should have known better than to trust him.
The silver gate groaned open as the car rolled forward, the sound scraping against her nerves. Harlow’s hand had already turned clammy as she took in deep breaths readying her mind for whatever Alanis had planned.
The chauffeur maneuvered smoothly past the entrance, guiding them deeper into the unknown. Harlow’s fingers curled into her lap as she took in the vast estate, the towering trees enclosing them like silent watchers.
She hadn’t brought any of her safety equipment. Why would she? She was with Alanis. But now, as the car continued forward, a terrifying realization settled over her, if he meant to harm her, she had no way to escape.
Minutes passed, each one stretching longer than the last until the trees gave way to something unexpected. A breathtaking expanse of roses spread out before her along with other flowers. The sea of colors was so rich and vibrant that it almost didn’t seem real. Every shade imaginable, blooming in endless abundance.
