The woman with short hair smirked and replied, “We're here to kill you!"

Raegan had been at home, waiting for Mitchel.

By ten in the evening, Mitchel was still nowhere in sight.

Reluctantly, she called Matteo, learning that Mitchel was at Serenity Villas and that she could seek him there if needed.

Raegan hadn't visited Serenity Villas since their divorce.

After some thought, Raegan decided to go there.

Before leaving, she showered and chose her outfit. In her closet, she found a white lace underdress, a gift from Nicole after her divorce.

It was meant to boost her confidence. She had never worn it, finding it too bold.

Yet, she chose to wear it this time.

Arriving at Serenity Villas, Raegan worried about being allowed in post-divorce.

To her surprise, the security guard welcomed her warmly, stating she was expected.

Confused but relieved, Raegan thanked the guard.

The security guard informed Raegan, “Madam, we've been instructed to allow you to enter whenever you arrive."

Raegan, taken aback by this, found herself at a loss for words.

After this exchange, she parted ways with the guard.

At the front door, she faced the facial recognition lock.

To her astonishment, it opened for her.

Mitchel hadn't removed her from the system.

She thought perhaps Mitchel, busy with other matters, hadn't updated it, especially since a new house would likely be purchased for any future marriage in the Dixon family.

Navigating the house with familiarity, she noticed it was dark, save for a sliver of light from the bedroom.
