Thinking about her escape plan, Raegan made a conscious effort to behave exceptionally well. Even though Mitchel granted her permission to leave the villa, she refrained from stepping outside for the past two days.

Mitchel did not visit during this time, leaving Raegan uncertain of his whereabouts. She didn't know whether he was with Lauren or busy with other matters.

The vigilant bodyguards diligently reported her every move to Mitchel.

Raegan's apparent compliance during these days pleased Mitchel, leading the bodyguards to lower their guard.

On the third day, Raegan informed the bodyguards of an errand she needed to run. Her destination was a studio where she and Nicole had previously taken photos together before Nicole's demise.

Raegan planned to visit the studio to retrieve the photos and then make her getaway. Hector had arranged everything for her.

This time, Raegan aimed to sever all ties with Mitchel.

Arriving at the studio, Raegan walked in while the bodyguards waited in the car.

Raegan awaited the photos in the VIP area on the second floor.

According to the plan, she would wet her clothes and then buy a new outfit from the studio.

The shop assistant pointed at the dressing room at the end of the corridor and said, "There you go."

As Raegan passed the stairwell, she spotted someone ascending the stairs. Upon closer inspection, she saw that it was Mitchel.

In a hurry, Raegan rushed into the nearest dressing room, unaware of the "Exclusive" sign on the door.

Within the confines of the room, fear consumed Raegan. She wondered why Mitchel was here. Did he discover her plan and come to apprehend her?

Suddenly, a familiar voice emanated from the next door, seemingly engaged in a phone conversation. "I'm at the studio trying on the wedding dress... Mitchel is also here with me..."

It was Lauren.

Raegan's heart sank in an instant.

Raegan realized that Mitchel and Lauren were here to take wedding photos.

Clenching her fists, Raegan forced a self-mocking smile, but tears streamed down her cheeks. It dawned on her that Mitchel had deceived her again.

There was a knock on the door.
