Ultimately, she broke the silence, her voice heavy.

“Raegan, I'm so sorry for your loss."

Her frustration welled, anger aimed at Mitchel for his absence during this trying time. Questions loomed about their future together. Did the future hold anything promising for the two of them?

Thankfully, Raegan did not reject Luciana's presence. While she remained silent, she didn't cast Luciana aside.

The following day ushered in two uninvited visitors.

Kenia and Tessa come to the church.

Tessa, ignorant of the death of Raegan's grandmother until yesterday, felt her legs weaken from the shocking news.

She wasn't afraid of being blamed for the old woman's death.

Instead, it was because Hector had promised to give her a good lesson. It was hard to foresee how Mitchel would punish her now that Raegan's grandma had passed away.

Tessa, fearful of the repercussions of her actions, was no longer reluctant to leave the country. She now wished to escape as swiftly as possible.

She informed Kenia what had transpired, and Kenia became agitated as well. Kenia didn't expect that Tessa would cause such a huge trouble.

It wasn't an effective method to hide abroad. Tessa would be tracked down by Mitchel wherever she went if he intended to punish her.

After thinking for a while, they decided that beseeching Kyler for assistance was the wisest course of action, given the intertwining ties between the Murray and Dixon families.

Given that, she assumed that this matter could be over soon.

After all, Raegan's grandmother had succumbed to illness, not Tessa's hands.

Resolute in their decision, they materialized in the church together.

"Luciana," said Kenia, attempting to curry favor with Luciana.

Luciana frowned.

"Why are you here?"

Kenia grinned but quickly realized it was a little too much. She remarked, “I came here with Tessa to pay tribute to the deceased.”
