Lily let out an exhale, clenched her teeth, and said in a choked voice, "I know she's always been a light sleeper and that she’s been too exhausted lately...so I gave her some sleep-inducing tea to drink before bed.
"If everything goes right, she'll be asleep until tomorrow morning..."
Nigel’s entire body stiffened when he heard this. After a moment, he pursed his lips and let out an exhale." Alright then, Zach and Yuri, plan B. We don't need to wake Mommy; we'll take her away right now!"
Yuri nodded. Then, as soon as he wrapped Luna up in a blanket, a smokey, burning stench wafted in from outside.
"It's too late..." Zach, who at this moment was looking out from the balcony, bit down on his lip with a pained expression. He stared at Aura, who was standing near the back door, brandishing a pair of hedge trimming scissors and forcing the butler, the servants, and the two children back into the house. " She's discovered them."
Not only did Aura discover them trying to escape, but she even set the entire house on fire. Because of the gasoline she poured, the entire Blue Bay Villa had erupted into flames.
However, she used the scissors to force Nellie, Nigel,
and the servants back into the burning house!
The smell of burning rubber was incredibly pungent, and it finally woke Luna.
As soon as she felt the high temperature and strange odor in the room, she immediately knew what had happened.
When she opened her eyes, the first thing she heard was Zach saying, "It's too late..."
What did he mean, it was too late?
What was too late?
Luna furrowed her brows and immediately stormed onto the balcony.
She was devastated by the scene before her.
Aura was brandishing a weapon and forcing the rest o f the people back into the burning building! As she did this, she cackled, "You won't escape this today!"
