A Ruling Passion – Chapter 0580

Just before her shower, Arianne was taken aback when she noticed an extra toothbrush in the cup on her sink. Mark had used it before. After some thought, she decided not to throw it away. There was no harm in leaving it there anyway. She refused to admit that she had unconsciously acknowledged the possibility of Mark staying the night at her house from time to time. That’s why she left the toothbrush alone...

She checked her phone after stepping out of the bathroom and found a missed call from a strange number. It could have been a spam call if it had only been one call, but this number had called her seven times. She didn’t hear it, as she had been in the bathroom.

Suspicious, she returned the call, and it was soon answered. A familiar-sounding middle-aged man’s voice spoke from the receiver, “Miss Wynn, what took you so long to answer the phone? I’m a condo security guard. There’s some people here to see you, claiming to be your family members. I wasn’t sure if I should let them in, so I tried calling you. It’s a middle-aged woman and an old woman on a wheelchair.”

A middle-aged woman and an old woman on a wheelchair? That sounded even more suspicious to Arianne. The voice on the phone actually sounded like the security guard’s, but she had no idea how he managed to get her contact details.

It had been ten years since she had last heard the words “family”. After her father’s death, she had become an orphan and was raised by Mark. Where did these two come from?
