A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1836

Arianne’s heart thumped against her chest. The approaching figure was none other than Mateo’s mother herself?!

The same woman who had appeared in the Tremont Tower, scraping her knees as she bawled and begged for her son’s life, was now inching toward Arianne with malefic flames in her eyes. It was as though Mrs. Rodriguez could not wait to skin Arianne alive before severing every single tendon in her body!

Only God knows what sort of plan was nestling inside the skull of a mother who just lost her son. Frightened, Arianne began to wriggle backward as hard as she could, until a wall cut off her retreating path.

She was cornered.

In panic, Arianne’s squirming body knocked a shelf behind her, causing a red toy car to fall from its perch. The toy, after years of storage, had been reduced by time to become easily dismantled; it instantly smashed into a mess of disassembled parts.
