NovelGoldWhen Athena returned to this place, her heart was a swirling mass of anxiety and fear, devoid of any trace of familiarity orfort.
Her mind couldn't help but replay the haunting images of Lindsay's execution and the moment she shot Marlon dead.
If Kerwin could somehow know what she had done to avenge him, he'd probably think she was pathetic.

The site was adorned with beautiful flowers, hidden away in an unassuming spot. Today, she feltpelled to see it again.
Rising to her feet, Athena headed to the spot.

stray dog.
The stench was overwhelming.
Athena's face turned pale, and she thought she must be hallucinating.
She took bold steps forward, but the coffin indeed held only the dposing body of a dog.
Who could have done this? She was the only one who knew about this grave, and she rarely visited.

And with the Keller family in turmoil, if Marlon were indeed alive, shouldn't he be back there taking charge? Why would he be here,
orchestrating this taunt?
