Chapter 406
A thought lingered in her mind, a question that gnawed at her.
Even if he bore no affection for her, would he truly go to the extent of ending her life after they had spent two decades together?
Before long, their vehicle reached its destination, a villa nestled halfway up the mountain.
As they passed through the gate, the car came to a halt in a clearing.
Alexander, having parked the vehicle, unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to regard her. Quinn, catching his silent cue, hastily unbuckled her own and exited the car.
As she stepped out, the faint echo of barking dogs reached her ears. The sound was distinct, unlike the familiar barks of Orion's pets. These dogs sounded aggressive, their barks filled with a primal ferocity. Before Quinn could fully process the situation, Alexander was striding towards her, his hand closing around hers. He led her in the direction of the barking, his pace unyielding. Quinn looked up at him, her gaze complex as she studied his retreating back.
Out of the corner of her eye, she took in the surroundings. It was winter, yet the villa was a haven of spring, with blooming flowers lining the roadside and flower beds.

Quinn was taken aback. She had never known that Alexander owned such a place. She had neither seen it nor set foot in it before.
The barking grew louder, the dogs seemingly closer, and Quinn's heartbeat quickened in response.
She found herself unable to appreciate the beauty around her, her mind consumed by a terrifying thought - was Alexander planning to feed her to these dogs?
The barks were chilling, devoid of the playful innocence of household pets. They were filled with a murderous intent that sent shivers down her spine.
She spotted a fence in the distance, behind which a large group of dogs were held, some locked in cages.
"Alexander," a voice called out.
Sean Vance emerged, a pitchfork in hand, and greeted them both, "Quinn."
Alexander responded with a nod, indicating for Sean to proceed.Sean nodded in return, descending with his pitchfork and broom.

The dogs, previously engaged in their own frolic, all turned their attention towards them.
Quinn took in the sight of the large, fierce-looking wolf dogs and felt a surge of fear, an instinctive urge to retreat.
Alexander, however, held her arm firmly, turning to face her, "Don't you like dogs? Why are you running?"
Quinn's gaze flickered, fear etched on her face as she shook her head, pleading with Alexander.
The dogs were menacing, their mouths frothing with saliva, as if eager to devour her.
Ignoring her plea, Alexander opened the gate and pushed Quinn inside. She stumbled, tripping over her own ankle and falling hard onto the ground.
The moment she hit the ground, the dogs swarmed her, licking her affectionately. Within a minute, she was drenched in dog saliva.
She tried to rise, but the dogs knocked her back down, trampling over her in their excitement. It didn't hurt, but the sheer number of dogs was overwhelming.

Some dogs scratched at her with their claws, leaving her hair in disarray.
Many dogs drooled over her, their mouths hanging open as they looked at her with hungry eyes, as if ready to devour her.
Yet, without a command, they dared not bite. They continued to circle and trample over Quinn, treating her like a new toy. Quinn looked at them, her eyes devoid of joy, filled only with fear.
She crawled on the ground, desperately trying to escape their clutches. It took an eternity to break free from their circle. Quinn clung to the fence, looking up at Alexander.
Alexander, looking down at her, showed no emotion on his face as he asked, "You don't like these dogs?" Quinn shook her head vigorously, her gaze pleading as she gripped the fence, begging him to let her out.
