Chapter 52
It took two pieces of paper, front and back, to write down every single little thing I wanted to say.
After I finished writing, I put the bank card and my letter into an envelope, then wrote on the back "To Harper."
I took out another piece of paper, wanting to write something for Griffon. But I didn't know what to say. It was as though everything had frozen up inside of my brain, and everything I wanted to say turned into nothing.
In the end, I only wrote three words, alongside his name. I put down the pen, folded the letter, and put it in my desk drawer.
After I was gone, Harper would likely come to clean up my belongings. When that time came, she would find everything.
With this out of the way, I took a handful of medicine. Tonight's task was heavy, and I had to stabilize my body. Otherwise, all my efforts would be in vain.
Opening the locked desk drawer, I took out the small bottle of sleeping pills that I'd saved for this night. After putting the sleeping pills, the fake contract, and a dagger into my bag, I took out my phone and booked a hotel room.
I went to the hotel to decorate it first and then texted Roman the address.
[Mr. Starke, Room 2088 of the Windmere Hotel. I'm waiting for you.]
I thought Roman would come straight over when he got my message, but strangely, he replied with a question mark.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

I frowned. Didn't he agree to get the contract tonight?
Just as I was about to text again, my phone buzzed with another message.
[Wait for me.]
Dismissing my doubts, I put down the phone and took out the sleeping pills and a wineglass.
I clutched my dagger and carefully crushed the pills with the tip of the blade.
Last time, I had planned to fight Roman to the death, but I hadn't prepared enough. This time, I was ready for the big, bad wolf.
