Arwen didn't speak the entire journey, nor did Aiden force her. He simply sat beside her as the car made its way to East Serenity Residence.
When they were about to arrive and the car entered the gated community, Neil glanced at his boss through the rearview mirror. "Sir, we are here. Should we —"
"There would be no need, Neil." Arwen cut in, impatiently. "Just pull at the entrance as soon as possible. The guards won't stop you."
Neil looked back through the mirror. He wasn't very aware of what had happened, but given how the lady looked restless, he could tell that something wasn't right. He hadn't ever seen Arwen looking like that —not when she was around Aiden.
His gaze darted to look at Aiden, who gave him a small, firm nod. Taking the cue, Neil didn't slow down, not even at the guard post. He drove straight in.
Arwen rolled the window down just enough for the guards to see her face, ensuring that no one stepped forward to stop them.
