Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 676: While others might view those confined days with pity, Maia treasured them as sacred. She understood that no physical barriers could truly contain Zoey. The only prison that could hold her was one of her own making. Zoey's response arrived within seconds: "It was nothing. Take care of yourself." Gentle warmth bloomed in Maia's chest, knowing that at this very moment, Zoey sat in her private courtyard, vigilantly watching over her domain.

Meanwhile, within the confines of Wront Prison, the current warden Shiloh lingered anxiously at the entrance of the villa garden located behind the prison.
