Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **Time Between Lost Worlds - Steven Bennett** **Chapter 35** Whitney stood by the windowsill, her gaze fixed on the two bodyguards stationed outside. A storm of frustration brewed within her, darkening her features. With a deep breath, she picked up her phone and dialed Samuel, her father. But to her dismay, he abruptly hung up on her, leaving her feeling even more isolated.

Refusing to concede defeat, Whitney quickly turned her attention to April and dialed her number. Unfortunately, the call went unanswered, echoing her growing sense of despair. From the other side of the closed door, she could hear Tina's voice, dripping with condescension. "Whit, stop making those pointless calls. Dad has already made it clear that he won't let you out." Whitney's heart raced with indignation as Tina continued, "What's so special about Carter? Do you really believe that after breaking up with him, you'll find a better Klein to marry?

Trust me, you should be grateful instead of ending up with nothing." Whitney had long since given up wasting her breath on Tina's mindless drivel. The incessant chatter had become tiresome, like a relentless buzzing in her ears. When silence followed her lack of response, Tina smirked, convinced that Whitney had finally broken down in tears, and sauntered out of the room, reveling in her perceived victory. 'It's such a beautiful day,' Tina mused, her thoughts drifting toward a gathering with friends. 'Mom is right.

Instead of ruining Whitney and Carter's wedding, it's far more satisfying to watch Whitney marry someone who doesn't even care for her.' Meanwhile, Carter had taken Emily to see Sabrina, hoping for some reassurance. But Sabrina, with her usual no-nonsense demeanor, had sent them away. "Stop fretting over Emily and focus on your wedding in just three days," she had instructed, her tone brooking no argument. Emily turned to Carter, her face etched with concern. "Carter?" "It's alright," he reassured her, though doubt flickered in his eyes. "Tomorrow, I'll go see Uncle Klein.

I doubt even he would side with my dad on this." Emily hesitated, biting her lip. "But Carter, Uncle Klein doesn't seem to like me very much." "Milly, don't think like that," Carter said, attempting to soothe her worries. "Uncle Klein might come off as distant, but he's the one in our family who always adheres to the rules." In the Bennett family, aside from Grandpa, the only person Carter held in any regard was Klein.

Whenever Klein was around, the dinner table transformed into a model of order, as he often reminded everyone, "Don't talk while eating or sleeping." Though they were only seven years apart, Carter often felt as if Klein possessed a maturity that made him seem at least seventeen years older. Carter had once complained about why Grandpa favored Uncle Klein, designating him as the heir to the entire family empire, while his own father, despite years of dedication, remained in the shadows of his brother's success.

That conversation had led to a stern punishment; his father had locked him in a room and made him stand in silence for an hour. "Stop those thoughts you shouldn't be having. Don't waste your sympathy on me. If you have the courage, wait until you're grown and fight for it yourself. But as long as I'm here, I won't tolerate it," his father had snapped, leaving Carter with a deep understanding of his father's respect for Klein. As for fighting for his own place in the family, Carter lacked the nerve to pursue it. Emily, unaware of the depth of Carter's trust in Klein, pursed her lips.

"Maybe I'm just overthinking everything." "Exactly. Tomorrow, I'll head to the headquarters to find Uncle Klein. He'll convince my dad," he promised, a flicker of determination igniting within him. At nine o'clock, the two left the Harris Manor, but Whitney was nowhere to be found. Carter sneered, a bitter thought crossing his mind. 'See? Was it really that hard for her to admit she just wanted to marry me?' The memory of the slap she had delivered that morning ignited a fire of anger within him. Meanwhile, Samuel had a social engagement but was well aware of his wife's schemes.

He lingered in the corridor, dialing Laura's number. "Has that girl stopped causing trouble yet?" Laura, reclining against the headboard with a sly smile, replied, "Don't worry. I slipped her some medicine in the car. It's just to ensure she behaves. She probably can't walk more than a few steps right now. Her legs are still weak." "On the day of the wedding, I'll adjust the dosage to something milder. Samuel, trust me. The wedding will go off without a hitch," she assured him, her confidence unwavering. Just then, a voice interrupted him. "Mr.

Moore, what are you doing hiding out here in the breeze?" Laura's expression darkened at the sound of a sultry female voice. "Where are you entertaining tonight?" Samuel cleared his throat, his voice steady. "At the Royal Crest Club. Just a waitress passing by, Laura. Don't overthink it." He hung up without waiting for a response, leaving Laura wide awake, her curiosity piqued. She glanced at the time on her phone and quickly made another call. "Is Mr.

Moore at the Royal Crest Club right now?" Whatever the reply was, Laura's face hardened as she marched to her closet, changing into a more suitable outfit for a night out. As fate would have it, her car brushed past Klein's luxurious Maybach, which had just pulled up at the Moore residence. Klein, surveying the tightly shut front door, dialed Whitney's number. Whitney had just heard the sound of a car leaving the garage. Now, with only herself, a handful of servants, and bodyguards inside the villa, the moment felt ripe for escape. Just then, her phone rang.

She froze, staring at the screen, her heart racing as she recognized the rabbit avatar with red eyes. 'Why him?' she thought, caught off guard. "Hello, Mr. Harris," she answered, her voice steady despite the whirlwind of emotions inside her. "I'm outside your place. Which room are you in?" Klein's voice came through, firm yet reassuring. Whitney's heart raced. "Mr. Harris, you already know?" she asked, her anxiety creeping in. "Yeah," he replied curtly. "Lena told me. You still haven't told me where your room is." "Oh, Mr. Harris, you can come in from the back.

My room faces the back door of the villa, but there are two bodyguards downstairs keeping watch," she explained, urgency lacing her words. "Oh, Mr. Harris, hurry; one of the bodyguards just left. He probably went to the bathroom," she added, her hope rising. A faint smile broke across Klein's lips, a low chuckle escaping him. "Don't rush. Wait for me. I'm coming to save you." He bit back the words that threatened to spill, knowing that rescuing her felt like a debt he could never repay.

Whitney shook off her wandering thoughts, peering eagerly from behind the curtain at the lone guard downstairs. By some stroke of luck, the guard, who had been glancing up at her window, suddenly began jogging toward the front gate. Seizing the opportunity, Whitney flung open the window, her heart racing as she caught sight of Klein in the moonlight. Klein tilted his head back, a faint smile playing on his lips as he slowly opened his arms. "Dare to jump?" Whitney's heart raced as she nervously licked her dry lips, glancing down at the daunting drop.

It had to be at least twenty feet, two stories high. "Can you catch me?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Klein's brow lifted slightly, confidence radiating from him. "Yes." Though trepidation coursed through her veins, Whitney bit her lip, closed her eyes, and leaped into Klein's tall, outstretched embrace. His solid arms enveloped her, radiating warmth, and the lingering scent of sandalwood on his breath surrounded her like a comforting cocoon. Startled, she looked up at him, her voice rising with delight. "I did it, Mr.

Harris!" Klein's long lashes brushed against his eyelids as he smiled, a faint, elusive curve of his lips. "Yeah, I've got you," he said, his voice steady and reassuring. Conclusion In the tumultuous moments that followed Whitney's leap into Klein's waiting arms, a profound shift began to settle within her. The oppressive weight of isolation and despair, fueled by the relentless criticism from Tina and the dismissive attitude of her father, began to lift. In Klein's embrace, she found not just safety, but a burgeoning sense of hope.

The leap had not merely been a physical act of defiance against her circumstances; it symbolized her willingness to break free from the constraints that had long dictated her life. As she looked into Klein's eyes, she felt a flicker of possibility-an awakening to her own strength and the realization that she deserved more than the life that had been mapped out for her. For Carter, the events of the day had stirred a tempest of emotions, leaving him grappling with anger and confusion.

His bitterness towards Whitney's choices had clouded his judgment, but witnessing her boldness sparked a flicker of admiration within him. As he stood outside the villa, contemplating his next move, he recognized that the wedding he had been so eager to protect was now overshadowed by a deeper yearning for connection and understanding. The impending confrontation with Uncle Klein loomed, but in that moment, he began to question whether the path he had been following was truly his own.
