Heatherway had always thought she understood Wayne well and that she would eventually manipulate him using this knowledge. He was a man driven by his interests and would do anything to achieve his goals. Ever since he agreed to the arranged marriage, she breathed a sigh of relief and stopped worrying, even with Rosalynn in the picture. She believed Wayne would never give up the arranged marriage.
