  Triggee Warning marked with ### and ##### again similar to previous chapter... proceed with caution---When they arrived at the hospital, the corridor was already crowded with members of the Vanderbilt family. Their faces were drawn, tense, each carrying a silent dread. The news of what had happened to Rita had traveled fast within their circle, but no one dared speak it aloud. An oppressive hush filled the waiting area, heavy enough to crush even the faintest whisper.If word of this incident leaked beyond these walls, Rita’s reputation would be shattered.Diana let out a weary sigh, her shoulders drooping. “Why would Rita go there all of a sudden?”Alexander shook his head, jaw tense. “The kidnappers are finished. They won’t be around to talk. I’ll arrange for her to see a psychologist.”It was all they could do for now.Moments later, Rita’s parents, Justin and his wife, arrived. Their expressions were unsettlingly calm, as if this was just another business inconvenience. Justin,

A gunman abruptly fired several shots into the ceiling, sending a deafening crack echoing through the mall. Chaos exploded like a powder keg. People screamed, their voices tangled with panic, some collapsing to the floor in sobbing fits of terror.Ava forced herself to stay calm as she scanned the scene. Dozens of armed men emerged from the shadows, shedding their street clothes

  The next morning, Ava had barely gotten out of bed when Ray messaged, asking her to come by the office to check the final cut of their new web series.Shoving aside everything else on her mind, she quickly got ready and headed over.Only the first five episodes were finished, but the production quality blew her away. Even though she’d given Ray a generous budget, she hadn’t expected him to execute it so flawlessly.“Ms. Morales,” Ray said, his voice brimming with excitement, “we’ve already submitted it for review. Once we get the green light, we can go live.”They hadn’t even started hyping it yet, since Anita was still busy flooding the headlines with stories about The Eye of the Storm.Ava’s lips curved into a subtle smile. “The quality is solid. Let’s wait for their approval.”Ray nearly vibrated with adrenaline. His first web series since his comeback was finally about to see the light of day, and he could barely contain his enthusiasm.“Oh—and one more thing, Ms. Morales.” His to

  After Alexander left, Ava slumped against the back of the leather seat, completely spent. Her limbs felt weak, as though they’d been drained of every ounce of strength. The interior of the car still carried the heat of their passion, his scent clinging to the air, making her cheeks flush all over again. The subtle tremors running through her body hadn’t yet faded.She tugged at her rumpled dress, trying to compose herself before stepping out. As soon as she opened the car door, a blast of cold night air struck her, snapping her back to reality — reminding her, almost shamefully, that they had just been reckless in a car parked barely a stone’s throw from the villa.She let out a soft groan, covering her face with a hand for a moment before gathering herself and walking toward the villa entrance. A servant opened the door politely. Ava didn’t recognize the staff here very well, so she simply nodded in greeting and quietly climbed the stairs to the master bedroom.She’d broken into a swe

  Vincent picked up the call.Marilyn’s voice was weak, brittle, almost unrecognizable. “Vincent, I feel terrible.”He guessed right away — it was probably her period again, and she was in agony.“Go lie down and rest. I’m working late, I’ll be home later,” he replied, his tone clipped, distracted.Marilyn was drenched in sweat, her vision swimming, her stomach turning in nauseous waves that wouldn’t let her vomit. For weeks she had pushed herself too hard, desperate to pay down the debt crushing her. She hadn’t rested in what felt like forever.Just then, May approached Vincent with an expectant look, so he hurriedly wrapped up the call.“Marilyn, take a painkiller. My boss is coming. If he sees me on the phone, he’ll be pissed,” he added before hanging up, giving her no chance to say another word.Marilyn bit her lip, tears of exhaustion and humiliation welling. Usually strong-willed, she now found herself gripping the steering wheel with trembling hands. She could hardly see through t

  Alexander was so furious his hands trembled, aching to unleash the same brutality on her that he’d shown those men in the elevator the night before. But he knew he couldn’t — not with her.Did he really never like Ava before? That was hard to believe, even for him.Half an hour later, Ava’s calm voice broke through his swirling thoughts.“Mr. Vanderbilt, I made smoothie bowl with muesli, banana, and some berries. Come have some.”To Alexander, her words felt like a poisoned apple offered by an evil queen.He was still wearing last night’s white dress shirt, rumpled and stained with exhaustion, the suit jacket and polished shoes from before long since gone.Ava set down a steaming bowl on the table and smiled faintly when he walked in. “Eat while it’s warm.”He probably hadn’t eaten at all since whatever business had dragged him to that hotel, she guessed. Knowing he had chronic stomach problems, some smoothie bowl was the only thing in the house she could prepare.Alexander sat down, h
