After dinner, they checked into the hotel’s suite floor.They booked two rooms, right across from each other.Stellar said a quick goodnight and headed into her suite early.She hadn’t had time to update her novel while traveling, so she opened her laptop and began typing. Barely an hour in, there was a knock on the door.Frowning, she got up and walked over. The moment she opened the door, her eyes widened.In the hallway stood Stephen, wearing nothing but a loosely tied robe. The collar hung slightly open, revealing his defined collarbone and toned chest.His hair was still damp, droplets of water trailing down from his shoulders across his skin in a way that was far too distracting.Stellar swallowed hard without thinking.“You… what’s going on?”“The shower broke,” Stephen said, a touch of innocence in his gaze. “Mind if I borrow yours?”The scene felt oddly familiar.A few months ago, back in Mary’s old courtyard house in Southport, something similar had happened—only the roles

In the crowd, Stellar’s eyes sharpened, her brows tightly furrowed.“You noticed it too?” Stephen’s low voice brushed against her ear, his breath warm and close enough to graze her earlobe.A shiver ran down her spine. She forced herself to stay composed and gave a subtle nod.On stage, Jack grew increasingly animated. Stellar took a deep breath, straightened her back, and broke through the noise with a clear voice.“Excuse me, may I interrupt for a moment?”The room fell silent. Jack’s speech came to an abrupt halt. “Miss, do you have a question?”“Mr. Greyson, you mentioned the system was ready to be launched. But based on the data you presented, there’s no way it can deliver the level of encryption you promised. "Once released, user privacy would be entirely exposed. With a flaw this serious unresolved, how can you even talk about profits?”Her words hit like a hammer.The room was still for a few seconds before erupting into murmurs. The investors began whispering among themse

Stephen and Stellar exchanged a look of silent understanding, neither of them denying it.It was a risky move.His identity alone was a powerful deterrent, and at the same time, a catalyst.The more fear and tension there was, the easier it became to expose cracks.Victor clenched his fists tightly.He couldn’t believe Suzy had gotten involved with someone like this.Damn it.He needed to speed things up.“Since Mr. Ward was the one who recommended it, then I suppose there’s nothing to worry about,” Victor said with a polished smile. “In that case, I’ll accompany my wife to the clinic. Aiden, you stay and take good care of Mr. Ward and his companion.”Aiden caught on immediately, his face lighting up with enthusiasm. “Mr. Ward, I’ve heard so much about you. It’s truly an honor to meet you in person here in Riverdale. May I treat you both to a meal?”“No,” Stephen replied coolly. “I have other matters to attend to shortly.”Aiden’s expression faltered for a second.Stellar glanced at

Just as Suzy was lost in thoughts of a hopeful future, a sudden bang jolted her back to reality.Something had slammed hard into the rear of the car.She slammed on the brakes instinctively.Sylvia was thrown forward with the impact, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.For a few moments, all Suzy could hear was her own heartbeat, then her panicked voice broke through. “Mom, are you okay? Are you hurt?”Sylvia held her head, her voice a little hoarse. “I’m fine... just a bit dizzy. What happened?”Seeing that her mother wasn’t seriously injured, Suzy finally breathed a sigh of relief.She turned back and looked at the vehicle that had crashed into them, then flung open the door and stormed out. She marched up to the driver’s side and knocked hard on the window. “Get out! You hit someone and think you can just sit there and play dead? Get out here!”The door creaked open slowly.A figure stepped out.The moment she saw his face, Suzy’s eyes widened in shock. “You?!”“Oh? Miss Walsh, it’s

"What a coincidence! So, you and Stellar already know each other. If I’d known, I would’ve introduced you much earlier." Stephen’s smile was polite, but his eyes were sharp.Ryan blinked in surprise. "So, this is the friend you mentioned… You two..." His gaze flicked back and forth between them, a hint of curiosity in his eyes."My relationship with Stellar runs a little deeper than you might think," Stephen said smoothly.Since he couldn’t come right out and say it yet, he figured he’d leave it vague, let people draw their own conclusions.Ryan took the hint, thoughtful."Ahem..." Stellar let out an awkward cough and quickly shifted the topic. "Anyway, Dr. Long, it’s not me who needs a consult—it’s a friend’s mother. I was wondering if you had any time available?""For most people, I’d have to check my schedule. But for you, no need to ask," Ryan replied, the words warm and easy.Stellar couldn’t help but smile. Now that was the kind of emotional intelligence a good psychiatris

Sally and her parents looked increasingly unsettled as Stellar pressed on, her tone razor-sharp."Of course, you can keep denying it if you want. But the truth is, all those private messages and recordings between your daughter and her boyfriend? "They’re traceable. And since you came here to extort money first, once Dr. Long calls the police, your whole family can look forward to jail time."Her words hit like a hammer.The girl crumbled on the spot, dropping to the floor with a sob. "I… I didn’t want to do this either... it was his idea... he made me do it..."Her parents stood frozen, as if struck by lightning. When they snapped out of it, they turned on her in a fit of rage."You ungrateful brat! You lied to us, dragged us into this mess just for some boy? You were ready to ruin your parents over him?"Stellar stood off to the side, watching with a cold gaze, finding the whole scene equal parts ridiculous and ironic.Sure, the girl was at fault, but were her parents truly innocen

"Pay at least twenty thousand, or we’ll make this dirty little secret public and ruin your reputation in the industry!"As the threat dropped, Stellar finally caught on to what was really going on.The room broke into a flurry of whispers.Everyone working here understood how highly regarded Ryan was in the field. A scandal like this, whether true or false, could ruin his reputation beyond repair.Speculation spread fast: Would he try to buy his way out?“Sally,” Ryan’s gaze suddenly shifted to the high school girl, calm and focused. “Look me in the eyes and say it again. Are you saying I assaulted you?”The girl’s expression twisted with panic. She couldn’t even meet his gaze.“Dr. Long, please don’t force me! Please, just let me go!” she cried out, voice choking up as if her words alone were enough proof.Watching her tremble, the onlookers’ doubt grew. Murmurs turned to judgment.“You’re still trying to silence my daughter?” the woman shouted furiously. “If you don’t pay up toda

She held him for a long while before finally letting go, only to notice the box in his arms.“What’s this?”“Something I saw while traveling. Just a small gift,” Stephen said casually, handing it over.It wasn’t until they got back to the car that Stellar opened it.Inside was a box of milk chocolates imported from Mayland.She’d mentioned her love for that flavor once during a random conversation. Yet he remembered.Even with how busy his trip must’ve been, he still thought of her and picked it up.She took one and popped it into her mouth. The silky texture and mellow sweetness melted on her tongue, spreading warmth straight to her heart.“How’s the taste?” he asked.A smile tugged at her lips. Without answering, she picked up another piece and held it out to him.“Try it yourself.”Stephen leaned in, taking the chocolate from her fingers with his mouth.As his tongue brushed the pad of her fingertip, a sudden jolt ran through her, like a spark firing down her spine.She flinched,

The most important thing now was to stabilize Sylvia’s condition, only then could they deal with their enemies without restraint.But when it came to treatment, they still hadn’t found a suitable doctor.Stellar was just considering whether to ask her uncle for help when her phone rang.It was from Stephen.She quickly excused herself from Suzy and Sylvia, stepping aside to answer.To her surprise, he told her he was already in Ravenshore."You’re here?" Stellar blinked. "Why did you suddenly come over?"He’d still been at the office during their video call this morning."I had a last-minute business trip," Stephen said casually. "Figured I’d drop by while I was here."But Stellar pressed her lips together.She knew he’d come for her.A gentle warmth bloomed in her chest—sweet with affection, tinged with a flicker of guilt."You really didn’t have to come all this way. It’s such a long trip."Stephen responded without missing a beat, voice steady as ever. "It’s not like I had to fly th
