Just then, his phone lit up. It was Xena calling.He had almost forgotten that he had come here to talk her into going home. He immediately headed toward her booth.The moment Xena saw him, she smiled. Under the wash of colored light, her cheeks were lightly flushed, her eyes half-lidded, and there was a soft, fragile air about her that came with being a little drunk. Her lips curved into a smile as she looked at him.“Hayden, you’re here.”Just as Hayden sat down, he happened to glance in Sera’s direction. She had gotten to her feet and was looking his way, and his whole body instantly tensed.She had only looked at him once, but that single glance made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.“Xena, stop drinking. I’m taking you home,” Hayden said at once, trying to do what any friend should.Xena laughed softly. “I asked you to come drink with me, and the first thing you do is tell me to go home?”“Didn’t Felix tell you not to drink? Why are you drinking at all?” Ha

“Lily, I don’t need you here anymore. You should head back first,” Xena said, picking up her phone.“How can I leave when you’re like this?”“Someone’s coming to keep me company.” Xena scrolled through her screen.“You mean Mr. Harris?” Lily’s eyes lit up. She knew perfectly well what Xena’s backup plan was.If she couldn’t become Mrs. Gibson, then becoming Mrs. Harris was still a position plenty of women would fight for.Felix might be out of her grasp, but Hayden was completely wrapped around her finger. His feelings for Xena were so obvious it was practically one step away from openly fighting Felix for her.Xena dialed Hayden’s number.“Hello? Xena, what’s wrong?” Hayden’s voice came through with a smile.“I... had a little too much to drink, and I’m feeling dizzy. Can you come pick me up?”“What? I thought you couldn’t drink. Why are you drinking?”“I was just in a bad mood, so I had a couple of drinks. I’m at a bar.”“You’re at a bar by yourself?” Hayden sounded clearl

Hearing that familiar deep voice on the other end, Xena suddenly laughed. She let out a soft, flirtatious laugh. “And then what? What are you going to do to me?”Felix’s voice stayed flat and emotionless. “Stop what you’re doing.”Xena’s laugh turned mocking. “I thought you didn’t need me anymore. If that’s true, why do you still care what I do?”“Our arrangement is not over yet.” Felix’s voice remained calm, carrying a quiet authority that left no room for argument. “Don’t test my limits.”Xena laughed again, this time with a note of smugness. “Your limits? So you do still need me, don’t you? You still want to control me.”It was as if she had grabbed back a little control. And with the alcohol already in her system, even his cold voice still sounded dark and dangerously appealing to her. Biting her lip, she said, “Beg me, Felix. Beg me to stay alive, and I’ll keep your mom alive for you. Otherwise...” Her voice darkened. “Believe me, I’ll die right in front of you. I don’t min

As she reached the door, Sienna still couldn’t help adding, “Felix and my whole family owe you our thanks.”Miranda didn’t respond. She simply sat back down at her computer and turned her attention to the newly collected data on the screen.Sienna quietly closed the door behind her, her emotions in a knot.If even she felt this awful, how much worse would it be for Felix if he ever realized Miranda had truly let him go?For now, all she could do was the little bit she was able to do. Beyond that, there was nothing more she could help with.*Night fell.At the bar, Xena sat alone in a corner booth. She took a picture of the table covered in drinks and sent it to Felix.“Felix, if you still care about me, come find me. Otherwise, I’ll drink every single one of these.”After sending the message, Xena stared at her phone screen, waiting for Felix to react right away.Just like every other time before, his call should have come immediately. Whether he was trying to talk her down,

Sienna waited patiently outside the lab. The nurses passing by couldn’t help finding it strange. She was supposed to be resting in her room, yet she kept sitting outside Miranda’s lab.Just then, the heavy lab door swung open, and a rush of cold air spilled out. Sienna looked up and saw Miranda step out with her usual graceful composure. She quickly got to her feet.“Miranda.”Miranda looked at her and frowned slightly. “Do you need something?”“Are you heading back to your office?”“Yes.”“There’s something I want to talk to you about,” Sienna said quickly.Miranda glanced at her, said nothing, and headed toward her office.Sienna hurried after her. She waited until Miranda had washed her hands and returned to her desk before walking up and placing her phone on the desktop.“Miranda, I know that no matter what I say now, you probably won’t believe me. And I know the hurt Felix and I caused you can’t be made up for with a few apologies.” Sienna’s expression was earnest and hea

Xena drew a deep breath, her voice thick with bitterness and resentment as she went on. “I fell for Felix the very first time I saw him. I knew someone like me wasn’t worthy of him, so I worked myself to the bone. I made myself better, more accomplished, all so that one day I might finally be good enough for him. But Miranda? All she did was take care of him for a year while he was in a coma, and she got to marry him. Why? Just because of that little bit of kindness?”Xena seemed to realize she was losing her composure, but she couldn’t stop herself from pouring out all the grievance she had kept inside.“She used that favor to force him into marrying her, and just like that, she got everything I had dreamed of. How is that fair? Sienna, if it were you, what would you have done? You loved Leo too. You know what it feels like to have him stolen by Miranda. You should understand me.”Sienna watched her vent with cold eyes. She puffed out her cheeks slightly before speaking, “But even

“Don’t worry. I’ll have someone keep an eye on the driver. If anything comes up, I’ll let you know,” Leo said gently. He added, “You should also ask Keith to arrange a few people to watch over your daily travel, just to be safe.”“Alright. I’ll have him bring in security,” Miranda agreed. It was

“Vivian is having dinner at my place tonight. What would you like to eat? I can bring something back for you,” Miranda asked.Leo gave her a small smile. “Anything is fine, but the doctor suggested I keep things light.”“There’s a small cafe next to the hospital, and they make really good chicken

Miranda closed the window, started the engine, and drove away without giving Xena a single glance.As her car disappeared, Fiona came walking out of the lobby with her bag. She opened the door of Xena’s Ferrari and settled into the passenger seat.“I just ran into Miranda,” Xena said as she starte

The smile on Miranda’s face faded. She turned away, looking elsewhere.Leo let out a quiet laugh. “I was just praising her for smoothing things over with your shareholders.”Felix’s gaze shifted to Miranda’s profile, his expression cooling. “It was impressive.”A brief, heavy silence fell between
