Stefan pulled away from Dorothy only after she was breathless. He watched as she tried to catch her breath, and once she was halfway done, he spoke.

"I wasn't lying when I told you I loved you earlier," he said.

Dorothy didn’t reply. She just watched him as she struggled to breathe.

"I'm a very jealous man. I'm selfish, and I'm a gatekeeper when it comes to you. Love, I can't share you, and I really tried my best, but I can't stand Finn," he confessed.

"Stefan, that's my dad!" Dorothy called ou

    After getting the call from Stefan, Dorothy decided to fly back to Los Angeles to see her mother. She had so many mixed feelings about this. All this time, she never really knew what it felt like to grow up without a mother’s care. She believed hers had died a long time ago… but life has a way of throwing the unexpected at you.“Breathe,” Chole said softly, noticing Dorothy having some kind of nervous breakdown on their way to LA.“I don’t know, Chole… she’s been through quite a lot. What if she’s not happy to see me? I mean, I’m the reason she—”“Bah, bah, bah.” Chole hushed her quickly. “We’ve agreed not to say things like that anymore. Everything happened because it happened. None of it was your fault.”Dorothy pressed her lips together and nodded.“None of it was my fault,” she repeated, almost as if reminding herself. She had been saying this anytime she felt bad about herself during her time in Barbados, and it really helped.“You have arrived at your destination,” the pilot ann

    After the incident, a few days had passed. Clarissa was not just arrested — it was discovered she had mental health issues, and she was taken to a psychiatrist. She would receive full punishment as soon as she got better.As for Lorenzo, the police uncovered many evil businesses he had been running underground. They decided it was best to execute him. They also discovered he worked with Tasha and Tristan, which led to their arrest as well.The search for Dorothy’s mother was still ongoing. Many of Lorenzo’s men who had been captured by the police were being interrogated to make them talk.Meanwhile, as for Dorothy — after everything that had happened, she wasn’t herself and wasn’t feeling well. She’d been on medication, with Stefan and Harrison keeping a close eye on her.“Good news, Stefan. The baby is doing okay, and she’s finally in good shape. Just make sure she’s not overworked or stressing herself. If she needs anything, provide it immediately,” Harrison advised.“Thank you,” St

    Beatrice hugged the kids tightly as they returned.“It’s okay, don’t be afraid. You’re safe now. No one is going to hurt you anymore. They won’t find you here. Your dad has gone to get the bad man arrested,” she said gently, trying to calm them.They gave the children ice cream to help ease the trauma.After the kids fell asleep, Beatrice sat down with Chole and Kristin. “Stefan and Levi are there alone. Somehow their plan got messed up, and they couldn’t go through with it without help. I’m really scared for them,” she said, her worry etched all over her face.She had been part of their lives when they were broken because of the same man who now had them.“You know what’s worse? Dorothy is there with them. My poor girl—she’s going to be so scared,” Chole mumbled, her voice trembling with sympathy.“I know they didn’t want to get the police involved, but shouldn’t we do it behind their backs?” Kristin suggested.“But we don’t know where they are,” Beatrice said.“Griffin, who brought

    “Mr. Stefan, everything is ready. Weapons loaded, guards in position,” Griffin reported as they stepped into Harrison’s place.“Good. We’ll move at midnight, when he least expects it,” Stefan replied.The plan was simple—break into Lorenzo’s place, rescue the kids, and end it all in one strike. That way, Dorothy wouldn’t have to be involved, and her life would be out of danger.He took a steadying breath as he approached the room where Dorothy had been admitted. Twisting the doorknob, he stepped inside—only to find the bed empty.The drip and oxygen mask lay discarded on the mattress and floor. A faint, familiar cologne lingered in the air.Two things had happened.“She went to meet Lorenzo… and Levi helped her escape,” Griffin said grimly.“F*ck!” Stefan didn’t think twice—he bolted from the room.Griffin had no choice but to follow, grabbing his phone from his belt and calling the guards.Clarissa washed her tear-stained face. The police had found her mother’s body, but she had no i

    Clarissa arrived at Agnes’s place. She hadn’t visited in a while, and Agnes looked a little surprised—almost startled—to see her.“Baby, how are you feeling?” Agnes asked softly.“I need to know everything,” Clarissa muttered, making Agnes give her a puzzled look.“Don’t f*cking act confused, Mom. Start telling me the truth. What’s the deal with Dorothy?”“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”“You do, Mom. I heard Dorothy has a real family. Her father is dangerous—super dangerous—and all this time you kept her here to protect her.” Clarissa’s voice shook. Agnes let out a deep, weary sigh.“So you did love her after all… and yet you made me believe everything that happened was her fault. You poisoned my mind against her,” Clarissa cried.“Everything I did was to protect everyone,” Agnes said, her eyes glistening.“I feel so awful. I’m about to become a mother, and I have nothing good to show for it. What do I even tell my baby? That my own mother raised me to believe that if

    Stefan's eyes burned with heat as he watched her. She sat in front of him, legs spread, fingers inside her. He watched as she worked her fingers in and out. His bulge grew visibly larger, and he massaged it through his pants to keep himself sane.Dorothy moaned louder, her eyes focused on Stefan. T

    A knock sounded on Chloe's door, and she opened it with frustration. Seeing Griffin’s face almost made her slam it shut again, but he held it firmly, preventing her from doing so."I wanted to ask how your first day at work went," Griffin said."You're a scam, Griffin! You told me the pay was huge,

    He was tall and dressed in an exceptionally dark suit. His skin was the palest Chole had ever seen, but it only enhanced his striking appearance—especially the silver lip ring that stood out against his complexion."Hi there," he spoke with a slight smile. He probably thought it looked friendly, bu

    Dorothy was speechless—Stefan’s proposal caught her off guard. First Lady of his company? There was no time to process what was happening.
