The next morning, Mason stood by his car with Griffin, his hands in his pants pockets, watching as the guards searched for the basement key.

"So incompetent. Mr. Stefan just left you people with one job!" Kai said, shaking his head in disappointment.

The guards had no idea how to explain what had happened. They had all strangely fallen asleep and could only hope that the lady was still in the basement, or else Stefan would not take kindly to them.

One of the guards spotted the key on the floor, his face lighting up with happiness. "I found it!" he exclaimed, picking it up and rushing to open the door. As the door swung open, the guards began coughing.

They pushed through the dust, their smiles fading when they found Emily lying lifeless on the ground. Her body looked shriveled and dried up.

The guards murmured in confusion. None of them had received an order from Stefan to kill anyone, so they wondered who had done it. Meanwhile, Stefan looked up, troubled, watching from where he stoo

    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
