How could she possibly be an extortionist?" Georgia shrieked, shielding her daughter.Angela joined in, pleading, "Exactly! We're just low-level wolves. How would we even dare mess with people in power?""The other party has provided a complete chain of evidence, including past transfer records and threatening messages," the officer said, pulling out cold metal handcuffs. "Whether or not you broke the law is for the interrogation room to decide."Samantha's world imploded.Who? Who wanted her dead only two days after her return?In her desperation, she grabbed Georgia's collar and hissed, "Go... find Thomasina. Tell her to use her pack connections to get me out!"Monday morning. Top floor of the Ironthorn Group, CEO's office.Humphrey knocked and entered. Due to his years of security work, his footsteps were

Third Person's POVGeorge was stuck between a rock and a hard place. His face was pale as he helped his mother up. "Mom, this is on you... I told you that Alpha wasn't someone to mess with, but you insisted Samantha lie to him. Now the truth is out. Not only are we getting zero cash, we're all going to rot in prison!""That damn Cassian..." Georgia's hands shook as she gripped her son's arm, a final flicker of madness in her eyes. "I never thought he'd dig this deep... George, hurry! Call your Aunt Thomasina! She's always loved Samantha like her own pup. She'll find a way to bury this!"3:00 PM. Top floor of the Ironthorn Group, CEO's office.Humphrey knocked and entered, placing two gold-trimmed invitations firmly on Cassian's desk."Alpha Cassian, there is a charity gala coming up. It's officially for charity, but the hosts specifically invited you to bring Wynn so they could introduce her to their son."As he spoke, Wynn pushed the door o

Third Person's POVCassian glanced down at the check and let out a cold laugh. "You really think I'm doing this for the money?""Of course not. This is just a small gesture for the... emotional distress you've dealt with.""Fine." Cassian finally gave in. "Since you're willing to give up territory for a 'friend,' I'll give you this win."After Edwin left, Humphrey looked baffled. "Sixty million out of his own pocket plus giving up land, all for an outsider? Since when did Edwin become a saint?"Cassian let out a sharp scoff. "He's not saving Samantha. He's saving his own dirty secret."Back at his desk, Cassian opened his phone again.By now, Trista should be busy at the healing center.He hesitated, typing and deleting several times, before finally sending a short text.In his past life, every time he coldly left LA for a business trip, Trista was the one staring at her phone, suffering through the silence.Now,

Third Person's POVThat same night, Samantha grabbed her toddler and left with Thomasina without looking back.Watching their retreating figures, the smile on Angela's face vanished instantly, and she spat toward the door."If I didn't know better," Angela snapped at her husband and mother-in-law, "I'd think Samantha was Thomasina's secret love child!"At 10:00 PM, Thomasina brought the mother and son to the top floor of a high-end beauty spa she owned."Samantha," Thomasina said, pushing open the door to a luxury suite. "This spa is my private property. I usually use this place for naps or meeting clients. It's quiet, and the Simmons family's spies can't get in. You and the boy can stay here for now."Samantha gripped Thomasina's sleeve like a lifeline. "Auntie, I've completely offended Cassian. I can't go back to France, and that bastard Ainsley has people looking for me. What am I supposed to do? My life is ruined."Thomasina sighe

Third Person's POVCassian squeezed the shopping bags in his hands so hard his knuckles turned white.Watching Xander take such perfect care of her—booking her into the closest hotel, flying over just to go shopping with her, and even dropping to one knee in front of everyone without a second thought—slammed a bitter truth right into his chest.That was a level of decency and respect he had never given her during those three years in the prison they called a "marriage."Even an Alpha like Xander, who had zero dating experience, understood loyalty, favoritism, and a wife's dignity.Yet Cassian, in his past life, had just stood by and let Samantha trample all over Trista's boundaries time and time again."I don't deserve her," Cassian muttered. He leaned heavily against the car door, hunching over as a sharp, crushing ache rippled from his chest through his entire body, making it hard to breathe.He didn't deserve her love. He didn't even deserve the chance to say sorry.At 2:00 PM, Tri
