Darius turned, shooting Dawn a frosty look.Dawn merely scratched her head while holding back her laughter. “What? Did I cross a line? Don’t tell me there’s really nothing going on between you and Scarlett?”Darius’s voice dropped to a low chill. “Say another word, and you’ll regret it.”Dawn could no longer hold back her laughter and had to cover her mouth to keep any sound from escaping. “Alright, alright, I’ll be quiet. But now that you and Scarlett are on Alfonso’s team, you’ll probably be seeing each other often. You won’t be able to avoid her.”Darius didn’t react. Not a flicker.But Dawn’s curiosity still got the better of her, so she leaned closer. “Do you really not feel anything for her?”Darius slowly ran his finger along the rim of his wine glass, the soft clink of crystal breaking the quiet around them. After a few seconds, he removed the ring from his finger.The moment Dawn saw it, she immediately stood up and walked away.Dawn had known Darius for a long time. And when

Scarlett felt the sudden heat rise in her chest from irritation.How could Devine lie so effortlessly?Darius turned toward Devine. Her cheeks were flushed, and she looked genuinely embarrassed. There were so many questions troubling Darius's mind. “Why did you suddenly disappear after that night?”Devine fell silent for a moment, clearly thinking of an excuse. Then she smiled innocently. “I-I was scared... I didn't know who you were back then. I was afraid you'd blame me, or that my parents would find out. I thought it would be safer to keep... quiet.”Darius's voice softened slightly. “You don't have to be afraid. If you ever need anything, just tell me. I'll help however I can.”Devine's eyes lit up at his words. Her lips parted, but she stopped herself.Darius noticed the flicker of doubt in her gaze and frowned slightly. “If there's something on your mind, go ahead and say it.”Her heart thudded against her ribs. She decided to test the waters. “What if... I told you I wanted to

Everyone fell silent as they looked at Darius. His posture was effortless yet imposing, his hands tucked into his pockets. The expensive suit he wore only accentuated his strikingly handsome features. There was an authority in his presence that made you instinctively want to step back whenever he walked toward you.Scarlett slowly lifted her gaze, and their eyes met. She hadn’t expected Darius to defend her, especially not in front of so many people. She could feel everyone around them freeze, whispering among themselves but no one daring to interfere.Tobias noticed it as well. His jaw tightened, clearly angered. He was almost ready to rush over and pull Scarlett away from there, but Vernice caught him by the arm.“Don’t go. Don’t drag yourself into this,” she murmured, her tone sugary, her eyes sharp.Tobias closed his eyes, the tension in his jaw plainly visible. But he followed what his secretary told him and stayed out of it.Behind Darius stood his friend Dawn, also ready to def

Scarlett’s cheeks turned red from embarrassment. “I wouldn’t dare. Thank you, Darius, for letting me stay tonight.”Darius glanced at her, noticing her wet hair and the clothes clinging to her skin. “Go inside. Change your clothes right away so you don’t get sick.”Scarlett nodded. “Thank you again.” She dipped her head and quietly slipped into one of the rooms, the soft thud of the door echoing faintly down the hallway.Only after the door closed did Darius finally release the breath he had been holding. His eyes had unintentionally lingered on Scarlett’s clothes, the outline of her bra faintly visible beneath her blouse, which had been soaked through by the rain.A little while later, Greg came inside. He hurried over to tell Darius what he had learned. “Sir, I found out that the reason she was out there alone was because she had an argument with her husband. Apparently, Ma’am Scarlett was so mad with Sir Tobias that she got out of the car herself. He didn’t even try to stop her and

Scarlett’s ears remained trained on the voices speaking outside. It wasn’t her sister Devine’s voice. Her mind spun with a quiet thrill—the kind that came from accidentally overhearing someone else's drama, the sort that made the mundane tick a little faster.She had no idea that women came to see Darius at this hour. And judging by the voices coming from the balcony, there weren’t just one but two women there, still searching for Darius, who was hiding here with her.Darius pulled her behind the balcony door, shielding her with a practiced calm. The light fell across her face, making the curiosity and slight excitement in her expression almost glow.He let go of her for a moment and raised a hand, signaling for her to stay quiet.Scarlett gave a barely perceptible nod, barely daring to breathe as she obeyed.A few moments later, the two women finally left when they failed to find Darius there. Their footsteps gradually faded until they could no longer hear them. Silence settled over
