That night, the house was unusually quiet. There was no sign of Mabel, no barking from Meatloaf, not even the usual smart lights flicking on.
Anneliese called out twice. “Meatloaf p>
Silence. She instinctively turned to the man behind her. “Did Mabel take Meatloaf out for a walk p>
He didn’t answer. The only sound was a bag landing on the cabinet. A moment later, his hands closed firmly around her waist.
“Ah!” She let out a small gasp as he lifted her onto the low cabinet by the entryway.
He stepped closer, resting his forehead against hers.
The front door clicked shut, cutting off the hallway light. Darkness filled the entryway, and her heart skipped a beat.
In the dimness, his warm breath brushed against her skin. His voice came low and rough.
“I told Mabel to take Meatloaf home p>
Her heartbeat quickened. She instinctively pushed at his shoulder. “You… What are you p>
This is getting out of hand! The place is enormous. Even if we want some privacy, Meatloaf could stay.
“Tonight’s just for us,” he said.
Everything had been planned. No one and nothing would interrupt. He’d reached his limit- one more day of restraint and he’d start turning into a monk.
Before she could react, he tilted her chin up. His kisses fell like raindrops-on her trembling lashes, her cheeks, the tip of her nose-before finally finding her lips.
Then he suddenly paused, his voice hot and gritty.
“Baby, I’m the one who can’t wait. I’ll give you one last chance to say no. You p>
Before he could finish, her hands slid from his shoulders to loop around his neck. She tilted her head and kissed him first.
“Are you going to do it or not? Quit talking so p>

She didn’t get to finish. His lips crashed into hers like a lit fuse, wild and hungry.

With one arm, he lifted her straight off the cabinet. She clung to him, fingers threading through his thick, slightly coarse hair. His kiss didn’t stop, swallowing her startled cries.
Her eyes fluttered shut, every sense sharpening. The sound of him rummaging through the plastic bag roared in her ears. He grabbed what he needed and moved quickly. The shopping bag tipped over, snacks scattering across the floor, but neither of them cared.
He carried her through the mess and into the bedroom, kicking the door shut with a bang.
The living room fell silent. The night had only just begun. Inside, things were heating up.
Meanwhile, Selina was anxiously waiting. She finally received the DNA test results.
She flipped straight to the last page. The moment her eyes landed on the result, her pupils contracted, and excitement lit up her face.
She tucked the report into her purse, jumped into her car, and sped toward the White estate.
At the same time, in a private club room, Perseus and Christopher sat red-faced, downing liquor straight from the bottle.
A dozen men and women lounged on the nearby couch. The lighting was hazy, and the air was thick with the mix of alcohol and perfume. All eyes were on the White brothers, watching as if it were a show.
News of White Inc.’s broken cash flow had spread quickly after the police took Timothy into custody. Everyone in their circle knew. The investigation into Timothy and Mikita had become the latest gossip.
The brothers no longer expected a financial rescue. They had come to this gathering hoping to sell off parts of White Inc. at low prices, just to secure some funds before bankruptcy-maybe enough to stage a comeback in the future.
Many of the people in the room had once called them brothers and showered them with flattery. Now, the same people watched with mocking, scornful, or pitying eyes. They couldn’t even speak until they finished their bottles.
Bang!

Perseus finally drained his bottle and slammed it on the table. He turned to Luke Doyle, the man lounging in the center of the couch, a woman on each arm.
“Mr. Doyle, I’ve finished the bottle. Can we talk about the deal now p>
