Seraphina Vance's shrill, bitter wails faded into the distance. Raelynn Ortiz knew exactly what awaited the other woman. Stripped of all her protection, Seraphina faced multiple charges. She would likely spend the rest of her life paying for her crimes. The sheer magnitude of her fall from grace would make her existence a living hell—a fate far worse than death.
Tristan Croix's sudden appearance had shielded Raelynn. He gripped her shoulders, his gaze sweeping over her to ensure she was unharmed, before letting out a massive sigh of relief.
Sebastian Croix cast a cool, indifferent glance their way.
Raelynn shook her head. "I'm fine. Thank you."
"You scared me half to death," Tristan exhaled, then looked at Sebastian with a complicated expression. "Don't worry, Sebastian. I got here just in time. Raelynn isn't hurt."
Sebastian lifted his gaze. "Right. But you should prioritize your own safety."
"It was an emergency. I didn't have time to think," Tristan replied, seeing nothing wrong with his actions. "I'd rather take a hit than see Raelynn get hurt."
Sebastian's tone was flat. "True. You two do have a long history together."
It was an undeniable fact. Raelynn and Tristan had been close friends since high school, practically growing up together. Yet, Raelynn couldn't shake the feeling that Sebastian's words carried a hidden edge. She searched his face, but his expression remained perfectly unreadable, as if he had merely made a passing comment.
"Protecting her is a given," Tristan smiled, though his expression quickly sobered. "Sebastian, about the Second Branch... I'm shocked."
In the blink of an eye, the entire dynamic of the family had shifted. He was stunned that the Second Branch's intricate schemes had completely backfired. Following this debacle, their operatives at headquarters would undoubtedly be purged. The Second Branch's foundation was about to be entirely uprooted. They had brought it upon themselves, but it was easy to imagine what the corporate landscape would look like moving forward—and who would hold the ultimate power.

No, no, no! Sebastian needs to nip the Zella situation and win Raelynn back! Also, Leo, he is a wildcard for Sebastian's master plan... Sebastian- we know you know, what we know, win your family back!...
I thought now Sebastian and Raelynn will be together now that seraphina is not but you are not letting them to be. Two new female around Sebastian 😭...
I think Ian is sly. He is not what he seems. Sebastian loves Raelyn and they have a daughter together. Besides he has no family to even take care of him. I feel Raelyn should realise that Sebastian is only her true love and go back to him....
