Let’s go.” Cole patted Ethan’s shoulder. “If we don’t leave now, the reporters will be here.”

The head of Bayview and the heir to the Hale family-either of those titles was enough for the media to fabricate a scandal if they heard the police were called for him at the beach late at night.

Ethan stood up, his black shirt billowing in the wind. When he stood facing the breeze, the fabric clung tightly to

his lean waist.

“Thank you for your hard work. We’re heading back now.”

He turned and walked toward the shore without looking back.

There were no taxis in this area, so the officers did them a final favor and drove Ethan and Cole back.

After stepping out of the police car, Ethan draped his coat over his shoulders and walked straight into his villa.

Cole followed behind, suddenly breaking into a laugh.

“Mia really is something else.”

Before his laughter even faded, the door slammed shut with a loud “thud.

Cole jumped slightly, his nose stopping just an inch from the wood.

“The Gallaghers are coming tomorrow! I’ll contact you then!” he shouted through the door before leaving.

After the police dropped Ethan off, they gave Mia a call.

“Thank you,” Mia said to the officer. “This matter involves Mr. Hale’s reputation. I hope you can keep this

confidential.”

“If anything happened to Mr. Hale on our watch, we’d be held responsible. Thank you for the tip, Miss Carter,” the officer replied, understanding the situation.

After hanging up, Mia sent a message to Stella to let her know she could relax, then she headed back to the dining

table.

By then, Jaxon was wasted. He was slamming the table and ranting about all the “unethical” things Ethan had done over the years.

“Alright, that’s enough. Toby needs to sleep. Let’s call it a night.” Mia walked over and began clearing the table.

“Don’t touch that.” Nina stood up and pushed Mia away. “Take this ‘Great Lord’ out of here. Leave the rest to Clara and me. Just go.”

Whatever nonsense Jaxon had been spouting had clearly annoyed Nina to no end.

Mia grabbed Jaxon by the arm. “Come on, let’s go.”

Jaxon stumbled to his feet. “I’m telling the truth! Ethan is afraid of me! He’s really afraid of me!”

“Yes, yes, he’s terrified of you.”

Mia half-humored and half-coaxed him until they left the house.

After getting Jaxon home, he immediately passed out on the sofa. Mia covered him with a throw blanket and headed back to her own apartment.

She washed up and crawled into bed. Just as the room fell into a peaceful silence, her phone chimed.

In the quiet night, the sound was startlingly clear.

It was a text message.

The weak glow of the screen provided a sliver of light in the pitch-black bedroom.

Before Mia even saw the content, her heart skipped a beat. She picked up the phone and opened the message.

Ethan: [Did you call the police?]

Mia: [The nights in Everett are quite cold and the wind by the sea is strong. You have a busy schedule, Mr. Hale; you should look after your health.]

It was a tacit admission.
