“Dawn.”

No reaction.

Right now, Dawn felt as fragile as porcelain. She just wanted to stay still, as if that could keep

her safe.

Ethan didn’t want to scare her, so he slowly reached out and turned off the shower nearby.

The small bathroom finally felt a little warmer.

He bent down and crouched in front of her.

“What happened? Can you tell me? I’m back now.”

Dawn slowly lifted her eyelids to glance at him, then let them fall again.

Ethan’s heart shattered. He didn’t understand how someone who had seemed fine this morning could become like this in just one day. He didn’t ask again. Carefully, he picked her up and wrapped a bath towel around her.

Thankfully, Dawn didn’t resist. She didn’t speak, but she didn’t push him away either.

He dried her off, then helped her change clothes.

When he was done, he gently laid her on the bed. She closed her eyes immediately.

Ethan looked at her pale face. There was a storm behind her closed eyes.

After a while, the woman on the bed fell into a deep sleep.

He tucked in the blanket around her, then quietly got up and left the room.

Hannah wasn’t asleep yet. Seeing Ethan come down, she rushed over and asked, “How is she?”

“She’s asleep.”

“That’s good.”

Hannah let out a heavy sigh, but the worry on her face didn’t fade at all. “But how did this happen all of a sudden? Did something happen?”

Ethan glanced at the time. “Hannah, you might have to stay up a little longer. Keep an eye on her. I need to stop by the property office. Call me anytime if anything comes up.”

“Sure. Don’t worry, I’ve got things covered at home,” Hannah said.

She wouldn’t feel at case until she knew exactly what had happened.

At this hour, the staff at the property office had finished their shift change. Nothing important. was going on, and the security guard was dozing at the desk.

A sharp knock on the table made him jump.

“W–who… Mr. Jackson, do you need something?”

Ethan’s face was icy. “Tonight, pull up all the surveillance footage around my house.”

Since Hannah had heard voices, someone must have been there. Dawn had become so shaken and insecure after the incident.

When Roxanne’s face appeared on the footage, Ethan’s fury exploded. A cold, unstoppable anger swept through him.

He immediately called Tony’s number, his voice sharp. “Bring Roxanne to me. Right now.”

The night was pitch black, without a single star. Far away, a dog barked now and then, sounding lonely and eerie.

Each house in the neighborhood had its own basement. After walking through a dark hallway, they reached a medium–sized storage room with the light on.

Roxanne was tied up, her hands and feet bound, and tape over her mouth. Her eyes were full of terror.

Across from her, Ethan sat calmly.

He held a lighter in his hand, flicking it open and closed.

The repetitive motion, subtle but tense, made Roxanne even more nervous. Her mind raced in panic.

After a while, he spoke, low and even, “Roxanne, do you know why you’re here?”

“Mmph!”

Roxanne couldn’t speak. She just shook her head.

She could guess the reason, but she never thought Ethan would go this far–kidnapping her because of that woman. This was kidnapping!

“You should know I’m not very patient. I’ve warned you many times before, but you never listened. So now I had no choice but to bring you here to get some answers.”

Ethan’s long legs pressed against the floor. Sliding his chair forward, he closed the distance between them. With the lighter under her chin, his voice cold and steady, he said, “Tell me. What did you say to Dawn tonight?”

Roxanne couldn’t speak.

She looked at the man in front of her–the man she had once wanted more than anything.

But now…

All she felt was fear.

Ethan’s steady gaze lingered on her face for two seconds before he scoffed and leaned back slightly. “When you’re ready, just nod.”

Tears streamed down Roxanne’s face. She knew she had no choice. She also knew that as long as Dawn was around, Ethan would never spare her.

She nodded, and Tony immediately stepped forward, ripping the tape from her mouth with a sharp tear.

The rip made her wince in pain, and she glared at Tony, furious.

Tony chuckled. “Ms. West, long time no see.”

Roxanne remained silent.

She turned to Ethan, her eyes full of both love and hatred. After a long pause, she said in a hoarse voice, “Why don’t you ask what she did to me?”

Her forehead was still badly bruised from Dawn’s attack. A large red bruise covered her forehead. Even with medicine applied, it looked painful and scary.

Ethan glanced at her and smirked.

“Ms. West, you look pretty good. Besides…”

He raised an eyebrow. “If Dawn did something to you, shouldn’t you think about what you did to her first?”

Roxanne laughed through her anger. “So you mean anything Dawn does to me is fine, but anything I do to her is unforgivable?”
