If he could risk everything for an adopted daughter, there was no way he’d ever do anything to let his own mother down.
After a while, Gary signed, [Stephen, let me handle getting justice for your mom. This is my fight, not yours.
[Keep this from Jackson for me. I promise I won’t get you or your brother mixed up in it.]
Then, without another word, he quietly walked back to his room and closed the door.
Stephen stared at the closed door, letting out a troubled sigh.
He pulled out his phone, planning to reach out to the person who sent the package, but the number was already disconnected.
Stephen thoughT, ‘No way. I can’t let Gary take this risk.
“This revenge is mine to take.’

That night, after dinner and hashing out more birthday party details with her parents, Victoria was video chatting with Jackson in her room when, for the first time in ages, she got a message from Annie about Gavin.
Annie: [Oh no, Victoria. It’s been ages, but Gavin messaged me again. He said your birthday’s almost here, and he’s planning to give you a huge, unforgettable surprise at your party.]
Annie: [I’m freaking out a bit. What if he tries something crazy at your birthday party? But don’t worry, Victoria.
[I’ll do everything I can to deal with Gavin before your big day. No way am I letting him mess up your party.]
It had been so long since Victoria had heard anything about Gavin that she’d almost forgotten her ex even existed.
She grabbed her phone, closed out of the video chat, and shot a reply to Annie.
Victoria: [Alright, Gavin’s all yours. If you can handle him, I’ll owe you any favor you want, so long as it’s something I can do.]
Annie: [For real? That’s awesome. Just you wait, Victoria. I’ll definitely take care of him.]
Victoria switched back to the video chat.
On the screen, Jackson’s hair was a mess, but he looked effortlessly cool. He raised an eyebrow. “Where’d you go just now? I couldn’t see you on camera.”
“Annie told me Gavin’s planning to give me a big surprise at my birthday party,” Victoria said, thinking back to what Gavin pulled at her last birthday and letting out a sigh.
She added, “I’d rather not. I want to celebrate with only my parents, you, and everyone else, no drama, just a happy birthday.”
Jackson grinned. “As his romantic rival, I’m curious what kind of birthday gift he’s going to give you. Between has and mine. which one will really wow you?”
“Of course, yours.” Victoria said without a second thought.
“I know you like me more, Vickie, but I want my gift to be the best, not just because you’re biased,” Jackson said seriously.
