“You know I’ve never had any place in the Weston family. If you send me back now, they’ll never let me off. I’m begging you, for old times’ sake, please spare me, spare my family, okay?”

Easton stared down at her, his eyes icy and full of disdain. He said, “Stella, if it weren’t for what we had

growing up, you wouldn’t even have the chance to say this to me now.”

Leaving her with those cold words, Easton walked out, Gordon following close behind.

Stella slumped on the floor, feeling utterly defeated. Only after Easton and Gordon left did she finally have the nerve to call Alex.

Alex snapped, “You’re pathetic. I told you to hold onto Easton, and you couldn’t even manage that.”

He hung up on her, fuming.

George stood beside him and gave his shoulder a reassuring pat. He said, “Don’t panic. Didn’t you notice? The reason Easton is so pissed is that he’s worried about Sophia. That makes things even easier for us.”

Alex shot George a puzzled look.

George kept rolling the wooden bead between his fingers, making a soft clicking sound in the quiet room.

He spoke in a calm, measured tone, “Once a man falls in love, that’s his weak spot. When a guy’s got feelings, sooner or later, he’ll lose his head over it.”

After George finished telling Alex all about Sophia’s parents, he looked up at Alex with a knowing glint in his eye. He said, “The game just keeps getting juicier, doesn’t it?”

After leaving the hospital room, Easton ignored the doctor’s advice and insisted on being discharged.

Gordon could see Easton was visibly anxious: he’d already called Sophia over a dozen times since early morning, but she hadn’t picked up, not even replying to his WhatsApp messages.

Easton tried reaching Annie again, but she only talked about the Crestview Group and wouldn’t say anything about Sophia.

Gordon stepped up to reassure him, “Mr. Foster, maybe Ms. Roth is just busy dealing with Crestview Group’s issues. She might not be able to check her phone all the time.”

Easton gripped his phone tight, feeling a crushing pressure in his chest. His breath was quick and uneven as he stared at the call log, frustration and anxiety swirling inside him.

Just half an hour ago, he’d told the IT team to restore all the deleted calls and WhatsApp messages on his phone.

There it was: Sophia really had called him. Thirty-five seconds, that’s all it lasted. Rage surged through Easton. He knew Stella must’ve answered for him.

But then, fear started spreading through Easton like wildfire. He thought, ‘What on earth did Stella say to Sophia that night?

‘Did Sophia get the wrong idea about me again?

‘If that’s not it, then why is she dodging my calls? Gordon’s excuses are total crap. No matter how busy Sophia is, she never goes anywhere without her phone. She’s ghosting me on purpose.’

Annie had messaged him on WhatsApp a few days ago, saying Sophia had gotten sick and had been stuck in the hospital for three days, hooked up to an IV.

Easton slumped back in his airplane seat, eyes shut tight. Just picturing Sophia at her most helpless, him not being there for her, and Stella sneaking around, answering his calls behind his back, made his chest twist with pain and irritation.

Sophia sat in her office, expressionless, staring at the incoming call on her phone. With a cold swipe, she

blocked Easton’s number and his WhatsApp, cutting him off without a second thought.

Tomorrow was the board’s deadline, and Sophia wasn’t going anywhere tonight. She was determined to stick it out in her office, still waiting for any news from Riverdale.

Early the next morning, Sophia’s phone wouldn’t stop buzzing. She’d crashed on the office couch, and half- awake, she sat up. The moment she saw the caller ID, her eyes flew open.

The caller’s voice came through, smooth and familiar. It said, “I’m back. Come pick me up at the airport.”
