Half an hour later, Allan, Lucas, and Snowball stared at the two in front of them, mouths hanging open in perfect sync, totally floored.

Allan stammered, “S-Stella, you brought some stranger to the island?” His fingers were shaking so hard he could barely hold onto the leash.

Stella just stood there, speechless.

Lucas gasped, pointing his tiny finger at the “stranger” behind her, his eyes instantly brimming with tears, round and pitiful like eggs.

Snowball flicked his tongue in annoyance.

Allan looked absolutely devastated, circling the “stranger” as if inspecting a criminal.

The “stranger” was at least 6’3″, standing toe-to-toe with Sebastian.

Pale skin, a high-bridged nose, and hair casually falling over his forehead, he looked every bit the aristocratic vampire. Even his eyes were a mysterious shade of smoky gray.

Allan thought, ‘Sure, he isn’t quite as handsome as Sebastian, but with that dangerously attractive vibe, what girl wouldn’t get weak in the knees?’

“Man, who gave you the nerve…” Allan started, reaching out to put a hand on the guy’s shoulder, but before he could even touch him, the “stranger” snapped, “Get lost!”

Allan instantly backed off and replied, “Alright!”

Suddenly, Allan realized something. He jerked his head up, staring at the “stranger” in shock. He thought, ‘That voice just now…Isn’t it Sebastian?’

Lucas tilted his head, confused.

Snowball was still stuck on one thought: Eat the “stranger”.

With a fierce growl, Snowball arched his body and launched himself straight at the “stranger.”

Everyone heard a chilling thud.

The “stranger” didn’t even blink as he withdrew his hand, and Snowball flopped onto the ground like an overcooked noodle, a fist-sized bump swelling on his snowy white head.

His forked tongue lolled out, and his eyes spun in dizzy circles.

Snowball thought, ‘I think I just saw my snake ancestors.

Allan squinted, still not quite convinced. He called out, “Wait… Sebastian?”

Sebastian just shot him a frosty glance with those gray eyes.

Allan screamed inwardly, ‘Yep, that look said it all. It’s Sebastian.

Allan blurted out, “Holy crap! How did you even do this?” He instinctively reached out to touch Sebastian’s face.

He thought, ‘Is this some kind of magic disguise? A face swap? This is freakishly realistic!’

Lucas tilted his head, blinking in confusion.

He pointed at Sebastian, totally baffled.

Stella suddenly remembered. With a quick flick of her fingers, she produced a pill and handed it to Sebastian.

Sebastian caught the pill in his mouth and swallowed it in one go.

When he spoke again, his voice was even deeper now, totally different from before. He said, “Stranger?”

Allan and Lucas stared, stunned.

Stella glanced at her watch and said, “Let’s go!”

Sebastian shot Allan a cold smirk, giving him a look that clearly said, “Just you wait.”

Allan panicked.

His hand flailed behind Sebastian like he was reaching out for help.

Lucas looked up, confused.

He was still in a daze, no clue what just went down.

As for Snowball, it was still dazed, reeling from that blow.

Underground Garage, the elevator doors slid open, and the lights in the entire underground garage lit up one after another, starting close and stretching all the way to the far end.

The central control system kicked in at the same time.

Row after row of luxury cars, parked with military precision, gleamed with a cold, dark shine under the lights.

Without hesitating, Sebastian headed straight for the Pagani Zonda. Its midnight-black body was pure luxury and danger. “My driving skills are not bad,” he said, his voice so deep it made the words sound almost hypnotic.

He popped open the passenger door and gave Stella a quick nod to hop in.

Stella, rocking a crisp white shirt, flashed a playful smile and headed over. As she bent down to get in, Sebastian automatically placed his big hand above her head so she wouldn’t bump it.

The passenger door closed with a satisfying thud.

The car sank a little as Sebastian dropped into the driver’s seat.

The moment Sebastian’s hand landed on the steering wheel, he radiated a commanding presence that made him seem a hundred times more dangerous.

He lifted his hand from the window, the black diamond snake bracelet locked tight on his wrist, clashing against his prayer beads. As soon as he slammed the gas pedal, the garage doors flew open in perfect sync.

They tore out of there like lightning.

Stella finally had to admit Allan was right.

She thought, ‘Man, his driving is even crazier than mine.

‘No kidding, his driving is totally nuts.

‘Crazy and wild!

‘But I love it.’

The window rolled down, and Stella’s long hair spilled out like midnight blossoms. She leaned her elbow against the door.

Those matching black diamond bracelets on their wrists…there was something undeniably intimate about them.

Meanwhile, Camilla was sitting in the hotel parking lot.

She gritted her teeth in anger.

Her phone was blasting the steamy, lovey-dovey sounds of Brantley and Lauren, getting all cozy together. Totally worth every penny she spent on those bugs!

She gave a cold, merciless laugh.

Camilla thought, “Thanks to Sebastian keeping everything under wraps, Brantley still has no clue about what went down between Lauren and David that night. If he ever finds out Lauren might have caught it too…

Right then, an engine roared to life, echoing through the lot.

A black Pagani Zonda screeched to a stop right next to Camilla’s white Golf.

The window slid down, and Stella’s laid-back, stunning face appeared.

She raised her hand and shot Camilla a lazy wave.

Camilla’s face contorted with jealousy and anger as she spat, “They’re getting it on upstairs!”
