The Stand-In Who Burned the Script novel Chapter 525

He offered a cold, humorless smirk, completely ignoring her question. "Did you block my phone number and iMessage?"

"..." She hadn't expected him to find out quite so fast.

But admitting it right now would be complicated.

She pressed her lips together. "It was an accident."

"An accident?"

Jonah scoffed, his imposing gaze tracking her every micro-expression. "Is it just that whatever Silas tells you to do, you blindly obey?"

If Vivian had previously worried about making the situation awkward, this crossed the line into outright overstepping.

Her expression grew even colder, settling into a freezing indifference.

"Aren't you overstepping your boundaries?"

Instead of getting angry at her pushback, a dark flame ignited in Jonah's eyes. The woman he had fallen for was truly unlike anyone else.

"Good... very good."

He muttered the words slowly, his jaw tight.

Leaning in even closer, his voice dropped to a dangerous whisper near her ear. "But let me remind you—since you agreed to play this game, you better fulfill your end of the bargain. Otherwise... Vivian, I will never let you go."

Vivian's breath hitched as she watched him pull back.

Jonah's gaze remained locked on her face.

His eyes were a swirling abyss of love, hatred, and an unyielding, obsessive possessiveness.

Vivian held her breath until he finally walked out of the lobby. She let out a heavy sigh, her clear eyes reflecting the harsh, fragmented sunlight pouring through the glass doors.

Zoe Hunt had witnessed the entire standoff from a distance.

Once she was certain Jonah was gone, she jogged over.

"Miss..."

Vivian tore her gaze away from the door and looked at her. "What are you doing down here?"
