Deep down, Russell still felt proud of Tilda. Proud that such a brilliant daughter was his.

Even though he knew he no longer had the right to feel that way.

But tonight was different. The celebration was too grand, too important. It was a national milestone, something that made every patriotic citizen’s heart race with pride.

Overcome with excitement, Russell dragged a few close business friends who had also attended the occasion to a pub. They drank heavily in celebration.

Drunk but elated, Russell booked the nearest hotel. He texted Wade to let him know and decided to walk there on his own. The night air would help him sober up.

Almost like fate, his steps led him down a quiet side street.

And there, he ran into Tilda.

A cold wind blew past.

Russell sobered quickly.

The moonlight revealed her shadow–clear and real.

Not a dream. Not a trick of the mind.

It’s Tilda.

For a moment, Russell’s confidence crumbled. He grew timid.

“Russell,” Tilda snapped, anger simmering in her voice. “You once promised me that if I agreed to visit Blair in the hospital, you’d back off for good. That was the deal. Yet here you are again- following me, even finding out where I’m staying!”

“No, Tilda, that’s not it!” Russell stammered. “I swear, I wasn’t following you. I just happened to be walking here and ran into you. I was drinking carlier–I just left the pub. I booked a hotel nearby. That’s the only reason I’m here! I’m telling the truth!”

Cone was the powerful image of a chairman.

What stood there was a powerless father, speaking to his daughter with desperate humility.

Tilda could smell the alcohol on him.

Her face stayed cold as she brushed past him, not wanting to waste another word.

She had no desire to tie herself back to the Jensons. Nothing good ever comes from them.

Whether Russell followed her here or not didn’t matter–he wouldn’t be bold enough to track her.

Tilda had erased her identity so thoroughly that uncovering where she stayed would take someone with power greater than a Queen.

Russell had always been full of tricks.

Tilda knew that better than anyone. He was a master at reverse psychology and subtle manipulation. More than once, he had struck at her weakest spots, pushing her into doing things she swore she wouldn’t–like visiting Blair in the hospital.

She had to admit it: Russell hadn’t built his company into a household name by chance. He’d risen from nothing, carving out his empire in Cetherland’s cutthroat business world. The man had real talent.
