For days, Dorothy had barely eaten a thing, so when she was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace, she didn't have the strength to resist!
Before she could even see who it was, she heard a man's pained intake of breath—
She had accidentally bumped into his injured chest.
"Everett, you—mmph!"
Her protest was cut short as her lips were claimed in a fierce, punishing kiss.
Everett's kiss was desperate, biting, as if he was venting all his frustrations on her!
Tears sprung to Dorothy's eyes as she struggled, but she ceased her movements when she detected what seemed to be the metallic scent of blood.
He was so tall, she had to tilt her head back to meet his kiss.
"Why did you stop resisting?" Everett's voice was husky, like gravel scraping together.
"Let me go!"
"You care about my pain, don't you?"
"That's not it!"
Everett's eyes were clear and cold, his lips stained with blood, making them appear even redder. "I told you, you're not allowed to die."
"Yes, and here I am, alive, aren't I?"
"But you were about to jump!"
Dorothy's vision had cleared significantly, the illusions shattered by his presence, allowing her reason to partially return.
"I wasn't. I was just looking."
"I can't trust your words anymore. You're lying to me; you want to die. You want to leave me!" Everett's grip on her didn't loosen, pressing her close to him, even though it caused him immense pain.
He even thought the pain was good, a sign that both were still alive.
Dorothy slowly looked up at him, finally softening, exhausted.
"Everett, I think… I might be sick… I can't control my actions."
"Dorothy is so ungrateful! If she's going to be like this, then I can't let her have an easy time!"
He immediately called Quincy's father, his tone no longer negotiable but almost commanding!
"I want your daughter to marry into the Lopez family! Otherwise, consider the consequences."
Minutes after hanging up, a call from an unknown number came through.
Jonathan frowned before answering.
"Jonathan, it's me, Quincy."
"Speak."
"I can marry Everett, but on one condition."
Jonathan was displeased. "You're not in a position to threaten me."
"It's not a threat." Quincy paused, "Just give me some time, and I'll make Mr. Lopez willingly marry me."

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
