Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Dylan hadn't slept a wink.
He didn't even step foot into his bedroom. Instead, he'd spent the entire night in his study, staring at streams of data on his computer.
He had expected Hendrix to make a move. After all, how could he possibly do nothing now that he was back?
And yet, there was nothing. Or was it that Dylan couldn't see it yet?
No. That wasn't right. A sudden thought struck Dylan—Hendrix had told everyone that he had been on a vacation.
And earlier today, Dylan had seen for himself that aside from the injury on Hendrix's arm, there wasn't a single mark on him. Which meant Hendrix had been conscious this entire time. But if he had been conscious, why had he taken no precautions against Dylan's moves?
Unless this was all a trap. A hole was dug in advance, just waiting for Dylan to step right in.
A cold sweat broke across his back at the thought of that. He immediately began tearing through the files, cross-referencing data with frenzied urgency.
By the time daylight crept in, he finally found something. It was just as he thought.
He tossed the papers aside and laughed. Of course, he should've known better than to underestimate Hendrix.
These past few months, everything had gone unnervingly smoothly for him—so much so it was as if someone had cleared the path for him in advance.
At first, he had thought it was just luck and that fate had finally tipped the scales in his favor. But now, he knew it had all been Hendrix's doing.
Using the same financial tactics hedge funds played with overseas but applying them to the domestic stock market was truly brilliant. So, what came next? A short-selling trap to lock their funds in place? That had to be it.
But Hendrix seemed to have forgotten one thing—that money wasn't Dylan's. So even if the funds were locked up, that was the Swift family's problem.
Though as the middleman and executor, Dylan wouldn't escape liability, either. Which meant…

The readers' comments on the novel: The Sway and Slide of Love
Like how the story is progressing now but why is the author only releasing 3 chapters at a time? this is torture😩😩...
Woah chapters 41-45 is intense!! Good to see Noelle’s character who has come across as mostly detached actually express emotion....
I find Noelle’s character so frustrating, she comes across lacking any true emotion. The chapters where Rosie was missing was probably the most where we have seen some strong outward emotion shown. Dreading these next few chapters if she is going to do something drastic to “go find Seline” The author has taken us on a rollercoaster with these characters. The novel feels like it is at a stage now where they can come full circle....
A good change of pace and story in the last 10 chapters. Good to see the shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win over Noelle and Rosie. Hope we start to see them warm up to him. Please no crazy twist where he loses them again. Have enjoyed this story and looking forward to its wrap up👨👩👧...
A good change of pace in the last 10 chapters. Also nice to see a shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win Noelle and Rosie over.

I have been in love with this novel but I don’t know how much patience I have to wait until the to finish line. Dear Author, can you atleast give us some idea about how long is this going to be or if there’s any turning point coming soon. And it would be great if you could upload at least 10 chapters at once. 5 chapters is making me more impatience with the anticipation of the further story of novel🙈...
I really hope there is a turning point in this story where Noelle starts to show some interest in Hendrix...
