Both of them seemed to sense each other at the same time, and they froze.

Just then, the elevator lights flickered back on. Charles nced over at Ynda and saw Samuel standing
beside her.
Samuel was looking down at his phone, trying to call someone outside. He nced up when he noticed Charles staring at him, his expression puzzled.
Charles quickly looked away, tightening his grip around Ynda’s waist.
Ynda let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding, catching a glimpse of Ian, who had somehow slipped quietly to stand just behind her.
She felt her whole body flush with heat, lowered her head, and even the tips of her ears were burning.
Everything that had happened between her and Ian went against all the rules she’d grown up with. It was the first time she’d ever felt this kind of betrayal, and she couldn’t help but feel anxious.
She wasn’t like Charles, who could cheat and still flirt with his wife at home without a care in the world.
Ynda was so tense, Charles assumed she was just frightened. He reassured her in a low voice, “Don’t worry. We’ll be out of here soon.”
Ynda swallowed hard and gently rested against his chest.
Sure enough, the maintenance crew showed up in no time. They apologized to those stuck inside, then quickly pried open the elevator doors with their tools.
Ynda stuck <i>to </i>Charles like glue the entire time.
The director chatted briefly with the group, then left with Ian in tow.
Charles pulled out a cigarette and lit it, a crooked smile tugging at his lips. “Samuel, I’ll get Ynda home first, alright?”
Samuel looked over at Ynda and offered her a tissue.
She pressed her lips together and murmured a quiet thank you.
Charles saw the exchange, his brows knitting together.
Once they were back in the car, Ynda checked her phone, but Ian still hadn’t messaged her.
Her heart was hanging in suspense, both thrilled and uneasy.
Charles sat down beside her, about to say something when his phone rang. It was Vivian.
Vivian was about to get out of the hospital. She was still pissed that she hadn’t managed to destroy Ynda’s

studio, but with all the online drama still raging, she couldn’t do much else–so she set her sights on Megan
next.
One way or another, she was hell–bent on making sure that bitch Ynda never got a moment’s peace.
And besides that, she was determined to keep hooking up with Ynda’s man.
But what she didn’t expect was for Charles to actually turn her down.
“Ynda had a scare today. Let’s talk about it another time.”
After ending the call, he drew Ynda close. “You and Samuel have always been that close?”
He couldn’t help but recall how Samuel had put his arm around Ynda’s waist in the elevator. Sure, it was an emergency, but those two had spent so many years together.
Ynda didn’t really think much about it and just answered honestly, “Samuel’s always swamped, and we barely talk. Plus, he’s way too uptight.”
Honestly, Samuel had this kind of maturity that was way beyond his years–it made people feel kind of pressured around him.
Besides, if there was ever anything between those two, Ynda wouldn’t have had feelings for Charles for fifteen years straight.
Charles knew he was just overthinking things.
After dropping Ynda off at Moonbay Estate, Charles left right away, saying he was heading over to Sinir manor to see Renee.
Ever since she fell into the pool, Renee hadn’t set foot outside Sinir manor, and May was furious with Ynda, ming her for it all.
Renee had always been pampered, and this time she just couldn’t swallow her pride. She started raising hell at home, cursing Ynda every single day.
May was already pissed off, and seeing her daughter like this thanks to Ynda just pushed her over the edge.
“Mom, I swear, every time I close my eyes, I feel like the pool water ising for me. You have no idea how terrified I am. That bitch Ynda! Why does Charles keep her around if he doesn’t even care about her?”
May reached out and gave her daughter aforting pat on the head. “If you really can’t stand her, then start thinking about how to get your brother to divorce her. Samuel’s project is locked in with our family this time -he’s not about to blow it all just for Ynda.”
Renee’s eyes darted as she started scheming. She’d called Vivian earlier, but it looked like Vivian hadn’t managed to get the job done.
A sly smile tugged at her lips as she grabbed some gifts and made her way to visit Vivian.
Vivian’s brain just short–circuits whenever Charles <b>is </b>involved.

Renee sat beside her on the hospital bed, grabbing her hand and putting on her cutest, most innocent act. “Vivian, you don’t know how bad Ynda really is. She’s always talking trash about you to my brother. I never thought she was that kind of person.”
Vivian couldn’t help but think about how Charles had just rejected her, and it made her blood boil.
Charles was always sweet to everyone–there’s no way he’d turn her down unless Ynda was messing things up. That bitch!
Vivian’s chest heaved with anger, her eyes zing with fury.
Renee felt a surge of pride seeing Vivian like that. “You’re honestly my top pick for sister–inw. I’m going to find a way to split up my brother and Ynda–I’m on your side.”
Vivian was thoroughly pleased, gripping Renee’s hand in return. “No need for you to step in. If I can’t deal with something this trivial, how could I ever help your brother run thepany?”
“Alright, Vivian, I’ll leave it to you.”
Renee hade to pick Vivian up from the hospital today. Once Vivian was settled in the car, Renee stood outside and called out, “Take care, Vivian. If you ever need anything, just let me know.”
Vivian nodded, watching her head off with a spring in her step.
Inside the car, her uncle Grady Andrade noticed her sour expression and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Vivian took a deep breath and leaned back in her seat. “Greg screwed up again. Get someone to put the squeeze on him. If he can’t cough up the money, break his legs. Corner a guy like that, and he’ll be desperate enough to do anything we want.”
Grady nodded. Greg had gotten himself into debt because of their scheme.
Now, Greg waspletely trapped in their web.

Ynda called in a cleaning crew to give the studio a thorough once–over. She was worried Greg mighte back around, so she called Megan to ask where he was.
Megan was at the hospital for a prenatal checkup, and Greg was there with her.
It had been a long time since he’d stayed by her side like this, and she hadn’t felt this happy in ages.
“He’s here with me for the checkup. This baby was such a surprise, and I’m really anxious about it. Ynda, he really has changed. I’ll make sure he stays on the right path.”
Greg knew it was Ynda calling, and just thinking about how close he’de to getting what he wanted made his heart race with excitement.
Ynda was drop–dead gorgeous, filthy rich too–if he could ever get her into bed, man, that’d be the score of a lifetime.

He was still lost in those thoughts when his phone suddenly rang. The moment he saw the caller ID, the color drained from his face.
Megan caught the look on his face and frowned. “Didn’t I tell you to change your number? You need to cut off contact with those people. I’ve already paid off all your debts for you.”
Pretty much everything she made these past few years went straight to paying off Greg’s debts.
She just wanted Greg to break away from that crowd and for the two of them to live a normal life together. As long as they worked hard, they’d be fine.
Greg just brushed her off. “Yeah, yeah, I know. I haven’t talked to any of them. Babe, go get your checkup.”
As soon as Megan disappeared inside, Greg checked his messages right away.
It was a hospital address.
William Bet, the orphanage director, had just undergone a kidney transnt and was still recovering in the hospital. Ynda would probablye visit him, and if Greg hung around long enough, he was bound to run into her.
Greg swallowed hard, quickly hiding his phone when he saw Meganing back out.
Even though Megan was pregnant and it hadn’t been easy for her, they were t broke. He had to figure out a way to get some money–otherwise, the kid would just end up suffering as soon as he was born.
Plus, he had a mountain of debts Megan didn’t even know about. There was no way she could cover them, and if he didn’t pay up, those guys would have no problem breaking his legs.
He helped Megan into the car, and while she was asleep, he took her phone and pulled out cash advances on every credit card she had. Then he made sure to delete every single verification code text so she wouldn’t notice a thing.
