Nadine rushed to look at her wrist. A band of angry red had already bloomed across her skin, wrapping around it like a raw scar.

Abel moved in front of Tess, shielding her with his frame. He leaned close and gave her a cocky wink, his voice smooth and mocking. “Just so you know, I’m not some sort of creep, Tess. I don’t barge into the ladies‘ spaces. I just tailed these bozos here.”

“Oh, shush.”

Tess’s glare cut sharp at him.

Abel’s grin only stretched wider, curling into something shameless.

Their exchange pushed Henry past his limit. His face hardened, his tone snapping like a whip. “Tess, don’t fool yourself into thinking you’re safe just because he’s here. Delete every single thing you recorded. Now.”

He thought he had covered every angle, yet Tess had tricked him.

His fury rattled his hands.

Tess’s face vanished behind Abel’s shoulders. Abel heard Henry’s words and chuckled, the sound low and cruel. He clapped slowly, the noise echoing in the tiled room, his smile curling sharp. “Oh? So now you’re planning to get back at my Tess?”

He stepped back just enough to set a hand on Tess’s shoulder. Then he lowered himself, his mouth brushing near her ear. “So, tell me. Whose ass you want to see whooped first?”

He made his breath fan against her skin, dragging warmth across her ear like a wicked game.

The restroom was nearly empty, so his voice rang clear. Henry and the rest heard it all.

Heat rushed to Tess’s ears. She tried to keep her composure, yet the flush spreading across her face betrayed her.

She glared at Abel, warning him to stop. But his gaze locked on the red rising up her neck, and instead of pulling back, he leaned closer.

“They came at me first. As long as I’m here, no one will touch you. They deserve a lesson. Or maybe … I’ll start with that brat. Disciplining bratty kids. Mm, my favorite.”

Abel’s stare slid toward Kaleb. The smirk on his lips twisted darker, like a knife catching the

light.

He saw it clearly. That boy had been the one who grabbed Tess’s bag.

Shannon froze in alarm. She yanked Kaleb behind her, shielding him tight.

Henry caught the venom in Abel’s eyes, and fear rippled through him. He softened his voice, though his jaw remained locked tight. “Tess, just delete the files. You’re still my daughter. I don’t want this to get any worse.”

Tess gave a small shrug. “But I never promised to let you off the hook. And if I want to walk out of here, you don’t have the power to stop me.”

The mocking curve on her lips vanished, leaving only a face sharp and cold like a blade of ice.

Henry’s chest thudded hard. The face staring back at him was ruthless, and for a moment he couldn’t connect it with the quiet girl he once knew.

“Let’s go.”

Abel straightened at her words. He walked by her side, silent and steady, like a shadow glued to her.

But as they reached the doorway, a tall figure dressed in black stepped into view.

Their eyes met, sharp and unflinching.

Finn’s stare was deep and dark. As his gaze lowered to the sight of them standing shoulder to shoulder, it grew heavier by the second.

Nadine’s pupils shrank. Panic seized her chest. She darted forward and planted her foot on the photos scattered on the ground, blocking them from sight.

What? What is Finn doing here?

Shannon caught Nadine’s alarm and her head pounded with dread.

She had planned a surprise, not this.

Henry had told her the rumors. For years, the media whispered that Finn had feelings for her daughter. All they needed was a chance.

She had failed Nadine too many times. If Nadine wanted Finn, then she would help her. That was the promise she made to herself. She even arranged for him to join them today. She never expected Tess to ruin it.

“Mr. Lock,” Shannon said, her voice stretched into a strained smile, “please let the staff take you

to our table. We have some business to finish here first.”

But Finn didn’t look at her. His stare never broke from Tess.

“What are you doing here with him?”

His voice was low, rough, and heavy with something he couldn’t contain.

Tess turned her head away. She tugged Abel’s arm, trying to leave.
