“Do I need him fussing over me like this? What, does Falvaria not have hospitals? And now I’m supposed to take care of him too? Who even says stuff like that?”

Tessa completely lost it.

She stormed back and forth across the living room, ranting non–stop.

Uh…

Well.

Stella had no idea what had actually happened over there.

But judging from Tessa’s reaction right now, things might be a little out of control with her being around Victor.

Clearing her throat, Stella offered, “If Victor’s hurt, there’s a chance he might run a fever tonight. You should give him some meds first. If that doesn’t work-”

“What’s even worse,” Tessa cut in before Stella could finish, “is this–he broke now or something?”

Stella replied, “No, he’s not.”

“Then why can’t he hire a housekeeper? If he’s got money, he could afford ten of them, not just one!”

Stella sighed. “He can afford it.”

“Then why won’t he?”

Tessa was genuinely baffled. He’d even fired the cook–what now, planning to turn her into his free maid?

Whatever. Those were minor things.

But what happened tonight?

Had gone way too far.

So what–just because he looked after her the other night, now she’s supposed to return the favor?

Stella explained, “Because the young and pretty ones try to seduce him.”

Apparently, that’s how the last batch of maids got let go.

Tessa snapped, “Then hire old ones. Ugly ones.”

“Those might be assassins!”

Which… also happened before.

Tessa fell silent.

What the-

Stella added, “Victor’s had a few incidents like that in the past. He got tired of it, so now he does everything himself.”

That’s why all his villas only had hourly workers coming in occasionally.

He didn’t want to deal with people who had hidden agendas.

Tessa asked, “So tonight, it’s gotta be me taking care of him, is that it?”

Stella nodded. “Yeah. Unless something unexpected happens, you’ll probably need to.”

Something unexpected. God, she was really starting to hate that phrase.

“Then can’t you send someone over?”

She was on the verge of a breakdown.

Stella was the Luke family’s little princess–sending someone should be a snap for her.

But Stella hesitated. “That… might not work.”

What now?

The way she said it, like even sending a maid was some kind of moral dilemma. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Stella explained, “Even if I send someone, Victor has to agree to it.”

“What about your brother? Can he send someone?”

“Same deal. Victor has to give the green light.”

So even Mr. Abraham didn’t have unlimited power in Falvaria? He actually needed someone’s permission?

Tessa’s face just fell.

Stella added, “The thing is… Victor’s a master of security systems.”

“From the moment you walk into his villa, there are traps everywhere. If you’re not someone he trusts, or if he hasn’t given you access, you could be taken down within five steps.”

Translation: anyone stepping into Victor’s territory without permission was playing with fire.

Literal, possibly fatal, fire.

He was basically a walking hazard zone.

Tessa sucked in a sharp breath. “Taken down in five steps?”

Stella nodded. “You walk in standing up, and end up a pile of ashes in the ground. For innocent people, that’s pretty brutal.”

Ashes. In the ground…
