That night, the house was unusually quiet. There was no sign of Mabel, no barking from Meatloaf, not even the usual smart lights flicking on.

Anneliese called out twice. “Meatloaf?”

Silence. She instinctively turned to the man behind her. “Did Mabel take Meatloaf out for a walk?”

He didn’t answer. The only sound was a bag landing on the cabinet. A moment later, his hands closed firmly around her waist.

“Ah!” She let out a small gasp as he lifted her onto the low cabinet by the entryway.

He stepped closer, resting his forehead against hers.

The front door clicked shut, cutting off the hallway light. Darkness filled the entryway, and her heart skipped a beat.

In the dimness, his warm breath brushed against her skin. His voice came low and rough.

“I told Mabel to take Meatloaf home.”

Her heartbeat quickened. She instinctively pushed at his shoulder. “You… What are you…”

This is getting out of hand! The place is enormous. Even if we want some privacy, Meatloaf could stay.

With one arm, he lifted her straight off the cabinet. She clung to him, fingers threading through his thick, slightly coarse hair. His kiss didn’t stop, swallowing her startled cries.

Her eyes fluttered shut, every sense sharpening. The sound of him rummaging through the plastic bag roared in her ears. He grabbed what he needed and moved quickly. The shopping bag tipped over, snacks scattering across the floor, but neither of them cared.

He carried her through the mess and into the bedroom, kicking the door shut with a bang.

The living room fell silent. The night had only just begun. Inside, things were heating up.

Meanwhile, Selina was anxiously waiting. She finally received the DNA test results.

She flipped straight to the last page. The moment her eyes landed on the result, her pupils contracted, and excitement lit up her face.

She tucked the report into her purse, jumped into her car, and sped toward the White estate.

At the same time, in a private club room, Perseus and Christopher sat red–faced, downing liquor straight from the bottle.
