As the night deepened, Quinn found herself restlessly tossing and turning on the couch. Her gaze was fixated on

the wall clock, the hands pointing at 11 PM. She knew, with a sinking heart, that Alexander would probably not

be returning hthat night either.

Turning over, she was on the brink of surrendering to sleep when an unexpected noise from upstairs jolted her

awake. She shot a glance upwards, her ears straining to catch the sound again. But all was silent, and she

allowed herself to sink back onto the couch.

Yet, the very next moment, the sound echoed again - a noise akin to the scraping of glass. With a frown creasing

her forehead, Quinn rose from the couch and made her way upstairs, suspecting she might have left a window

ajar. As she stepped into the bedroom and pushed open the door, reaching for the light switch, a pair of hands

abruptly seized her wrists. The sudden shadow looming over her sent a jolt of fear through her, causing her body

to stiffen. She instinctively opened her mouth to scream, but the sound was trapped in her chest, unable to

break free.

It was a terrifyingly familiar scenario.

A light chuckle echoed beside her, "Thought you'd actually scream this time." The voice was even more chilling

than the unexpected grip on her wrists.

Quinn struggled to break free, but the grip was unyielding. She clawed at the door frin a desperate attempt

to escape. But the disparity in their strength was too great, and she was effortlessly pulled back into the room

before the door slammed shut.

In the pitch-black room, Quinn leaned against the door, a sense of despair washing over her as she realized she

was unable to communicate with him. Then, Walter flicked on the light, his smiling face invading Quinn's line of

sight. He showed no signs of guilt for his intrusion, his grin remaining brazen. Quinn bit her lip, not daring to

breathe loudly. Through gestures, she asked, "What do you want?"

Walter pinned her against the door, his hand braced by her ear, and said with a smile, "Just haven't seen my

sister-in-law in a while, thought I'd drop by."

Quinn turned her head away, not buying his flimsy excuse for a second. She pressed her ear against the door,

hoping to hear snoise from outside, but there was nothing.

"Are you waiting for Oliver to chome?" he teased. Quinn's entire body tensed as she heard him say, "He's

with Getty by now, likely tucked in bed with her. Don't count on him coming to your aid."

She turned to look at him, a smile in his eyes, but Quinn only saw danger.

"Not upset? What a good little dog you are," he taunted, his fingers tracing her cheek.

Quinn bit her lip, bracing herself for the slap she was certain would follow.

Instead, Walter mused, "Can you really swallow your pride like that? Or maybe you need my help to get back at

them, eh?"

Quinn wanted nothing to do with him. Walter helping her was the last thing she'd believe; joining forces with him

was akin to making a deal with the devil. After all, no good ever cfrom a man sneaking into her villa in the

dead of night. Walter's grip on her chin forced her to look at him, his eyes landing on the faded red marks on her

face. "Quinn, you're such a disappointment."

The scars, now just thin lines much like pale lipstick, added a touch of color to her otherwise pallid cheeks.

Unable to bear it, she gestured frantically, "What on earth do you want?"

Walter's lips curved upward, "Tell me, what did he say to you?"

Quinn looked at him, puzzled.

Quinn's thoughts flickered, suddenly recalling Alexander mentioning he was being ousted from the board-a topic

Alexander had never discussed with her before. Her heartbeat quickened. Could it be that Alexander anticipated

Walter coming after her, testing her loyalty again?
