Victoria sat for a long time, processing everything she had just learned.

Finally, she began contacting her lawyer, preparing to take action and assess her assets. Just then, her phone pinged with a new email. When she opened it, she found detailed evidence of Larry's misdeeds. No need for her to investigate further-she had everything she needed to kick that scumbag out of her life with nothing.

Having dealt with two major issues, Selena felt a wave of relief wash over her. She hopped into her car and sent a message to Maria.

"Got time for lunch? Let's grab a bite.”

Maria replied, “Sure, what do you want to eat?"

"I found a great steak place. I'll send you the location."

"Sounds good."

Well... she wasn't exactly a mechanic. After poking around under the hood, she admitted defeat-she had no idea what was wrong. "Miss Selena."

A cold voice suddenly broke the silence, startling her. She spun around to see a man with an icy expression standing a short distance away. "Where did you come from?" she asked, a mix of shock and suspicion in her eyes. But she quickly recognized him-it was Braden.
