Stefan had always admired Jordan’s aunt. To a man, the one who got away would always be a regret. This was especially true for a man like Stefan, who had a good family background and was successful.

After all, Stefan could get almost any woman he wanted.

Jordan’s aunt happened to be divorced at the moment, which was why Stefan had a chance now.

When Marissa saw their clasped hands, she broke down. She had just experienced a near-death experience, being robbed and kidnapped.

Meanwhile, her man was with another woman!

She couldn’t slap that woman because she was from the Steele family and it was also Charleston’s daughter. In the end, Marissa was just a new guest here. This was Jordan’s aunt’s territory.

Hence, Marissa could only curse at Stefan. “Stefan! To think that I was still thinking about you when I was kidnapped and about to die! But here you are with another woman! I have loved the wrong man in this life!”

With that, Marissa turned around and ran away with tears in her eyes.

“Mom!”

Lauren wanted to run after Marissa. She was afraid that her mother would take things too hard.

Jesse stopped her. “I’m more familiar with this place. I’ll go comfort your mother. Talk to your father first and let him understand the situation.”

Seeing that Marissa had already run out of sight, Lauren nodded.

Marissa had run away without any destination in mind. This castle was enormous and as it was her first time here, she would definitely get lost.

After a short search, Jesse found Marissa in an unoccupied room. She was sitting on the bed and crying.
