"Hey, buddy," she said softly, reaching out to hug him from behind. But Michael didn't respond to her embrace; he remained rigid, clearly still upset about her being late.
"You're late," he said, his voice tinged with frustration, as he took a seat in front of her.
Rose sighed, feeling remorseful for her actions. "I'm sorry about that," she apologized, looking into his eyes with sincerity. "Something unexpected came up that kept me longer than I anticipated."
His smile was cold, and Rose could tell that her explanation didn't fully appease him. Nonetheless, she tried to maintain a positive look, returning his smile with an ev

The sun was starting to set, casting long shadows over the scene, but they knew they had to stay focused."Look here, Lark," Max called out, crouching down to point at a small piece of torn fabric near the bushes.

Rose's emotions were in turmoil as she looked away, trying to gather her thoughts. Michael's question about having children had hit a sensitive nerve, but she couldn't bring herself to explain the complexities of her situation just yet."That's a complicated question, you know," Rose replied, her voice tinged with a mixture of sadness and uncertainty.Michael frowned, concerned for his sister's well-being. "But last night, you seemed to agree with what he said," he noted, referring to a conversation they had over dinner.

Her eyes were filled with fear and desperation, and the images sent a chill down Damian's spine.His hands shook as he tried to comprehend the horror he was witnessing.

He went to join his colleague," she said while scrolling through her phone.There was a brief silence before Michael spoke again. "He's handsome, you know… why did he want to speak with you? Is he your secret boyfriend?" he teased, flashing a grin. Rose looked at him and smiled, enjoying the moment of her brother's playful banter. Despite growing into a young man, she could still see her little brother in him.He's just a friend," she reassured Michael.

He knew he couldn't escape Sebastian's clutches, but he also couldn't bring himself to reveal the truth about Ivy's plan.Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Sebastian broke the silence. "Damian, I want to know what Ivy's plan was when she kidnapped you. Did she say anything about it? Did she have any motives against me?"Damian swallowed hard, his mind racing for a way to evade Sebastian's questions without revealing too much. "I-I don't know," he stammered, trying to sound as convincing as possible. "She didn't tell me anything. She just... she just wanted me to be with her, to use me as bait"Sebastian's grip on the steering wheel tightened, his frustration evident. "Don't lie to me, Damian," he warned, his

Damian's heart was still racing from the near-death experience, but he knew he had to keep his wits about him.As Sebastian stood outside the car, he leaned against the door, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "Now, Damian," he said, his voice dripping with menace, "you can continue being difficult and risk spending the rest of your life in jail for Ivy's murder, or you can do as I say and maybe, just maybe, I'll show you a bit of mercy."Sebastian's sinister smile never left his face as he stood outside the car, watching Damian closely.
