Aubrey's heart pounded as she struggled to stand up, her eyes fixated on the television screen. The news that flashed before her eyes sent a wave of shock through her body.

But before she could complete her plea, the TV remote flew through the air, striking her forehead with a resounding thud. "Ahh!" Aubrey winced, her hand instinctively reaching for her throbbing forehead. As she touched her skin, her fingertips came away stained with blood, a stark reminder of the pain she was enduring. "How dare you do this!" Grandma growled, her anger seething. But instead of recoiling, Aubrey took a hesitant step forward, mustering her courage to approach her grandmother.

To her astonishment, Lucas stood at the door, a mischievous grin on his face and a bag of popcorn in his hand. "Can I come in?" he asked, his grin widening. Aubrey's confusion grew as she welcomed him inside. Lucas made himself comfortable in a nearby chair, and Aubrey's gaze shifted to the popcorn in his hands. "Why did you bring popcorn?" she asked, her brows furrowing in puzzlement. "Here," he offered the bag to her. "I heard you weren't feeling well and needed some rest. Since I didn't have anything to do, I thought we could watch a movie together." Aubrey's face lit up with a giggle at the unexpected suggestion. "Okay," she agreed, finding the idea rather delightful. "Which movi

But what shook her to the core was the realization that she was lying on the floor in nothing but her bra and panties.
