âRoy, I thought you were better than this.
I was wrong!â she exclaimed.
âKeep your distance, or Iâll defend myself every time you come near!â
She stormed off, leaving Roy rubbing his reddened cheek.
He pulled out his phone, which displayed an active call.
Putting it to his ear, he spoke.
âDid you catch that? I followed your instructions.
Valeria now thinks the worst of me.
I doubt sheâll ever want anything to do with me again.
â
The person on the other snorted dismissively.
âRemember, keep your distance from her from now on!â
âAbsolutely, without a doubt! And what about those photos you gotâ¦â
âAs long as you keep your promise to steer clear of her, your secret will remain safe.
â
Upon hearing this, Roy let out a sigh of relief.
âDonât worry, Iâll steer clear of her from now on.
â
The caller said nothing more and abruptly ended the call.

Roy stared at the phone screen, mopped the sweat off his forehead, and felt an urge to smack himself.
Why had he ever crossed paths with Valeria?
Her ex-husband, the hacker, was a nightmare!
He had exploited his dirty secret to manipulate him into saying those deliberate words that repulsed Valeria!
It was a cruel strategy indeed!
Reflecting on Valeria storming off in anger, he clicked his tongue in frustration.
He suspected that Valeria might struggle to find another partner in the future.
Her ex was certainly going to meddle in her relationships!
Meanwhile, Rosalynn had been rushed to a hospital by Edwin.
As he looked at her ashen face, Edwinâs eyes filled with deep concern.
Rosalynn had gone above and beyond to secure the partnership for the company.
Although they secured the project, he was concerned about her well- being.
âRosalynn.
â
Lyndon, who had arrived at the hospital early, noticed her ashen complexion and quickly came to her aid.
âAre you alright?â he asked gently.
âIâm fine, just need some rest for the babyâs sake,â Rosalynn replied, managing a weak smile.
The baby, a symbol of her love with Brian, was her top priority.
She knew she couldnât take any risks that might endanger the baby, especially since Brian had stressed the importance of her looking after herself and their unborn child.
