+15 BONUS
When Daniella returned to Xander Residence that night, Grayson asked, âElla, why didnât you go to the
company this morning?â
Daniella had crafted an excuse on her way home. âGrandpa, you know my company is in the fashion
industry. I had to visit a fashion factory.â
Her response elicited a grin from him. âAh, you went to negotiate a deal. Are you tired?â
Pouting and rubbing her neck, Daniella replied, âYes, Iâm exhausted. Grandpa, Iâm going to rest
upstairs.â
âGo ahead.â
Once Grayson retreated to his room, Daniella sneaked upstairs and changed into ordinary clothes to
avoid Evanâs men tailing her. She then hailed a taxi and headed to Villa Foresta in the northern
suburbs.
Thirty minutes later, Daniella arrived at Caseyâs house and stepped out of the car. She approached the
door, but a sternâlooking bodyguard blocked her path.
Confused, Daniella furrowed her brows. Iâm here to see Casey. Why are you stopping me?â
The bodyguard replied, âMr. Jordan is not currently available to meet with outsiders.â
î
âOutsiders?â Daniella widened her eyes. âLook at me! Iâm no outsider!â
The bodyguard remained resolute. âYou can tell Mr. Jordan yourself.â
Reluctantly, Daniella decided against causing a scene and called Casey.
After a brief wait, Casey answered.
âElla?â Caseyâs voice sounded gentle. âWhy are you calling me at this hour?â
Daniella adopted a flirtatious tone. âCasey, why is your bodyguard blocking me?â
Casey coldly glanced at the wounded and bloodied woman nearby, whom he had abused. âIâm getting
ready. Iâll open the door for you in a bit.â
Although Daniella was doubtful, she kept her words brief. âAlright, Iâll wait for you.â
After ending the call, Casey got up and grabbed the woman by her long hair, dragging her to a guest
room.
The woman woke up in pain and screamed in terror upon seeing Casey. âNo⦠please, stop. I was
wrong.

Casey halted and warned, âI wonât hesitate to silence you if you make a sound.â
She was in pain but instantly fell silent as Casey removed her from the room.
Ten minutes later, Casey descended the stairs in his bathrobe and opened the door for Daniella. Her
face was flushed from the biting cold, and Casey felt sorry for her. He took her hand and led her to the
living room, covering her hands with his.
î
âSilly, are you cold?â he asked.
Daniellaâs eyes welled up. âYou took so long, Casey. It is freezing outside at midnight.â
Casey then placed her hands against his warm body and smiled gently. âFeeling warmer now?â
Daniella nodded with contentment. âYes, Iâm not cold anymore⦠Casey, Iâm sorry I couldnât help you
yesterday.â
Casey caressed her face. âItâs alright. I understand the need for discretion.â
Daniella then nestled into his arms. âI want to stay with you tonight, Casey.â
Casey held her head and spoke coolly. âYou need to be cautious, especially since youâve recently had
contact with Evan.â
His refusal made her sigh. âAlright. Iâll wait and be with you after some time.â
Casey asked, âHowâs Axel doing?â
âIt appears he can undergo the surgery tomorrow,â Daniella replied.
âWell, thatâs quite swift.â
Daniella extricated herself from Caseyâs embrace. âYou donât want it to happen so soon?â
Casey shook his head. âThereâs no rush for you to do anything. Iâm just glad youâre safe.â
Daniella was moved to tears. âThank you for being so kind to me, Casey.â
With that, she leaned in to kiss his cold lips, igniting a spark in Caseyâs mind as he thought of
Carolineâs passionate and aloof demeanor.
