hidden fire.

Elizabeth swung the door open and stepped inside, ready to close it behind her.

But it wouldn’t budge, blocked by something.

She scowled, then pushed the door wider, spotting Leo on the doorstep.

“Well, well, if it isn’t Miss Wallace,” Leo greeted with a smirk.

“You really did a number on me.

Elizabeth’s heart raced as she took a step back, eyeing him cautiously.

“What do you want?”

“Why? You forget things quickly, don’t you? You still owe me, big time.

Elizabeth’s gaze hardened, but she kept her voice steady.

“Money’s all it’s about.

Following her into the room, Leo shut the door behind them.

Before Elizabeth could react, Leo yanked her into the room.

Forcing her onto the sofa, Leo leaned in, his actions rough and aggressive as he began to ki*s her neck.

His behavior was impulsive and disrespectful.

Elizabeth shivered, feeling a chill run down her spine.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, she panicked and fought against him desperately.

“Help! Somebody, help!”

Feeling something cold against her waist, Elizabeth stopped shouting abruptly, looking at Leo with surprise.
