After saying that, Connor excused himself, walking off with the doll and perfume Tess had bought.

“Divorce? Don’t even think about it,” Finn said, his voice icy.

Connor paused for a moment when he heard Finn, but he just shrugged it off and kept going.

Once Finn faded from sight, Connor pulled out his phone and called Marc. “Marc, do you know her?”

The question caught Marc off guard. He blinked a few times before realizing Connor meant Tess.

“Oh, we’re pretty close!” Marc said, trying to sound confident, though he hesitated when it came to actually knowing her.

Connor didn’t ask more. He just suggested Marc fly to Aetheris if he wasn’t busy.

Marc was left confused. Was that truly Connor–the guy who always put business first?

He could only wail over the phone after Connor hung up.

Meanwhile, back at Evermount Villa, Tess had already put Layla to bed. She sat on the couch, her face tight with resentment, ready to confront Finn.

“Where are the Embers?” she demanded sharply.

She couldn’t believe Finn had used such a flimsy excuse. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

“Forget the Embers. If I let you and Connor flirt in public, you’d probably be filing a marriage certificate in minutes.”

Finn scoffed, his eyes full of mockery and displeasure.

Tess snapped back without hesitation, “We can do that. But let’s sign the divorce papers first, so I don’t get accused of bigamy.”

She then turned around, heading for her room to grab the divorce papers.

Finn’s eyes went cold, and he grabbed her wrist tightly. “Tess, are you trying to piss me off?”

His words came out between clenched teeth, full of obsession and resentment.

Tess stared up at him. “Aren’t you the one forcing me? We don’t have any feelings for each other. Why drag this out? Let’s get a divorce. It’s better for both of us.”

Her cheeks were tense as she tried to pull free from his grip.

Something snapped in Finn at that moment.

No feelings? How could she say that? He knew how much she had once loved him!

Finn’s chest heaved sharply. Without hesitation, he pulled her into a tight embrace.

His cold breath hit her neck, making Tess freeze.

“I disagree!” He growled with clenched teeth, pure anger in his voice.

Tess sensed trouble. But before she could react, Finn had already lifted her horizontally.

Her body swung into the air.

Tess‘ eyes went wide as she struggled. “Finn! Are you crazy?!”

Finn stayed completely cold, like a statue, carrying her away.

She recognized that he was carrying her to his bedroom.

Cursing silently, she kicked and twisted even harder. “Let me go! If you don’t, I swear I’ll hate you forever!”

Tess could only force out those sharp words. At last, Finn’s eyes flicked to hers.

She froze.

His eyes held a proud yet icy emptiness, like a vengeful spirit stripped of its soul.

A dark, obsessive smirk crossed his face. “Then hate me.”

Bang! The door slammed behind them.

Tess, still dazed, barely had time to react before Finn flung her onto the bed.

Veins bulging, he yanked at his tie.

Snapping fully awake, she struggled wildly. “Finn, you maniac! Don’t you dare touch me! I

won’t forgive you–Mmm!”

Her words were cut off as his lips crushed hers.

Tess‘ eyes, already wide, widened even more in fear as she stared at the man pressing himself against her, his eyes shut tight.

“Finn…

Mmm…

He held her hands firmly above her head.

She felt completely exposed, like a fish out of water, shame washing over her.

Finn didn’t open his eyes, leaving it unclear whether he was lost in the moment or purposely avoiding seeing her discomfort.

He pried her teeth apart and forced their tongues together.

The kiss was intense. His breathing grew heavier, more ragged.

Tess felt like she could barely breathe. Her vision blurred from the lack of air.

Just when she expected him to keep going, he pulled back.

His warm breath brushed her neck, and his husky voice, full of desire, murmured, “Hate me… Better not let me go forever.”

He let out a low chuckle. There was no triumph in it, only a deep, sad resonance.

Tess frowned, and then she stiffened.
