From his vantage point, Andrew saw the malepanions dancing.


    His expression grew cold as he fixed his gaze on Evie.


    “Do you have a death wish?”


    Typically, Evie would have been intimidated by such a tone, but in her drunken state, she defiantly responded, “No way.


    I’m having too much fun to wish that!”


    She ended the call abruptly and dragged Madisyn onto the dance floor.


    Caught up in the excitement, Madisyn quickly forgot her concerns and lost herself in the beat of the music.


    They danced and partied as if there was no tomorrow.


    On the following morning, the sunlight gently streamed into the bedroom.


    When Madisyn awoke, she felt a throbbing headache.


    As she opened her eyes and took in the familiar surroundings, she felt a bit disoriented.


    She recalled being at a bar the night before, but how had she gotten home?


    Madisyn shook her head, trying to push away the headache.


    She decided not to dwell on it for now.


    After freshening up, she went downstairs for breakfast.novelbin


    ine and Dane looked up as she entered the dining room.


    “Good morning, Mom, Dane,” Madisyn greeted with a cheerful smile.


    Noticing their strange looks, she asked, “Is something wrong? Is there something on my face?”


    “Nothing at all.


    Are you hungry? Please, have breakfast,” ine replied with her usual warmth.


    Madisyn took her seat and began to eat.


    As she slowly collected her thoughts, memories of the previous night began toe back to her…


    She and Evie had both indulged in excessive drinking and danced wildly.


    In the midst of their revelry, the door swung open, and Andrew stormed in with a fierce expression, nked by his bodyguards.


    The bodyguards swiftly escorted Evie away, and Andrew led her to the car himself…


    Did Andrew bring her home?


    As she lifted a piece of bread to her mouth, it slipped from her fingers.


    Suddenly, everything about ine’s and Dane’s strange expressions made sense.


    With a touch of apprehension, she asked ine, “Mom, how did I get backst night?”


    ine and Dane exchanged uneasy nces before ine replied, “Andrew drove you home.


    Did you have a disagreement with him?”


    “No, not at all,” Madisyn replied, feeling a twinge of guilt.
