Queenie looked up, taking in Stevenâs sharp and breathtaking features. His presence was overwhelming, those eyes devoid of emotion. This version of Steven made her incredibly uneasy.
She shook her head, playing the victim. âSteven, I donât know why sheâd try to frame me. Maybe sheâs just jealous of how much you dote on me.â
Stevenâs gaze grew even colder at her words.
He almost wished Diana was jealous.
He wished she would confront him like she used to, âSteven, weâre the ones who are married. Why are you having dinner alone with Queenie?â
Back then, he thought she was being unreasonable. Now, seeing her dining with Alexander, he finally understood Dianaâs fury.
Queenie watched Stevenâs face, unable to read his mood. Her emotions were on a rollercoaster. Just one look from him was
enough to send chills down herâspine.
Steven had never made her feel this way before.
But nowâ¦
âLetâs go,â Steven said coldly.

Queenie asked, puzzled, âSteven, why wonât you get divorced? Donât you love me anymore? You promised youâd marry me.
âYouâre not getting divorced, but youâre not marrying me
eitherâ¦â
âIâve been testing your character, Queenie. Your recent actions. have left me deeply disappointed.â
Steven turned and walked away.
Queenieâs face went pale as she watched his retreating figure, her expression darkening.
It was all that damn Dianaâs fault. If it werenât for Diana, Steven couldnât think she had a bad character!
Queenie ran after him to explain. âSteven, Diana set me up.
Youâ¦â
âWhat about the time you staged your own kidnapping? Did she hold a knife to your throat and force you to fake your own abduction?â
âThat was a mistake. I did it for you. I thought if I came back, youâd marry me. How could I do something like that otherwise? I only did it because I love you.â Queenieâs tears flowed freely. Her pale face and teary eyes made her look pitiful.
Steven didnât look at her as he strode down the stairs.

Queenie gritted her teeth as she watched Stevenâs back. This man really didnât understand love.

Growing up in a dysfunctional family, he didnât even know who he truly loved.
No matter. She knew how to handle him.
âDiana, youâre dead meat.â
Queenie pulled out her phone and fired off a message to Mario.
[Leak the news about Dianaâs plagiarism. Buy trending spots. Spare no expense. I want her reputation utterly destroyed.]
Mario replied: [Ms. Marsh, Dianaâs already trending. Leaking this now wonât have much impact. Plus, someoneâs suppressing the topic.]
[The other sideâs digging into this. Weâve done damage control, but they seem to know itâs you. They sent over a photo of you with Mr. Gellar.]
Queenie saw red when she looked at it. It was Diana!
She knew all along! No way! Steven hadnât divorced Diana yet. If this photo got out, Queenie would be branded a homewrecker.
Itâd tank her career. Steven was her meal ticket â acting was her fastest way to cash.
If Steven cut her off, she couldnât bring herself to beg,

Their relationship was already on thin ice.
Queenie headed downstairs, but instead of Steven, Evan was waiting by the curb.
Queenie approached him. âEvan, whereâs your boss?â

Evan smiled apologetically. âMr. Gellar had to leave. Iâm here to take you home, Ms. Marsh.â
Queenie gritted her teeth, her eyes still puffy from crying.
âHe didnât even wait for me,â she grumbled, glancing at the bustling street.
She knew Steven was slipping away. It felt like falling from grace, and it stung.
No, this couldnât happen!
Steven had to marry her! It was the only way he could quietly take his place as the Gellar family heir!
âLetâs go to Stevenâs villa.â Evan said nothing and drove her to Stevenâs place.
But she wouldnât be able to see Steven there anyway.
Diana and Alexander headed home together, as they lived in the same neighborhood.

Steven followed in his car. Alexander noticed and deliberately took a detour through the city.
Diana asked, puzzled, âWhatâs going on, Alexander? Why are we heading downtown?â
Alexander glanced in the rearview mirror, a flicker of anger in his eyes. âStevenâs tailing us.â
Diana was surprised. âWhy would Steven be following me?â
She remembered Stevenâs warning, insisting she return home tonight.
