A wry smile played on Blayzes face.
Rita especially emphasized that taking Sabrina to the Fowler family was Horaces idea.
Horaces ploy surfaced. Was Horace trying to make Sabrina his stepsister to prevent him from making advances toward Sabrina? Well, Blayze wouldnt let Horace have it his way.
Blayze sensed Ritas words bore weight.
And whats your take on this? Blayze asked, smirking.
Your father doesnt know Sabrina has been separated from me for over twenty years. How could feelings blossom under such circumstances?
The fact that Sabrina doesnt detest me is a good thing. Sierra, nurtured by me, is astute. Shes akin to my daughter. I wont watch her life get ruined by going to jail!
And?
I heard of your fondness for Sabrina. Im her biological mother.

Give me your word you wont hand Sierra over to the Garrett family, and I can help you with chasing after Sabrina. What do you say?
How?
Rita clenched her fingers. Glancing around, she lowered her voice.
Blayze, who held the phone, listened to Ritas schemes and said nothing.
Ritas heart raced, awaiting Blayzes response.
She was betting.
After a long while, Blayze said, Okay, I promise you.
A triumphant smile formed on Ritas face. She won the bet.
But shes not the type that just eats anything from others. Rita fretted.
From the other end, Blayzes voice, clear and composed, resonated, Some days ago, I received an experimental drug. Its rumored to take effect once its aroma dissipates. You should take the antidote first, he explained.
To flatter him, his associates showered him with diverse gifts.
Blayze never anticipated its utility until now.
Rubbing the phones back, Blayze lowered his gaze, a hint of darkness lurking within.
If Tyrone discovered this, hed be incensed.
As for Sabrina, he vowed to make amends when they were together.

Send someone to deliver it, said Rita.
The following morning, Rita called Sabrina again.
Have you pondered over the understanding letter? Rita inquired.
Sabrinas fingers tightened.
Betties intuition was accurate. Blayze acquiesced in Ritas visit.
However, Sabrina harbored scant hope in Blayzes ability to stop Rita from pestering her.
She didnt want Tyrone to be targeted by the Garrett family and the Fowler family. After deliberation, she opted to settle.
It wasnt worthwhile to stick to her pride and dignity at the price of the potential harm inflicted on Tyrone.
Ive made my decision. Lets meet tonight, Sabrina said.
Fine. Which restaurant do you prefer? Ill make a reservation, Rita offered.
Sabrina chose one at random.
She didnt know that Tyrone was on a business trip until Jennie came downstairs and told her about it last night. Jennie had expressed her wish to spend time with Sabrina tonight. Sabrina had agreed.
After the shooting, Sabrina called Karen to inform Jennie of her late return tonight. Then, she proceeded directly to the restaurant.
Thankfully, Tyrone wasnt present. If he was here, he would definitely stop her from drafting the letter of understanding for Brady.
Upon reaching the restaurant, Sabrina saw Rita was already seated, awaiting her arrival.
Seeing Sabrina, Rita greeted her warmly, Ah, youve arrived. Please, take a seat.
