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. Let’s settle the score, shall we?”
Elizabeth’s gaze hardened, but she kept her voice steady. “Money’s all it’s about. I’ll pay you soon. And Matthew’s still on your tail.
You’re risking a lot being here.”
At the mention of Matthew, Leo tensed briefly before relaxing.
“It’s not just about the money,” he snapped. “You owe me for what Stella couldn’t provide.”
Elizabeth stayed composed, slipping her hand into her bag and discreetly hitting record on her phone.
She put on a smile, feigning calm. “What? Not satisfied with Stella?
Trying to drag me into your mess?”
“Don’t you dare bring up Stella! You and she ruined me! You’re all the same—bitches!”
Elizabeth felt a surge of fear at his erratic behavior. Clenching her fists, she trembled slightly. “Leo, calm down. Let’s not do anything foolish. I’ll give you what you want.”

With a sudden shove, he pushed Elizabeth, causing her to stagger and clutch at the wall for support.
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.
