    **Chapter 324 Third-Person View**


    Roxanne’sughter hung in the air, a sharp contrast to the tension that crackled between her and Ethan. “So, are you really telling me that you and Dawn are married? You’re not the only one who’s said it—she’s mentioned it too.”


    “But I’m not scared,” she continued, her voice yful yetced with an undercurrent of defiance.


    Ethan’s expression hardened, his eyes narrowing. “And what do you think she’ll do? Hit you?”


    A smirk danced on her lips as she leaned closer, her confidence unwavering. “Ethan, you can’t touch me. You wouldn’t even dare toy a finger on me.”


    There was a teasing lilt to her voice, but the conviction behind it was palpable, making her words feel almost like a challenge.


    In an instant, Ethan’s hand shot out, fingers wrapping around her throat with a vice-like grip. The muscles in his jaw clenched, transforming his striking features into a mask of raw, untamed fury. Roxanne’s feet barely skimmed the ground as the pressure constricted her windpipe, the world around her fading into a blur.


    “I wouldn’t dare?” he echoed, his voice dripping with icy disdain. A chillingugh escaped his lips, cutting through the tension like a knife. “You’re right. I can’t bring myself to hit you. Because hitting you would never be enough. Sometimes, I wish I could just end you.”


    Roxanne’s breath came in desperate gasps, her body instinctively fighting against his hold. She wed at his wrist, summoning every ounce of strength she had, but the world was beginning to dim around her.


    Three agonizing secondster, he released her. She crumpled to the ground, coughing violently, desperate for air as her lungs burned. It took an eternity for her to regain her breath, her eyes watering and face flushed.


    But instead of fear, a wild, defiantughter erupted from her. “Before you do anything drastic, I want to see you and Dawn get divorced first. When are you nning to bring that up?”


    The night cloaked Ethan’s features in shadows, his expression inscrutable. He remained silent, his gaze a tempest of emotions as he stared at her, an inner battle raging behind his dark eyes. After what felt like an eternity, he turned and strode toward the car.


    The door mmed shut with a resounding thud that echoed in the stillness of the night. The silver Maybach roared to life, tires screeching as it sped away, nearly grazing Roxanne’s legs.


    She stood frozen for a moment, eyes closed, feeling the pulse of her own heartbeat against her temples.


    Deep down, she understood that Ethan harbored no love for her—if anything, he likely loathed her for the relentless pressure she had been applyingtely.


    But so what?


    Men were like fruit hanging from a tree. You’d never know if they were sweet until you plucked them.


    —


    After a brief moment of stillness, Roxanne was oblivious to the presence of Dawn, who had been watching from a distance. Once she regained herposure, she slipped into her own car and drove away, leaving the tense atmosphere behind.


    Dawn, on the other hand, felt a chill run down her spine as she stood there, her face pale against the backdrop of the dimly lit night.


    The ride back to Seabrook was enveloped in an eerie silence, the kind that settled over two people who carried secrets too heavy to share.


    Upon their arrival, Jonathan intercepted Dawn just as she was about to ascend the stairs.


    “You…” he began, but she cut him off.


    “Whatever it is, save it for tomorrow. I’m exhausted,” she replied curtly, her fatigue weighing heavily on her.


    All she craved was the sce of sleep, a reprieve from the chaos of the evening.


    As soon as she stepped into her room, she began unzipping her dress, letting it cascade down her body until it pooled on the floor, revealing her wless figure.


    She intended to take a shower to wash away the day’s stress, but something under the dresser caught her eye. Curiosity piqued, she bent down and retrieved a phone—Ethan’s phone, the very one he had given her.


    The device had been rendered useless since Jonathan installed signal blockers in the house, and she hadn’t touched it since it lost its functionality. Yet, surprisingly, it was still powered on.


    With a mix of trepidation and intrigue, Dawn unlocked the screen and began to swipe through the contents.


    Her finger hovered over the photo gallery icon for a fleeting moment before she tapped it, her heart racing.


    Inside, she found a collection of images—mostly mundane work screenshots, but one album was password-protected.


    She hesitated, a flutter of anxiety in her stomach, then typed in a sequence of numbers.


    The album opened.


    Dawn’s breath caught in her throat as she gazed at the photos.


    Hundreds of them—each one a snapshot of her life. Some taken from odd angles, others while she slept, capturing her in moments of vulnerability.


    Ethan had an undeniable talent for photography; seeing herself through his lens felt both strange and intimately revealing.


    She scrolled through each image, entranced, until the phone finally sumbed to battery fatigue and shut off.


    Letting out a shaky breath, she whispered to herself, “Ethan… what are you trying to do? What is it that I’m not supposed to know?”


    —


    After viewing those photos, the weight in her chest felt slightly lighter. At least now, she grasped one crucial truth:


    No amount of overthinking would alter the present. What truly mattered was uncovering what Jonathan and Roxanne were after.


    The following morning, after a hasty breakfast, Dawn concocted an excuse to venture out. She anticipated a lengthy debate with the bodyguards, but to her astonishment, they granted her permission without hesitation.


    Something about that felt off. A frown creased her brow. “On second thought, maybe I shouldn’t go.”


    The guards remained silent, their expressions unreadable.


    Yet, the restless pacing around the house was driving her to the brink of madness, so she ultimately relented and stepped outside.


    Just as she approached the neighborhood gate, she froze in her tracks.


    “Daniel?”


    What on earth was he doing here?


    Upon spotting her, Daniel’s face lit up with a flicker of relief, quickly masked by a polite smile. “Ms. Porter. What a coincidence.”


    “Not really,” she replied, her expression devoid of warmth, her tone cautious. “Mr. Brown, you weren’t waiting here for me, were you?”


    It was work hours, and this location was miles away from Stonewarden Group’s Northville branch. There was no logical reason for him to be there.


    Daniel lowered his gaze, a faint smile gracing his lips. “You’re as perceptive as always. Yes, I was waiting for you. There’s something important we need to discuss.”Conclusion


    In the aftermath of their confrontation, Roxanne stood resolute, herughter echoing defiantly against the darkness that enveloped her. Though Ethan’s grip had momentarily threatened to extinguish her spirit, it only served to ignite a fiercer determination within her. She understood the stakes of their twisted game, the emotional chessboard they yed upon, and while Ethan’s fury was palpable, it was her own resilience that emerged as the true victor. As the roar of his departing car faded into the night, she felt a surge of rity wash over her—a realization that the battle was far from over, and she was more than willing to fight for her ce in it.
