Dawn didn’t respond to him. She walked the factory from end to end. Aside from the regr staff, nearly all the execs had been swapped out for Christian’s people.
Her brow twitched, just a little.
Christian knew exactly what he was doing.
Right before they entered theb, he stepped ahead and stopped everyone outside. He smiled as he gave a casual exnation. “Sorry. Some of the forms and research here are sensitive. I need to talk privately with our lead scientist first. Please wait out here for now.”
Roxanne moved to follow him, but Christian looked at her with a nd expression and raised a hand to pat her on the head.
“You should probably stay out here and catch up with your old friend, don’t you think?”
It wasn’t just a bad excuse. It was borderline insulting.
Roxanne knew exactly what it meant. He didn’t trust her. No matter how hard she pretended to be aligned with him, Christian never believed a word of it.
She clenched her jaw and stood there as theb door shut right in her face.
When she turned around, she locked straight onto Dawn.
“Does this make you happy? Seeing me like this?”
Dawn nced around, then gave her a look like she belonged in a psych ward. “Roxanne, are you seriously losing it?”
Roxanne’s fury rose in her chest and got stuck there, choking her. “Did you really just insult me?”
“Yeah. I did.” Dawn stepped back with a disgusted frown. “Even if you got yourself into this mess by ident, I wouldn’t waste even one second feeling happy about it. So stop ttering yourself.”
“You bitch!”
Roxanne’s breathing turned ragged. Her eyes went red around the edges.
She turned instinctively toward Ethan. That was the man she had loved with everything she

had. But right now, he didn’t even nce her way. His full attention was on someone else. And the way he looked at her–soft, protective–it made Roxanne feel like she was being stabbed in the gut.
“I don’t get it! You’re not even his real daughter! Why would he leave it all to you? I gave more. I did more. I lived up to everything he ever wanted!”
And what did she get?
Nothing. Not even what a stranger would’ve gotten.
“If it’s killing you that bad, you can go ask him yourself.”
Vincent had died three months ago in prison from cancer.
He didn’t even live long enough to get sentenced.
Dawn’s eyes were cold. No warmth. No emotion.
“You think I wanted all this trash he left behind?” To her, it was just a bottomless pit of chaos. If she had her way, she’d rather run a tiny little shop and live quietly. Not like this.
Not like now, where even the people close to her had to carry the risk.
“Roxanne.”
Dawn’s stare turned sharp and icy. Her voice was t and dangerous. “I don’t care if you keep ying the rich girl. You want to be Stonewarden’s golden princess? Go for it. But if you pull something like this again, I’ll send you straight to where your darling father went. Try me.”
Roxanne’s lips parted. Nothing came out. They just trembled.
This woman wasn’t normal. She waspletely unhinged.
And she meant every word.
That was the part that scared her.
The air got heavy. Neither of them spoke. Dawn turned her face away. Mason, sharp as ever, stepped between them. His eyes locked on Roxanne, full of warning.
Roxanne’s nails dug into her palms. Her body shook with rage, but something else crept in
with it.
Grief. Her dad was gone. Her house was gone. She had absolutely nothing left.

It was just her.

Her, and the woman she hated so much she couldn’t breathe. The same woman she envied with everything she had.
Two minutes passed before Christian walked out of theb. He smiled like nothing had happened. But the smile didn’t reach his eyes. It was the kind of fake, polished smile that came with strings attached.
“Thanks for waiting. Come in.”
Dawn turned her head and locked eyes with Ethan across the space.
For a split second, it felt like the air between them sparked.
Then everything returned to normal.
They stepped inside. Everyone in theb wore clean coats and safety sses. The setup actually looked legitimate.
Christian acted like a pro. He gestured at different containers as he spoke. This one held something patented. That one was exclusive to their line.
Dawn didn’t understand a thing he said. All she saw was a firetrap waiting to happen.
The entire room was filled with mmable chemicals. One slip and this ce would explode.
What surprised her was that Christian really had set theb up right here. And behind it? The entire production floor.
She nced around the space, taking it in. Then she raised her hand and asked, “Sorry, where’s the restroom?”
The people who had been talking stopped and turned to her.
Christian looked confused. “Ms. West?”
“Apologies. My stomach’s been acting up.” Dawn pressed her hand lightly against her side. “I need to find the restroom.”
A sharp scoffing sound broke the quiet. It cut through the room like a dry, mocking rasp.

Roxanne rolled her eyes. “Jesus, you’re such a damn diva.”
