Felicia didn't have tto respond before the sound of keys turning in the door lock echoed through the
room.
Panic surged through her.
She couldn't let them know Stephan was there. In a moment of desperation, she shoved him into the closet.
Then, she quickly jumped onto her bed and grabbed a book from the nightstand. Inside the closet, Stephan was
bewildered. The space was cramped, filled with Felicia's lingering scent-a light, delicate fragrance that was
almost floral.
His jaw tightened, and his lips pressed together. At that moment, Myra and the others burst into the room.
Felicia frowned while sitting on the bed. She asked, "What's going on? It's late."
Seeing her safe, Myra let out a sigh of relief. "Licia, are you reading? Did you close the window? No one cin

"No one."Felicia kept her expression calm.
She put down her book and asked, "What was all that noise? Did someone break in?"
"Yes, but don't worry. The guards are handling it. The house is secure.
"That's good. | need to sleep now,"
"Goodnight, Licia," Myra said before retreating with the others.
Felicia threw back her covers and got out of bed. She carefully locked the door before gently opening the closet.
She stood before a collection of hanging clothes, where Stephan's tall figure was forced to bend awkwardly. His
expression was one of disdain, clearly exasperated by the situation.
He was surrounded by a jumble of frilly, colorful dresses, creating a comical scene that was oddly amusing.
However, Felicia's amusement quickly faded. Stephan stepped out from the cramped space, astonishingly not
holding her previous actions against her.
Instead, he said, "Alright, let's go."
Felicia froze, her expression stiffened. "Mr. Russell, let's be reasonable. | did that to protect you, there was no
other intention."
His lips curled into a sardonic smile, his tone cold and domineering as always. "I don't play by the rules."
It was clear that there would be no reasoning with him
Felicia gritted her teeth. No wonder the rumors about Stephan labeled him as a "living nightmare"
This man could turn hostile in an instant.
She asked, "Where are you taking me?"
Stephan shot her a glance and replied leisurely, "Don't you know medicine? Cwithto save someone. The
payment is one million dollars." "One million dollars!" Felicia's eyes widened with excitement.

genuine. "Shall we leave now?"
Her eyes sparkled like stars. Her face, untouched by makeup, appeared flawless and captivating.
Stephan averted his gaze and tilted his chin, signaling Felicia to open the window.

Felicia was taken aback. "You want to leave from there?"
She remembered how Stephan had entered through the swindow, but she lacked the acrobatic skills. to
jump down. As she hesitated, Stephan moved with a swift grace, landing safely on the ground below. The guards
had already searched the area, so they were safe for now. As for the surveillance footage, Stephan was confident
that he could wipe them clean,
Standing on the windowsill, Felicia took a deep breath! She started to inch her way down like a climber. Though
her movements were slow, she felt safe.
Stephan glanced at the time, growing impatient. "Jump I'll catch you."
Felicia was unconcerned. She remembered the last lesson all too well.
There was no way she would risk contact with him again. She didn't want to be accused of throwing herself at
him..
Seeing Felicia's snail-like pace as she struggled to find a foothold, Stephan's expression darkened. He had little
patience left.
With a single leap, he grabbed her waist and lifted her effortlessly, pulling her back onto solid ground.
After a dizzying moment, Felicia found herself standing firmly on the ground. Behind her, Stephan released his
grip around her waist, his expression calm "Keep up."
