that Serene to the party.”


    “Your E?”


    “Yours, yours, all yours.”


    Jason ordered, “Drew, take Bryce here for a nice steamy bath, and let him have a bit of heavenly fun.”


    Bryce panicked, “Bro, are you out of your mind? I’m still a virgin!”


    Drew said with a hint of amusement, “Bryce, after you.”


    “Jason…”


    Bryce was led away by Drew, and Estre, stifling a yawn, told Jason, “Alright, Mr. Jason, since


    everything’s sorted, you can see yourself out.”


    Instead of leaving, Jason pulled Estre close, “You think you can hide your guy from me and get off


    that easy?”


    Estre poked at his chest in disagreement, “Ask yourself, is Bryce neves?”

    Jason found himself at a loss for words. After a moment of silence, he finally said, “Let’s not talk about


    Bryce. Let’s settle tonight’s score.”


    Estre stood up from his embrace,ughing, “You mean for bringing another woman t the g?”


    Knowing he was in the wrong, Jason stood as well, “Time for a bath and bed.”

    Estre wasn’t having it, grabbing his arm, “Hold on. We haven’t settled the score for me dismissing


    you earlier.”


    Since Jason was on shaky ground there too, he rubbed his temples and said, “Estre, know when to


    quit.”


    “I never let anyone take advantage of me, Mr. Jason. If there are any unsettled scores…”


    Before Estre could finish, Jason turned around, pulled her into his arms, and nted a kiss on her


    lips. Whenever he couldn’t win an argument with Estre, Jason would kiss


    her.


    Estre pushed him away, a burst of rage following, “Jason, you’ve got some nerve! Making a scene


    herete at night and then trying to take advantage of me? You’re too used to getting your way!”

    “Keep your dirty hands to yourself.” She pushed him out the door, throwing his jacket after him, “Go find


    someone else to bug. Just stay away from me.”


    Jason snapped as well, “Estre.”

    “Get lost!” With that, she mmed the door on him, leaving him fuming outside.


    Damn it, he thought, twenty-six years old and he’d never been treated like this. “Estre, open the


    damn door.”


    She ignored him.


    “Estre.”


    Still no response..


    After several shouts, Jason finally exined, “Last time I tried to sleep with you but you refused, so I


    was trying to tick you off tonight.”


    Meanwhile, Estre had already retreated to her bedroom. It was her house, and she’d kick o


    whoever she wanted.


    After yelling to no avail, Jason eventually kicked the door in frustration and muttered, “Such a temper.”


    “Sir, we’ve hadints of disturbance and breaking and entering,” announced themunity


    security as Jason withdrew his foot.


    Damn you, Estre, he thought, conceding defeat.


    With Bryce gone and Jason finally leaving, Estre’s world returned to peace, and after a refreshing


    bath, she copsed into bed and was soon fast asleep.


    The next morning, Estre was rudely awakened by a relentless series of calls. She groggily fumbled


    for her phone beneath her pillow, her eyes still closed. “Who is it?” she mumbled.


    On the other end, Kristin’s voice crackled with urgency, “Estre, Grandpa is throwing a fit. You need to


    get yourself over to the family estate, pronto.”


    Estre indulged in a few more moments of shut-eye before replying with anguid, “Okay,


    got it.”


    “Don’t you be dawdling in bed, youngdy. Get yourself over here,” Kristin admonished before


    muttering to herself, “These kids nowadays, not a single one that doesn’t give me headaches.”


    Estre simply listened as Kristin vented her frustration.


    After hanging up, Estre reluctantly peeled herself from thefort of her bed. As she freshened up,


    Jesse updated her. Apparently, Janie had just held a press conference iming the previous night’s


    scandal was a big misunderstanding, and she’d been set up. Regardless, the Lamont family had pulled

    Ravenwood was abuzz with the scandal,


    By the time Estre pulled up to the Nelson estate in her Audi, the senior members of the family were


    already assembled. Jason and Bryce had also made an appearance.


    Bryce looked particrly rough around the edges, with dark circles that could rival a panda’s. Had


    Jason done a number on him? Had he taken a leaf out of Estre’s book and saddled Bryce with a


    bevy of beauties?
