Orion quickly contacted the hotel's security, given its ownership by the Arvessos. Taking charge, he escorted the unidentified man to the security office, where an interrogation was set to unravel the motives behind his intent to harm Erin. "I doubt he's the individual who entered your penthouse. Have you encountered this person only twice?" Orion inquired of Erin. "I'm not familiar with him. Even during my time in the modeling industry, I never encountered the unsettling experience of being followed by a stalker," Erin responded. The mystery deepened as Erin contemplated why she felt targeted only after leaving the modeling industry. Orion assured her of his commitment to the investigation and urged heightened security measures. "Erin, it's crucial to enhance your security. Avoid going out alone for now. Reach out to me or Marco if you need anything," Orion advised. Marco arrived and escorted her to the office. Meanwhile, a woman with short hair cascading down her neck

Marco welcomed Orion into the penthouse, granting him access to check on Erin. He gathered information about the occurrences at Yurich during the night. Finding Erin in the penthouse's outdoor area, Marco was the sole person he came across. "Fuck, O! I'm questioning whether what I'm involved in is still the right thing. I can't fathom why I'm here! Erin is a dear friend, and I can't shake this guilt about your actions," Marco confessed. Orion's expression soured as he realized Marco was privy to his original intentions regarding Erin. Marco pressed on, "Even if you haven't executed your initial plan, Yurich is slipping away from Erin's grasp. What's the next move? I feel terrible. Are you going to abandon Erin now? Is the promised marriage off the table? She loves you, O! It's evident how much she cares for you!" These questions lingered in Orion's mind. Had he accomplished his mission? Erin would gain nothing from Yurich Company. Was this his ultimate plan all along? "Erin

Orion felt a weight on his head as he absorbed Danica's revelation. "So, Jenna became Daryl's girlfriend?" he asked his sister, his anxiety growing with the newfound knowledge. "That just doesn't add up," he mumbled, prompting Danica to pay closer attention. "Why not?" Danica inquired, her confusion evident. "Daryl used my sports car to pick up Jenna that night," Orion explained as he retrieved his laptop. He proceeded to show Danica some images of his sports car, the vehicle Daryl had utilized during the accident. "Daryl had someone in the sports car. I noticed strands of hair in my car, and they were a match for Jenna's. During the investigation interview, Jenna came close to confessing that she had been in Daryl's car, but Erin intervened. "We were genuinely puzzled by their responses – none of them seemed to align with the events of that night. Erin, too, was in the dark about what truly transpired because she was heavily intoxicated." Danica's expression soured. "You m

Orion's expression darkened into a scowl as he picked up Erin from Zach's house and escorted her to her penthouse. Without uttering a word, he headed straight to his room and forcefully slammed his door. Feeling tension in the air, Erin massaged her temples, struggling to grasp the depth of Orion's jealousy. Fortunately, this time, he refrained from causing a scene at Zach's house as he had done in the past. Taking a seat on the spacious couch, Erin retrieved her laptop and set it on the center table. Seeking solace, she chatted with her AI friend, 'How can one seduce a man who harbors excessive jealousy towards a close friend?' Numerous suggestions appeared on her screen, advising her: 'Prepare his favorite meal; they say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.' 'Make his coffee.' 'Embrace and kiss him.' 'Ask him to join you for a date outdoors, and then send him a letter expressing your apologies.' Among these, Erin highlighted one that piqued her interest, rec

Erin and Orion strolled hand in hand along the bustling pedestrian area of Senado Square. The atmosphere was adorned with enchanting melodies from street musicians, casting a romantic spell over their evening. The enticing aroma of local delicacies filled the air, tempting Erin and Orion to sample some street food. They indulged in crispy egg tarts, almond cookies, and other delectable treats from the vendors lining the street. The couple ascended the iconic Ruins of St. Paul's to enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. In front of a small kingdom of stars, Orion asked Erin, "How's your date with me?" "It's wonderful, O! This is my first time in Macau, and I'm thrilled you brought me here," she replied. A delightful flutter of excitement warmed her chest as she gazed at Orion. "Our first official date has been so enjoyable. We're a world away from work and problems. I'm grateful you brought me to this special place." Erin embraced Orion's waist. "I want to make you ha
