Alistair’s deep, sensual voice munnured right by Audrey’s earlobe, sending a shiver down her spine as her ears
Audrey jabbed him in the stomach with her elbow, feigning a pout, “Cut it out”

rs turned a bright red.
Alistair knew she loved his voice, yet he kept teasing her like this on purpose.
“Alright, I won’t,” he replied innocently. But the next moment, he wrapped one arm around her waist and lifted her up effortlessly.
“Ah!” Audrey yelped, instinctively throwing her arms around his neck and kicking her legs in
in protest. “Alistair, put me down! What are you doing?
Being carried like a child, Audrey felt her face heat with embarrassment,
Ignoring her protests, Alistair carried her straight to the bedrooms, gently laying her down on the bed.
Their faces were mere inches apart, their noses almost touching
The atmosphere grew thick with tension, and Audrey’s cheeks flushed a deep red, her soft voice trembling. “What what are you planning to do?”
“He’s not thinking of making love again, is he? Audrey thought. ‘Didn’t we just… Last night?”
“I also want to hear a story,” Alistair murmured, his fingers threading through her hair as he gazed at her with a tender, lingering look.
Audrey’s lips curved into a small smile, her gaze innocent. “You’re not a little kid…
“Then I guess I’ll have to do what grown–ups do. Alistair whispered as he slid his warm hand under her shirt caressing her waist.
Audrey’s eyes widened, and she shivered, her lashes fluttering nervously. But she made no move to push him away.
Alistair leaned closer, his eyes tracing the curve of her lips with a palpable intensity, his deep voice coating. “Is this alright?”
For a moment, Audrey was at a loss for words
He carried me to bed like some rogue, yet now he’s pretending to be a gentleman; she complained to herself.
Blinking up at him. Audrey cupped his face in her hands and planted a light kiss on the corner of his mouth, then instinctively pulled back. But Alistair quickly held her by the nape, drawing her close.
As the distance between them closed, even with the bright light in the room, Audrey couldn’t make out his expression, only his suddenly quickened breaths.
Alistair parted her lips with gentle insistence, his kiss both soft and unyielding, deepening until she was breathless.
The kiss lasted so long that Audrey found herself gasping for air by the time Alistair finally pulled back.
Breathing heavily, he rolled off the bed, his hand absently brushing a stray lock of her hair from her face as he said in a husky voice. Tonight, you need a good rest. I’ll go take a shower.”
Audrey wasn’t sure how to respond. Just moments ago, she’d clearly felt Alistair’s desire
While a linde disappointed, she couldn’t help but feel warm inside at the way he prioritized her well–being, like being wrapped in a coupon of
Meanwhile, on the other side, Eliza shot up in bed, her face contorted in shock. “What? Noah’s been arrested?”
The sheet mask she’d been wearing slipped to the floor, but she didn’t even notice.
Sitting on the edge of her bed, Eliza took a deep breath to steady herself and continued asking. “Didn’t the Wright Family have someone powerful backing them? How did they get caught so easily!”
Noah but the
The person on the other end replied, “I don’t know the details, but it seems that woman has someone powerful helping her. Not just Noah b entire Wright family has been taken down.
“You’d better watch yourself. If people and our you instigated Noah to act against her, things might not end well for you
Eliza’s eyes widened in panic, her face going pale “Instigatedt I only had a casual chat with Noah! This has nothing to do with me.”
Despite her words, a wave of anxiety washed over Eliza. With her big break on Supergalactic Idol coming up, a scandal like this would ruin

Before the caller could say more. Eliza quickly hung up. She immediately deleted all traces of their conversation and blocked the contact.
.
After processing all the evidence and calming down, Eliza began wondering who could have helped Audrey.
Audrey was no longer the Rhodes family’s heiress and was soon to leave the company. With her diminished status, it seemed unlikely anyone from the Rhodes family would step in to help.
“Could it be Dominic? No way, she thought
Not only would Dominic probably hold a grudge over Audrey’s recent troubles, but even if he didn’t, his influence alone wouldn’t be enough to bring down the Wright family so swiftly unless his parents got involved.
But both of them despised Audrey. They’d never support her.
Or maybe Logan? Yes, it has to be him. Eliza concluded.
The Barrett family was one of the few in Riverdale with the clout to swiftly topple the Wright family and rescue Audrey.
Eliza clenched her fists in frustration. Why is Audrey always so lucky?” she fumed internally. ‘No, I can’t just sit back and watch. I need to secure that spot on the talent show as soon as possible.
Only by shining on the show could Eliza hope to thoroughly outshine Audrey once and for all.
