---
Autumn sat in her car, her fingers gripping the steering wheel as she watched Sienna's retreating figure. The woman had just threatened her with talk of a criminal record, and though Autumn knew it was nothing but bluster – a desperate attempt to rattle her cage – the encounter left a bitter taste in her mouth. Sienna had always been good at two things: prancing around like a peacock and seizing every chance to make Autumn's life difficult.
"Autumn, you…!" Sienna's voice had trembled with fury, her chest heaving as Luna called from ahead, reminding her it was time to leave. With a haughty sniff and a sharp lift of her chin, Sienna strutted off, hips swaying like she owned the world.
But Autumn didn't give it another thought. She knew a clown's final bow when she saw one. Besides, she had bigger things to worry about.
She turned the wheel and drove home, the familiar streets passing in a blur. But when she reached her front door, her steps faltered. There, standing on the doorstep, were Keith and Vivian – close enough that from a distance, they looked like they were wrapped in each other's arms.
Instinct kicked in. Autumn spun on her heel, ready to retreat. But after two steps, she stopped herself. What was she doing? She hadn't done anything wrong. Why should she run? Why should she feel like she was the one sneaking around?
Keith's voice cut through the air like a sharp blade. "Why are you running?"
The sound of it made her scalp prickle. Embarrassment flooded her, hot and thick, as if she'd been caught spying. She turned back, forcing an awkward smile. "No, I just remembered I left something in the car. I was going to grab it."
She didn't know why, but every time she crossed paths with Keith, she felt as if he could see straight through her – into every secret, every hidden thought. And that feeling was deeply unsettling. She hated dealing with him because in front of him, there was no hiding.
"Is that so?" Keith stepped closer, his sharp, assessing gaze cutting straight through her. There was an edge to his tone, and it made her scalp tingle all over again. She couldn't guess what he was thinking, and the uncertainty made her pulse skip.
She bobbed her head in a quick nod, then turned to leave.
But then Vivian stepped forward and casually looped her hand through Keith's arm. "Keith, who's this?" she asked, her voice sweet as honey laced with poison.
Keith gave her a single, cool glance – sharp enough to make her feel as if a blade had grazed her skin. It rattled her, but she wasn't about to back down.
Autumn's steps faltered. Vivian had sought her out before. She already knew exactly who Autumn was. So why pretend? The only explanation was that Vivian didn't want Keith to know she'd met with Autumn in private. It was a game of manipulation, and Autumn was suddenly the pawn caught in the middle.
After a brief pause, Keith's lips parted, and two clipped words fell out. "My neighbor."
His gaze stayed locked on Autumn, as if testing for a reaction. But her expression didn't shift in the slightest. She gave him nothing. It was as if they really were nothing more than neighbors.
For some reason, that sparked an inexplicable irritation in him.
Vivian suddenly released Keith's arm and stepped up to Autumn, her smile dazzling but hollow. "Keith and I are getting engaged soon. Since you're his neighbor, would you like to come to our engagement party?"
The words hit Autumn like a slap. She knew what Vivian was doing – she'd already looked into Autumn's background. An orphan with no family, her mother passing away right after she graduated college. Someone like that shouldn't have been a threat. But then Vivian had discovered Keith's quiet help – the millions dropped on couture gowns, the private assistance. Vivian didn't believe for a second that it was all just to repay some supposed debt of gratitude.
And now Vivian was making her move, using the engagement invitation as a weapon. A way to stamp her territory, to show Autumn exactly where she stood.
Autumn met Vivian's gaze. The air between them crackled with unspoken tension. She could feel Keith's eyes on her, waiting, watching.
What would she say? What could she say?
The chapter ends there, leaving us breathless at the edge of this emotional cliff.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh, this chapter was a rollercoaster of emotions! I felt Autumn's internal struggle so deeply – the instinct to run, the embarrassment at being caught, the frustration of being trapped in a power play she never asked for. Vivian's sweetness is so fake you can taste the venom underneath, and Keith's cold "my neighbor" response? That cut deep. He’s clearly testing Autumn, but why? Is he disappointed she didn’t react? Or is he just as confused about their relationship as she is? This chapter perfectly builds tension and sets the stage for an explosive confrontation.
**Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.7 / 5 Stars)**
## Next Chapter Prediction
I predict that Autumn will accept the engagement invitation, not because she wants to, but because she refuses to back down from Vivian's challenge. But walking into that party will be like walking into a lion's den. I bet Keith will be watching her every move, and Vivian will have more "accidental" moments designed to humiliate her. And somewhere in the chaos, Sienna might make an appearance to stir the pot even more. Brace yourself for drama, betrayal, and maybe a moment where Keith's true feelings slip out!
