The tension in the air was almost visible, wrapping around Renee like an invisible weight pressing down on her chest. She had no idea why her heart felt like it was climbing into her throat, but then her phone shattered the silence with an abrupt, jarring ringtone. The name on the screen made her pause — Stefan Hunt, the man who could make her pulse race without even trying, and drive her absolutely insane at the exact same time. After only a brief hesitation, Renee swallowed her pride and answered.
Before she could even greet him, his voice exploded from the other end of the line, rough and blazing with irritation. “Finally! I thought you were dead!” Stefan bellowed, the words practically vibrating with barely controlled anger.
Renee winced, instinctively pulling the phone a safe distance from her ear to defend herself from the storm he had unleashed. But her lips twisted into a small, defiant smile as she coolly replied, “Why did you call me? Are we that close?”
Stefan gave a low, bitter chuckle, and she could almost picture the smug, practiced grin spreading across his face. “No, we’re not close,” he said mockingly, each word dripping with intention. “We’re just friends who slept with each other once. You’re right, I shouldn’t be acting like a busybody.”
The memory hit her like a wave of hot water, and Renee felt her cheeks flood with color. She snapped, her tone sharper than she intended, “Clearly, you have nothing better to do.” Then, forcing composure back into her voice, she added, “Tell me why you called, or I’m going to hang up.”
“Wait!” The urgency in his voice was unmistakable, like a man scrabbling to keep hold of something precious slipping through his fingers. He quickly asked, “Where are you now? Who are you with? Are you safe?”
Renee’s brows knitted together. There was no possible way she was going to reveal the truth to this man, not after everything. She countered, her words clipped, “How is that any of your business? All you need to know is that I’m safe. If I wasn’t, I wouldn’t have the time to speak to you on the phone, would I?”
Her deliberate calm was meant to sweep away any lingering doubt, but Stefan had been surviving on his instincts for a lifetime. Naturally cautious, he refused to let her slither away so easily. “Really? No, I won’t believe you... unless you have a video call with me.”
“What? No way!” Renee nearly sputtered at the audacity. “We’re not even friends, so what right do you have to check up on me?”
Stefan sighed, and for just a moment, the tension in his voice softened into something almost tender. “I’m not checking up on you. I’m just worried about you.” Then, with a renewed urgency, he pressed on. “Just tell me where you are. Do you need my help?”
Renee took a steadying breath. She knew that if she gave him even an inch, he would claw his way through the door. So she put up a wall of finality. “Listen, I’ll tell you one last time — I’m at my old friend’s house. We have a good relationship, and I have a very good life. You don’t have to worry about me. If you have that much time on your hands... you’d better worry about yourself.”
At first, she thought that would be the end of it. She wanted to hang up, to protect her fragile peace. But the echo of Adie’s words from earlier that week rang in her mind like an old bell, and she realized she couldn’t just walk away without leaving a seed of warning behind.
“What do you mean? Do you know something?” Stefan immediately asked, his senses igniting like a detective catching a scent.
Renee chose her words carefully, yet she refused to have him dig into her sources. “No, I don’t, but... I can tell you from experience that one’s partner can be the one that hurts them the most.” She paused, then spoke in a distant, almost warning tone. “Master Hunt, I heard that you’re a loyal and loving man. You love Miss Seraphina wholeheartedly, but I heard that she might not be the person you think she is. You’d better be careful.”
She felt like she had done enough. Renee had offered a single torch of truth to illuminate a path he had chosen to walk blindfolded. If his brain surgery went wrong, or if his relationship shattered before his eyes, it would be the result of his own deliberate stubbornness — his own harvest of seeds he refused to inspect.
On the other end, Stefan’s voice turned sharp. “Seraphina?” He frowned, his mind quickly sifting through all the possibilities. “When did you meet her?”
“We didn’t meet; this is just a reminder. Just forget what I said if you don’t want to know.” Renee recognized she was stepping dangerously close to the edge, involving herself in matters that could consume her. So she pulled back, forcing a mask of indifference onto her voice. “Okay, I’m going to have tea with my friend now. Bye.”
With that, she hung up quickly, cutting the thread before he could tug her any deeper. She released a long, shaky sigh, her chest heavy with a mix of exhaustion and regret. Her cheeks were still warm, her heart still unsteady, and a deep wave of shame washed over her. How was it that this man — who constantly brought chaos into her life — could still provoke such a raw, embarrassing reaction from the depths of her soul? She hated that part of herself, but she couldn’t deny it either.
As she sat there, staring at the blank screen of her phone, she couldn’t help but wonder: would Stefan listen to her warning? Would he ever uncover the truth about Seraphina? Or would he simply bury his head deeper in the sand, and keep walking toward a cliff that she could already see yawning ahead of him?
Only time would tell. And in Renee’s world, time always had a way of revealing everything.

**Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating**
Oh boy, this chapter was a heart-squeezing rollercoaster disguised as a single phone call! I loved the raw tension crackling between Renee and Stefan — the way he was so possessive yet so infuriatingly smug, and how she tried to build walls while her own heart kept betraying her. It felt completely real, like two people trying to dance without stepping on each other’s feet, but tripping over old feelings and unsaid words anyway. Renee’s inner conflict and her blush at that not-so-innocent reminder added such an authentic touch. And her warning about Seraphina? That mischievous little seed of truth has me grinning with anticipation! The only reason I’m not giving a perfect score is because the call ended far too soon for my greedy heart!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars

**Next Chapter Prediction**
I think the next chapter will show Stefan unable to shake Renee’s cryptic warning. He’ll start paying closer attention to Seraphina, maybe even begin investigating her behind her back — and soon he’ll uncover a suspicious secret that will shatter his vision of the woman he thought he loved. Meanwhile, Renee will try to go back to her peaceful life, but her heart won’t be so willing to let go. I predict we’re about to see serious cracks form in Stefan and Seraphina’s relationship, and once the curtain lifts, all hell is going to break loose!
