Upon hearing her, Xander followed her line of sight to the nearby cruise ship, now a whirlwind of activity. Passengers poured onto the lifeboats in a chaotic scramble, panic evident on their faces. "Hey, Boss! What do you think? Quite the spectacle, right?" Beowulf exclaimed, clearly enjoying the unfolding scene.

"What happened? Did you create smash a hole through the ship's hull?" Isabel frowned, torn between amusement at Kaleb and Eva's misfortune and concern for the innocent bystanders caught in the turmoil. "Not at all! I would never stoop to something illegal or cruel. I merely had a chat with the crew. They were told to yell that the ship was sinking when Kaleb and Eva exchanged their vows!"

"So, the ship is actually safe?"

"Of course!"

Isabel breathed a sigh of relief, her gaze drifting back to the cruise ship. A satisfied smile spread across her face.

She had always believed in retribution; when someone wronged her, she returned the favor.

Eva had shattered her wedding plans, damaged her reputation, and made her suffer. Disrupting Eva's wedding once felt too little.

As she absorbed the drama unfolding before her, Xander's deep voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Do you really not want to see them tie the knot?"

Without hesitation, Isabel replied, "I don't forget easily. Kaleb spilled coffee all over you that day at the café. How could I let them off the hook?"

At her words, a light shone in Xander's eyes. He took her shoulders, his gaze fierce and filled with joy. "So, you're defending me? You actually care?"

Caught in his intense stare, Isabel felt an unexpected warmth bloom within her.

"Um, I just look out for the people I care about. I can't watch someone close to me be mistreated."

Is that really all there is to it?

Xander's expression softened, and he let out a sigh. He chose to savor the moment, allowing the air to thicken with unspoken words.

An uncomfortable silence enveloped them, prompting Isabel to redirect the conversation.

"I'm so hungry! Didn't you mention dinner? Where is it? In the restaurant?" She stepped away from Xander's grasp and moved toward the dining area, eager to escape the tension. Xander quickened his pace to catch up, a look of confusion etched on his face. "How do you know the restaurant is that way?"
