Selena dashed into the guest bedroom, slammed the door shut, and locked it with swift precision.

It wasn't long before Everett came storming after her, pounding on the door in frustration. "Selena, get out here!"

Selena just chuckled to herself. She wasn't naive. Who knew what could happen if she stepped out now? Everett had no sense of self-control; his feelings for Margot wouldn't stop him from crossing a line.
