Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Outside, the muffled sounds of a woman moving around could be heard. Leo stormed out and barked, "Whatever you dragged into the bathroom, get it out, now!" Leo's booming voice seemed to shake the woman, making her cry softly. Anya hurried out, grabbing Leo by the arm and pulling him back into the bedroom.

Before they went back inside, Leo pointed at the woman and shouted, "Did you hear me? If you mess with my girlfriend again, you'll regret it." Finally, Anya managed to push Leo back into the bedroom and shut the door behind them. Anya had a gut feeling that the woman was trouble. She decided to stay with Leo through the night, refusing to leave his side.

The household was in a frenzy. Leo, knowing he was partly to blame, tried to calm Anya down. "Anya, you know me better than this. That woman grosses me out. I'd never betray you. Come on, be a good girl and trust me."

It was getting late, and despite Leo's pleas, Anya stubbornly scratched her head and refused to leave.

Eventually, Molly, following her dad's instructions, showed up with Chad after dinner to check on Anya.

By then, the bathroom was 'cleaned,' but the woman still dressed provocatively. Spotting Chad, her eyes lit up with admiration. "Hey, are you here to check out the place too?"

Molly stepped in between them, arms crossed, eyeing the woman up and down. "Let's see what kind of woman dares to call my husband 'brother'."

Anya rushed over and pulled Molly away. "Auntie, keep your distance from her."

Molly, with her commanding presence, sized the woman up. "Chad, should we investigate this woman? I have a hunch she's involved in some shady business."

The woman's gaze shifted to Chad, and Officer Chad was still basking in the glow of Molly calling him "my husband," his lips curled in a soft smile.

The woman took out her phone. "Are you a cop? Can I have your contact info in case I run into danger?"

Anya, fuming, charged forward and knocked the phone out of her hand. "If you dare add my uncle, I dare to slap you."

Molly wrapped an arm around Anya's shoulder. "Chad, maybe contact vice squad and keep an eye on this place."

After that, Molly headed into the rental, and Chad followed shortly after.
