that Serene to the party.”
“Your Ella?”
“Yours, yours, all yours.”
Jason ordered, “Drew, take Bryce here for a nice steamy bath, and let him have a
bit of heavenly fun.”
Bryce panicked, “Bro, are you out of your mind? I'm still a virgin!”
Drew said with a hint of amusement, “Bryce, after you.”
“Jason...”
Bryce was led away by Drew, and Estrella, stifling a yawn, told Jason, “Alright,
Mr. Jason, since everything's sorted, you can see yourself out.”
Instead of leaving, Jason pulled Estrella close, “You think you can hide your guy
from me and get off that easy?”
Estrella poked at his chest in disagreement, “Ask yourself, is Bryce neves?”

Jason found himself at a loss for words. After a moment of silence, he finally
said, “Let's not talk about Bryce. Let's settle tonight's score.”
Estrella stood up from his embrace, laughing, “You mean for bringing another
woman t the gala?”
Knowing he was in the wrong, Jason stood as well, “Time for a bath and bed.”

Estrella wasn't having it, grabbing his arm, “Hold on. We haven't settled the score
for me dismissing you earlier.”
Since Jason was on shaky ground there too, he rubbed his temples and said,
“Estrella, know when to quit.”
“I never let anyone take advantage of me, Mr. Jason. If there are any unsettled
scores...”
Before Estrella could finish, Jason turned around, pulled her into his arms, and
planted a kiss on her lips. Whenever he couldn’t win an argument with Estrella,
Jason would kiss
her.
Estrella pushed him away, a burst of rage following, “Jason, you've got some
nerve! Making a scene here late at night and then trying to take advantage of
me? You're too used to getting your way!”
“Keep your dirty hands to yourself.” She pushed him out the door, throwing his
jacket after him, “Go find someone else to bug. Just stay away from me.”
Jason snapped as well, “Estrella.”

“Get lost!” With that, she slammed the door on him, leaving him fuming outside.
Damn it, he thought, twenty-six years old and he’d never been treated like this.
“Estrella, open the damn door.”
She ignored him.
“Estrella.”
Still no response.
After several shouts, Jason finally explained, “Last time I tried to sleep with you
but you refused, so I was trying to tick you off tonight.”
Meanwhile, Estrella had already retreated to her bedroom. It was her house, and
she'd kick o
whoever she wanted.
After yelling to no avail, Jason eventually kicked the door in frustration and
muttered, “Such a temper.”
“Sir, we've had complaints of disturbance and breaking and entering,” announced
the community security as Jason withdrew his foot.
Damn you, Estrella, he thought, conceding defeat.
With Bryce gone and Jason finally leaving, Estrella’s world returned to peace,
and after a refreshing bath, she collapsed into bed and was soon fast asleep.
The next morning, Estrella was rudely awakened by a relentless series of calls.
She groggily fumbled for her phone beneath her pillow, her eyes still closed.
“Who is it?" she mumbled.
On the other end, Kristin's voice crackled with urgency, “Estrella, Grandpa is
throwing a fit. You need to get yourself over to the family estate, pronto.”
Estrella indulged in a few more moments of shut-eye before replying with a
languid, “Okay,
got it.”
