Gavin said nothing and simply hung up the phone, his expression darkening by the second.

Behind him, Jolie's soft, pained whimpers filled the air. She was writhing on the bed, her delicate skin flushed a faint pink.

Gavin clenched his jaw, tugging at his tie. It had already loosened from when she'd pulled on it earlier, and with a rough yank, it came completely undone. Frustration simmered beneath his calm exterior.

Where was Selena? She was supposed to be replaceing help, but she still hadn't returned.

His frown deepened as he reached for the door, ready to leave.

"Please... help me..."

Her desperate voice, laced with a hint of a sob, echoed from behind him. The softness of it hit him like a lit match to his chest, sparking a heat he wasn't used to feeling.

"Please... I'll pay you... I won't take it for free..." Jolie's voice broke as tears streamed down her face. She was sobbing now, her words dripping with helplessness and shame, as if offering him money would somehow make her request more bearable. Gavin stood frozen for a moment, then unexpectedly, a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips. Was she seriously offering to pay him?

What did she think he was?

With a strange mix of emotions swirling inside him, he turned back and approached the bed, standing over her.

From above, he watched her squirm restlessly, her pale dress disheveled and tugged out of place, exposing a wide expanse of her flushed skin. She was still trying to tear at her clothes, sweat glistening on her forehead, her cheeks painted with a feverish red. The drug was clearly ravaging her, overtaking her body and mind.

Gavin's breathing grew heavier without him realizing it. Her face-so similar to Selena's-made the situation all the more disorienting.

Jolie was desperate, lost in the effects of the drug. Her reason had all but crumbled when suddenly, her lips were claimed in a fierce, unrelenting kiss.

The kiss wasn't tender or gentle-it was rough, almost consuming, as though the person on the other end was devouring her, demanding everything from her all at once.

It wasn't pleasant, not in the slightest. But Jolie didn't have time to protest, her body screaming for more, for something to finally soothe the unbearable heat within her.

In the haze of her blurred

consciousness, a sudden jolt of pain washed over Jolie, causing her body to tense and contract. She gasped for breath, her chest rising and

falling rapidly.

"Relax," a man's rough voice murmured close to her ear. But instead of calming her, her breathing grew more ragged, a soft whimper escaping her as everything spiraled into chaos.

...

Meanwhile, Selena had found Gernard and quickly explained the situation. Gernard, taking it seriously, sent the family doctor with her to replace Jolie.

But when they returned to the spot where they had left Jolie, the area was empty. Where had they gone?

Selena glanced around, frustration creeping in. The Cooper estate was vast, and unfamiliar to her, making it impossible to know where to start searching. She knew if they caused a scene by searching publicly, it would draw attention from the guests, something they couldn't afford.

Standing there, unsure of her next move, she decided to call Gavin. The first couple of calls went unanswered, but on her third attempt, the phone finally connected.

Before Gavin could say anything, Selena blurted, "Hey, Gavin, where are you? I've found the doctor."

Gavin's voice was husky and rough. "It's not necessary."

Then, without waiting for a response, he hung up.

"Hello? Hello?" Selena stared at the phone in disbelief.

What did he mean by "not necessary"?

Jolie had been in such bad shape, so how could he possibly not need the doctor? Had he already taken her to the hospital? That seemed like the only logical explanation for why she couldn't replace them.

With that thought, Selena relaxed a little. Gavin was a reliable person. If Jolie was with him, she would be fine.
