Kane hesitated, choosing his words carefully. “Dolly and Kim are aware of the significance of the trial period. They’ve always tried to create chaos. I should have handled this better, and I apologize for any distress they’ve caused you.”
I nodded, a mix of emotions swirling within me. “What do we do now?”
Kane stepped closer, his expression earnest. “We deal with them, make sure they never interfere again. And we continue with our trial period, undeterred by their antics. Tessa, I care about you, and won’t let anyone jeopardize what we have.”

He sighed, frustration evident in his features. “Dolly and Kim have always sought chaos. They know the trial period is a vulnerable time, and they exploit that knowledge. I thought I had dealt with them, but clearly, I was wrong.”
His admission didn’t erase the unease within me. “How can we trust that they won’t come back? What if they decide to disrupt things again?”
Kane’s jaw clenched, his determination shining through. “I’ll take care of it. I’ll ensure they face consequences for their actions. No one will jeopardize what we’re building here, Tessa. I promise you that.”
I nodded, a mix of emotions swirling within me. The turmoil caused by Dolly and Kim had shaken the foundation of our trial period, leaving me unsure of what to expect next.
“I want to trust you, Kane. I really do,” I admitted, my vulnerability surfacing. “But this… it makes me question everything. How can we move forward without constant threats?”
Kane approached, his eyes softening with understanding. “Tessa, I know I haven’t been perfect, and I regret not being more transparent about my past. But I’m committed to you, and I won’t let anyone or anything come between us.”
His words resonated, and a flicker of hope ignited within me. “We need to address this together, Kane. If we’re going to move forward, we need honesty and openness. No more secrets.”
He nodded, sincerity in his gaze. “You’re right. From now on, we face things together. I’ll keep you informed, and we’ll navigate this trial period as a team.”
As we stood there, facing the uncertainties that lay ahead, a tentative sense of unity emerged. The challenges had inten perhaps it was in overcoming them that the true strength of our connection would be revealed.

Tessa’s POV
I couldn’t believe the audacity of those two women, Dolly and Kim, invading our space like that. My heart raced with a mixture of embarrassment, anger, and confusion. The image of them flaunting themselves in the pool was burned into my mind, and I couldn’t shake the feeling of betrayal.
As Kane led me away from the commotion, his grip firm yet comforting, I couldn’t bring myself to meet his eyes. What could he possibly say to justify their presence here? The trust I had started to build with him now felt fragile, hanging by a thread.

Chapter 67
We entered the living room, and Kane closed the door behind us. The tension in the air was suffocating, and I finally mustered the courage to speak. “Kane, who are they, and why were they here?”
He sighed, running a hand throgh his hair, a gesture that betrayed is frustration. “Dolly and Kim… they are from my past, troublemakers who can’t seem to stay away. I asked for a key back from Dolly months ago, but she clearly thought it was amusing to drop by uninvited.”

This chapter was very confusing; needs to be re written. They change rooms, repeat themselves and contradict the story.
