Helen’s mouth was suddenly covered by Jamie.

Just seconds later, he gave a lopsided grin and muttered, “How could I possibly mistake you for someone else, sweetheart? Nice try, though.”
Helen tried to fight him off, but Jamie had her completely pinned down–she couldn’t even move.
The only thing she could manage was to slap him repeatedly across the face. “Snap out of it, Jamie! Look at me! Do you even know who I am?”
But Jamie’s hands started to wander, and he murmured, “Of course I do. You’re my wife.”
Helen stared at him, horrified. He was so drunk he couldn’t even tell who she was. There was no reasoning with him in that state.
She squirmed to reach into her pocket for her phone, hoping to call Alaina, but as soon as she unlocked it, Jamie yanked it from her and tossed it behind him.
“No phones,” he said with a smirk. “Let’s focus, yeah?”
As his greasy face moved in close again, she shut her eyes, repulsed and on the verge of tears. “You’ve got the wrong person,” she cried.
But Jamie, in his drunken stupor, didn’t care.
Roughly, he pulled at her clothes and forced himself onto her.
Helen stopped struggling. Her hands clenched the sheets beneath her, eyes wide with a mix of fury and helplessness.
As Jamie moved on top of her, Helen felt a chaotic mix of emotions–her body betrayed her with sensations she didn’t want, while her mind seethed with fury. She stared at him with eyes full of hate, even as he made her feel things she had never felt before.
The moment it was over, she was going to kill him.
How dare he lay a hand on her?
A man like Jamie wasn’t even worthy of touching her. Only a man from a family like the Graysons–elegant, noble, and powerful–could be allowed near her.
And yet, she couldn’t deny it. Jamie, pathetic as he was, knew what he was doing.
Her body responded with an intensity that shocked her. The pleasure was overwhelming, her thoughts muddled, and she slipped into sleep without even realizing it.
Meanwhile, hidden away in the storage room, Caroline hadn’t heard a single cry from Helen. She figured the drug must’ve kicked in.
Quietly, she crept out and tiptoed to her bedroom door, pressing an ear against it.

Suddenly, a shrill ringtone pierced the silence–it came from inside the room.
Caroline was shocked. She knew that sound–it was Helen’s phone.
Worried the ringing would wake them, she gently opened the door and peeked in.
Jamie was curled around Helen, fast asleep. Moving like a thief, she slipped into the room, picked up the still–ringing phone, and quickly declined the call.
Then, with the same care, she stepped out and closed the door behind her.
She took Helen’s phone and quietly returned to the storage room.
Just then, a new message popped up on the screen–it was from Alaina.
Alaina asked, “Helen, why aren’t you answering? What’s going on in there?”
But the screen was locked with a six–digit passcode.
To respond, she needed to unlock it.
She tried Helen’s birthday–same as her own–but it was incorrect.
Next, she reversed the month and day–still wrong.
Just then, the phone rang again–Alaina calling this time.
Caroline’s heart jumped. She was already on edge, and the ringing only made it worse.
She rejected the call and tried one last guess.
Helen had a habit of adding “520” to the end of her usernames. Maybe she’d done something similar for her phone passcode.
She removed the year and added 520 to the date. Six digits total.
Caroline wasn’t confident, but at the moment, it was her best shot.
Once she typed it in, the phone was unlocked.
Relieved, she opened the message thread and quickly typed, “Mom, I was busy taking photos. I couldn’t answer just now.”
Alaina responded almost immediately, “Did you get the pictures? What’s going on now? Are they still … continuing?”
Caroline typed, “Yes, I got everything. They fell asleep in each other’s arms. You can call Dad and the uncles to come home now. But hurry–I’m worried she might wake up.”
Alaina and Helen had set her up. Now Helen could take the fall.
Let them both pay for what they’d done.

Edwin was at the hotel with his brothers, drinking and chatting. When he heard her tone, he asked, “What happened? Is Caroline causing trouble again?”
. He had just wrapped up work and planned to head home with his brothers.
But Alaina had insisted they stay out, saying their presence would only lead to a fight and ruin her plans.
He still had no idea what exactly her plan was, but he was compelled to go along with it.
