Love Unspoken

Quinn snapped, "Alexander! What are you doing?"

She was furious at seeing him bully the dog.

Alexander let go of Buddy, who ran to its cage, tail between its legs.

Dusting off his hands, Alexander looked at Quinn. "Just playing with Buddy. Why are you down here?"

Quinn eyed him warily. "Playing what?"

"Why so tense? Do you think I'd kill them?"

Quinn was speechless. He'd kill people, let alone dogs.

Weren't the miserable conditions of those stray animals Orion adopted back then also his doing?

Reading her thoughts, he wiped his fingers with a white handkerchief. "Relax. If they behave, I'll take care of them."

Quinn wasn't sure if he meant the dogs or her.

He tossed the handkerchief aside and walked out.

Soon, car lights lit up outside, and Quinn saw him drive away.

She sighed in relief. He seemed more unhinged every day.

Alexander didn't return. Early the next morning, Quinn headed to the office, eager to leave the villa.

After two hours at her desk, people started trickling in.

The vibe was off. Usually, everyone was busy prepping for filming.

Today, they were all on their phones, like they were on strike.

When Helen arrived, Quinn pulled her aside. "What's up today? No filming?"

Helen gave her a weird look. "Didn't you see the group chat?"

Then she remembered. "Oh, right. You're not in the group. Something happened to Maya, so filming's paused. Ronald's in a meeting with Ernest." "What happened?" Quinn asked, confused.

Helen said, "Check online. You'll find it."

Quinn quickly searched Maya's name and found tons of news.

Piecing it together, she got the story.

It started with chat screenshots. While chatting with another influencer, Maya badmouthed other influencers and mocked several celebrities.

The influencer exposed the chats because Maya had seduced her boyfriend.

There were also secrets about Maya hooking up with rich men and photos of her partying.

In short, Maya's character was awful, and her private life was a mess. She was juggling multiple relationships.

The scandal videos were viral, causing an online uproar.

Some cursed her, others demanded she explain.

But Maya hadn't shown up, acting oblivious.

Ernest, clueless, called a meeting to figure it out.

They couldn't reach Maya. Just as they were about to send someone to her place, Kyle showed up.
