Enchanted Nightfall: Falling for Destiny

Tyrone watched Quintessa with a frosty gaze. "But you've already provoked me."

Quintessa didn't argue. It was useless now to say who provoked whom. Anyway, they were already entangled.

Her smirked. "Is it too late to back off?"

His eyes held a ruthless glint. "It's too late."

Back off? That was a joke. Nothing she said would make a difference now. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

There was no way he was going to let Quintessa go and live her life carefree.

Quintessa shrugged, said nothing more, and pushed Tyrone away. "I'm leaving."

Tyrone grabbed her arm. "Don't go messing with the Young family anymore. Otherwise, you'll end up in trouble sooner or later. Whatever you do, I can help you." Tyrone had seen Quintessa's two attempts on the Young family before, finding it amusing at the time, messing around with her.

But things had changed. He didn't want her involved in that mess anymore.

There are no secrets that time does not reveal, nor is there endless luck without misstep.

Now that everything was laid bare, could Quintessa still make a stealthy move? The people from the Young family were probably thinking of how to deal with her now. Quintessa slowly pulled her hand free. "The Young family is my business, not yours. You can't handle it."

Tyrone pulled her back. "Don't you get how dangerous this is?"

She looked up, locking eyes with him. "Danger? Then tell me, what's safe? I've never known safety in my life."

"I can give you." Tyrone insisted.

"What?"

"I can guarantee your safety."

Quintessa chuckled. "But I don't need it."

Their interactions were either tearing each other apart or teasing, rarely serious.

Tyrone admired Quintessa's fierce and decisive nature, her attitude of avenging wrongs.

But he didn't want her to drag herself down in pursuit of revenge.

Quintessa reached up, touching Tyrone's face. "If you want to woo me, shower me with money, cars, houses, and jewels. In time, I might just fall into your bed. But my business? That's off-limits to you."

His face turned as dark as ink. Quintessa had made it clear: sharing her bed might be possible, but meddling in her affairs was not.

Quintessa got into her car and drove to the studio with Manny. Tyrone watched from the window above, her luggage making his brows knit tight.

It seemed like they were caught in a dead loop between them.

It was difficult to break out of this dead loop.

Tyrone stood up abruptly. Why the hell couldn't he get involved? He'd decided he was going to, whatever it would take.

He grabbed his car keys and stormed out.

Quintessa returned to the set to continue filming, but the very next day, Twitter was exploded with rumors. It was suspected that the rising star Quintessa was caught kissing a mysterious man on the street, and it even made it to the trending topics.

The accompanying image showed Quintessa embracing and kissing Tyrone passionately on the street yesterday. The picture was blurry and only captured their profiles, but it vaguely resembled Quintessa. Tyrone's car obscured the license plate, but the unmistakable Land Rover logo was visible.

Netizens started speculating. No wonder she landed the lead role in Director Gardner's new movie so soon after her debut she had connections.
