Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Andre blocked his sweet wife's path, his voice playful and teasing, "It's because you've been a little troublemaker."

Mia pouted, trying to make her escape, but Andre pulled her into his arms, spinning the chair to pin her gently between the desk and his chest. "How about we send Henry to Grandpa's tonight, hmm?"

Mia, with a mischievous glint in her eye, replied, "And if I agree, will you finally spill the beans?"

Andre leaned in close to whisper in her ear, savoring her comforting scent. His voice dropped to a husky murmur, "That depends on how good you are."

As it always went, her antics never quite hit the mark, but he loved her more with every misstep.

That evening, little Henry, clinging to his grandpa's neck, was whisked away for a night at the grandparents'.

Back at their cozy home in the quiet neighborhood, Leo greeted Anya with a kiss, pressing her against the dining table. "Kissing our little chubby guy is one thing, but thinking of ditching your hubby? That's a no-go."

Anya blushed, her arms wrapped around Leo's neck, her eyes shyly avoiding his. Despite her bashfulness, when Leo kissed her, she kissed back.

Concerned that the chair might dig into her back, Leo effortlessly lifted Anya and carried her to the couch.

The midsummer night's breeze played with the curtains, and the two of them, tangled on the sofa, felt the youthful heat rise. The thin summer clothes barely kept their reactions concealed, matching the sultry warmth of the evening.

The next morning, Andre arrived at

the and called for Noah, who

had been up late the previous night after being contacted by the CEO. "Come to my office."

"Boss, Greg has definitely been cozying up to some folks outside the company. He was all set to join a government department but

suddenly switched gears to join the Cedillo Group."

Andre leaned back in his chair, pondering, "Any word from Conner and Asher?"

Noah shook his head, "Do you think they're targeting the Nettleton family and Asher?"

Andre's eyes narrowed, "It might be more than just them." His nephew was in the mix too.

Back when the Walker family, with Tom Walton's help, kidnapped his son, it was his nephew who bravely dove into the Dark Web and unearthed the clues. Andre thought the whole ordeal was behind them, but the Dark Web had traced

breach back to Havenbrook, his

stomping grounds. If they linked the kidnapping with his overseas trip to confront Old Walker, alongside records tying the Walker family to Tom, his high-profile status, and his talented team, it was no wonder the Dark Web suspected him!

Plus, Leo, his nephew, had just gotten into the national university's computer science grad program. The timing was uncanny.

Naturally, the Dark Web would zoom in on the uncle-nephew duo.

Everyone could see Asher and Conner's recent moves had Andre's fingerprints all over them. Could the Dark Web be after the stash of ammo Maja was holding?

Whatever the case, Andre had been surprisingly oblivious to the fact that the Dark Web had infiltrated his own company.

After soothing his wife to sleep the night before, he'd spent the night reaching out to Noah. Today's news was a sharp wake-up call.
