Dylan froze at Suzy’s words, her calm yet cutting tone stopping him in his tracks.
She was right. If he touched her, he’d have to take responsibility. But in his current situation…
A bitter smile tugged at his lips as he prepared to move away from her. Yet, just as he started to shift, Suzy grabbed hold of his collar.
“Dylan Wright,” she said coolly, “I told Helena we have nothing to do with each other. And yet, here you are, barging into my room in the middle of the night. What’s the matter? Trying to make me look like a liar?”
Almost as if on cue, the door was kicked open. Helena stormed in with a group of hotel security guards behind her, looking flustered and desperate.
“Dylan, this is all my fault! It has nothing to do with Miss Frost. Please don’t—”
Her words died on her lips as her gaze landed on the two of them. Dylan and Suzy were sprawled on the bed, their positions undeniably intimate.
“You… you two…”
Helena’s expression shifted to one of betrayal, her voice trembling with accusation. She stared at Suzy, her face a mix of disbelief and disappointment.
“You told me you had nothing to do with him! And yet, here you are, lying on the bed with him, disheveled in the middle of the night. Is this your idea of having ‘nothing to do with him

Taking a shaky breath, Helena’s hurt turned to fury. “I actually thought you were so generous, so above it all. But now I see, your generosity was just empty words! You’re nothing but a hypocrite, Suzy!”
Her voice rose with anger, and she jabbed a finger at Suzy. “From this moment on, we’re enemies. I’ll never forgive you!”
With that, Helena spun on her heel and stormed out, leaving behind the stunned security guards.
Suzy tightened her grip on Dylan’s collar, her gaze fiery. “You heard her! Helena and I got along just fine before tonight, and now, thanks to you, that’s ruined. What’s your problem, Dylan? Can’t stand to see me have a moment of peace?”
Dylan met her furious gaze without flinching. He pried her hand off his shirt, his voice calm but firm. “I’ll handle it.”
Suzy let out a dry laugh, her disbelief clear. “Oh, I can’t wait to see how you’re going to fix this.
True to his word, Dylan wasted no tline. Returning to Helena’s room, he pushed the door open

and went straight to the point.
“None of this has anything to do with Suzy,” he said bluntly. “I’m the one who went to her.”
“So, what you’re saying is, it’s not her fault, but that you still have feelings for her?” Helena’s voice rose, her emotions spiraling further out of control. “If you still care about her, then why didn’t you speak up when she claimed the two of you have nothing to do with each other?”
Dylan’s brows furrowed deeply at her outburst. “Helena, you and I have nothing between us- no relationship whatsoever. So even if there’s something between Suzy and me, that’s our business. It has nothing to do with you. You have no right to act like the victim here, and you certainly have no right to speak to Suzy the way you did.”
“No right?” Helena’s voice sharpened with indignation. “Everyone on this trip knows I’ve made it clear I want to marry you. Even Suzy encouraged me to pursue you! And now she turns around and does this? In your culture, wouldn’t you call that going back on her word? Or do you think I’m just some fool she can toy with for her own amusement?”
Her anger only grew as she continued. “Dylan, I might have been able to brush this off if you hadn’t gone out of your way to defend Suzy at every turn. But every word you just said was all about protecting her. Every sentence felt like a dagger stabbing into my heart.”
She paused, her voice trembling with a mix of fury and heartbreak. “In all my life, I’ve never been treated this way by a man. I can’t let it go. And I won’t let Suzy get away with this.”
Dylan opened his mouth to respond, but Helena didn’t give him the chance. Grabbing her suitcase, she stormed out of the room without another word.
