Avery isn’t just playing with fire—she’s standing right in its path.

Avery uncovers a truth no one wanted found: Sebastian’s sister is alive—and hidden for a reason. What begins as quiet questioning turns dangerous when trauma surfaces and Sebastian arrives, already furious. Every answer raises new doubts, and Avery realizes curiosity may be the most punishable crime of all.

Avery isn’t just investigating anymore—she’s striking. Attempting to move money within Wolfe Capital crosses a line that can’t be erased. With covert calls happening dangerously close to Sebastian’s sister, the risk escalates fast. Whether Scarlett hears anything or not, Avery is no longer operating unseen—and being overheard at all could unravel everything.

The investigation has turned on Avery. Anonymous surveillance photos and a quiet warning make it clear she’s no longer invisible—and the threat isn’t coming from Sebastian. As hidden truths begin to surface, the balance of power shifts, and Avery realizes she’s running out of time. One wrong move could expose her mission—and destroy everything she’s worked for.

It’s no longer just Avery watching Sebastian. Someone else is watching her—someone who knows she isn’t what she appears and is testing how much Sebastian truly sees.

The tension is shifting. Avery’s moves are getting bolder, but so are the eyes on her. Not everyone is fooled anymore, and the sense of being watched is creeping in fast. Control feels thinner now—and the risk feels very real.

Everyone in this house is negotiating something—and Avery may be the only one pretending she isn’t.

The Wolfe family isn’t just wealthy and intimidating—it’s layered with unresolved grief, power, silence… and motives. Avery believes she’s in control, yet she’s clearly being pulled deeper than planned. It made me wonder: is she really using Sebastian—or just learning how to justify staying? And will she still be able to follow through with destroying him for what he did to Miles?

The shift from control to tenderness is unsettling. Avery is losing her footing—and enjoying it more than she should. What looks like intimacy is control disguised as pleasure, revealing how easily control can masquerade as affection. The lessons are growing more dangerous. At what point does surrender stop being part of the plan? Desire isn’t just desire anymore—it’s leverage. Conditioning is the real danger.

Becca is catching on… and I can’t stop wondering—will she be the one to ruin Avery’s plan to destroy Sebastian?
