Three minutes 380 Summary Yolanda is startled when Troy confronts her with a cold, threatening demeanor. He accuses her of pushing her mother, Teresa, down the stairs, injuring her leg, and warns that if Yolanda is untouchable due to her age, someone else-Miss Naomi-might not be so lucky. Despite feeling shaken by the threat, Yolanda stands her ground, refusing to back down and threatening to tell her father. Troy remains unfazed, taunting her and making it clear he intends to make things difficult for her. Later, Troy arrives at his office, where Frank hands him an invitation to Mrs.
Logan's birthday party. Troy immediately decides to decline the invitation, telling Frank he will stay in with his wife instead. Frank suspects Troy has ulterior motives, but Troy only smirks, recalling a conversation with Monica from earlier that day. Troy then visits the hospital where Teresa is recovering. Monica greets him cheerfully, explaining that Teresa has been worried about Troy's condition. Troy gently interacts with Monica and agrees to walk her home. When Yvonne arrives to take Monica away, Troy is left alone with Teresa.
Their interaction is tense but charged with underlying emotions; Teresa tries to maintain distance, while Troy playfully insists on staying with her. Despite her resistance, the warmth and teasing between them hint at a complicated, intimate connection. As they share the hospital room, Troy's flirtatious advances gradually break through Teresa's icy exterior. He reminds her that he's there to stay, not just to watch over her, and his charm begins to wear down her defenses.
Teresa's mixed feelings of frustration and warmth show the complexity of their relationship, as Troy encourages her to act on her desires rather than just dream about him. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Yolanda looked up sharply when she caught the sound of Troy's voice. Her eyes met the sight of Troy's striking, devilishly handsome face, but the cold, piercing glare in his eyes sent a chill down her spine, making her shiver involuntarily. Despite the unease gnawing at her, Yolanda bristled under Troy's intense scrutiny.
Her voice snapped harshly, rough with defiance, "That's none of your damn business!" Troy's brow furrowed at her outburst, but then a cold, bitter laugh escaped him. "Your mom is my sweetheart, the apple of my eye. You pushed her down the stairs and injured her leg. You're just a kid, so I can't really do much to you-but Miss Naomi? She might not be so lucky." The mention of Naomi made Yolanda's eyes narrow with suspicion as she fixed him with a wary stare. "What exactly do you want?" Troy's cold laughter echoed again, carrying a chilling promise.
"Whatever you've done to my sweetheart, I'll make sure Miss Naomi pays the price too." Though his tone was almost lazy, the menace behind his words was unmistakable. Yolanda's heart pounded, rattled by the threat, but she refused to back down. She glared fiercely at him, her voice sharp and defiant. "You think I won't call you out on this?" Troy's laugh grew even more scornful. "Is there anything I wouldn't do? I stole your dad's woman away-what makes you think I'd stop now?" Rolling her eyes, Yolanda huffed in frustration. "I'm going to tell my dad." Troy didn't even flinch. "Be my guest.
And while you're at it, don't forget to tell him how you shoved your mom down those stairs." Yolanda froze for a moment, then snapped angrily, "You..." But Troy stood firm. "Yolanda, I'm warning you. You're just a kid, so I won't lay a finger on you-but anyone else? I won't hold back." With that, he spun on his heel and strode away, leaving Yolanda standing alone at the corner, feeling lost and shaken as the cold wind whipped around her. Troy was never the good guy.
With a brat like Yolanda, he could have easily taught her a lesson, but since she was Teresa's real daughter, all he could do was make things difficult for her. After getting into his car, Troy drove off toward the office. Just as he arrived, Frank approached him with a small envelope in hand. "Mr. Hamilton, someone dropped off an invitation. Want to take a look?" Troy, busy scanning files on his computer, barely glanced at the invitation. "Who sent it? What's it for?" Frank pulled the invitation back, quickly scanning it. "It's from the Logan family. Mrs.

Logan's birthday party tonight." Hearing the name Logan, Troy looked up sharply, shooting Frank a quick glance before making his decision. "Turn it down." Frank didn't press for a reason and simply nodded. "Got it." As Frank turned to leave, Troy called him back. "Wait." Frank paused, then returned. "Anything else, Mr. Hamilton?" Troy looked up, a sly smile playing on his lips. "Aren't you going to ask me why?" Frank frowned. "Does it matter?" Troy's smile deepened. "It does." Frank gave a knowing "oh" and then asked, "So, why aren't you going?" Troy's grin widened.
"Because I'm staying in with my wife." Frank rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath, "Figures you're up to no good." Troy heard the muttering but didn't catch the words clearly. He didn't care. Instead, a smirk spread across his face as he recalled what Monica had said that very morning. After a long day at the office, Troy left in the evening and stopped by a dessert shop. He carefully selected some premium pastries before heading to the hospital. As he neared the room, he could already hear Monica's bright laughter echoing down the corridor.
Pushing the door open, Troy found Monica practically bouncing off the bed when she saw him. "Mr. Hamilton, you're finally here! If you hadn't come, Aunt Teresa would have grilled me to death." Troy set the pastries down on the nightstand and crouched beside Monica. He reached out and pinched her cheek gently. "What's going on? What did Aunt Teresa say?" Monica pouted, clearly annoyed.
"I came to the hospital after school to visit Aunt Teresa, but the moment I walked in, she wouldn't stop asking if you were still bleeding and if you were feeling better." At Monica's words, Troy glanced toward Teresa lying on the bed, but she deliberately avoided his gaze, looking away instead. He caught only a glimpse of her profile but chose not to dwell on it. Monica continued chatting, "Mr. Hamilton, since you're here, you should take off your shirt and let Aunt Teresa give you a proper check-up! She's a doctor, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Troy laughed softly.
"Trust me, Monica, I'm not shy at all. No need to worry about me." Monica nodded, slinging her backpack over her shoulder. "Mr. Hamilton, Aunt Teresa's leg still hurts, so it's your job to keep her company now. I'm heading home-if my dad finds out I'm not back yet, he'll totally freak out and kill me!" Troy stood up. "I'll walk you home." Just as he finished speaking, the hospital room door opened from the outside. Yvonne stepped in. She walked over, took Monica's backpack, and spoke softly to Troy, "Mr. Hamilton, you and Teresa can have some time to talk.
I'll take Monica home." Troy offered her a gentle smile. "Thanks, Yvonne. I appreciate it." After Troy spoke, Yvonne turned to Teresa, meeting her gaze with a warm smile. "Get some rest. I'll come by again tomorrow." Teresa sounded a little flustered as she called after Yvonne, "Yvonne, wait-" But Yvonne simply took Monica's hand and led her out before Teresa could say another word. Their footsteps soon faded down the hallway. Troy sat down beside the bed, watching helplessly as Teresa's expression slowly hardened into icy coldness. Seeing her like that, Troy couldn't help but smirk.
"Am I really that scary to you?" Teresa shot him a sharp look. "I already had dinner. You don't need to stick around." Troy leaned closer, locking eyes with her. "I'm not here to watch over you. I'm not leaving tonight." Teresa turned to him, eyes wide with surprise. "You're not leaving? What exactly are you doing here?" Troy chuckled lowly. "To sleep with you." Teresa froze for a moment. "Troy, you really have no shame!" His laughter grew even more wicked as he flashed her a devilish grin. "Just sleeping, not the spicy kind.
What did you think I was up to?" Teresa's cheeks flushed bright red, and she snapped back coldly, "I don't need you to keep me company. I can sleep just fine on my own." The thought of Troy staying made Teresa uneasy. She feared things might spiral out of control again. His advances were becoming harder to resist, and she worried that one day she might actually give in. Watching Teresa's face light up with a mix of frustration and warmth made Troy's heart feel strangely tender, and he couldn't help but smile wider. "Monica told me you were calling for me all morning.
Since you missed me so much, wouldn't it be cruel if I didn't stay?" Teresa turned her face away, trying to resist his charm by staying silent. But the quieter she became, the more Troy was tempted to tease her. He leaned in close, his breath warm and shameless against her cheek. His soft, teasing laugh was dangerously charming. Teresa felt her defenses slipping. With a devilish grin and lips curled in mischief, Troy whispered, "I'm right here, Teresa. If you want to touch me, just do it. If you want to kiss me, go ahead.
Isn't that better than just dreaming about me?" Conclusion This chapter delicately captures the simmering tension between Yolanda and Troy, highlighting the complex web of emotions that bind them.
