Plus, Mitchel had let Lauren frame her in recent months.

Mitchel and Lauren's relationship was complicated, so Raegan knew that changing Mitchel's mind wouldn't be easy. So she had little hope that Mitchel would seek justice for her and the baby, especially against Lauren.

"Kyle is the father of Lauren's child!" Looking at Raegan's enraged expression, Mitchel suddenly let go of him.

“What did you just say?” Raegan questioned, her eyes wide in disbelief. He didn't expect it. The revelation that Lauren and Kyle were involved left her stunned.

"He's Kyle's son," Mitchel confirmed.

Mitchel gently touched Raegan's hair with her thin hand and continued, "That's all I can reveal for now." Trust me, I'll explain everything to you later.

Revealing this information now was risky for Mitchel. Alexis had tried by all means to take control of the company these days and Kyle had decisive evidence against Alexis. Kyle had agreed to cooperate with Mitchel, but only if Lauren's baby remained safe.

At the time, Kyle had been imprisoned for a crime. After the scene Alexis had made, Kyle contacted Mitchel and promised unconditional cooperation as long as Lauren's baby was kept safe.

Mitchel had to create the impression that Lauren was carrying her child to ensure the baby's safety from any harm Alexis could cause her.

These complexities made Mitchel cautious about sharing too much with Raegan. If she could endure it for three months, Mitchel believed she could beat Alexis.

Thinking of Nicole's tragic end, Mitchel felt a pang of unease.

Raegan was acting strange, probably deeply saddened by Nicole's death.

Shortly before, in the cemetery, he cried so bitterly that he even expressed his desire to harm Jarrod.

Mitchel watched Raegan carefully, his intuition telling him something was wrong.

Staring at her, Mitchel asked hoarsely, "Raegan, you're not going to leave me, are you?"

If given the choice, Mitchel would prefer to keep Raegan around, maybe even lock her up. Additionally, Raegan had been pushing for a divorce lately, adding to Mitchel's worries.

Seeing the anxiety in Mitchel's eyes, Raegan's heart skipped a beat.

Realizing that this was not the time to provoke Mitchel, he reluctantly went against his wishes and said, "Of course, I won't leave you."

She lifted her delicate face and added softly, “But Mitchel, you have to stop locking me up. "I can't stand feeling like a prisoner at home."

Mitchel studied Raegan's face with apparent indifference, as if trying to decipher the truth behind her words.

Consumed by sobs, Raegan pleaded in a pained voice: “Nicole is gone and my heart is broken. How can you keep confining me all day? Don't my feelings mean anything to you?

"Stop crying." Mitchel reached out to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes. Finally, he relented and said, “You can go out, but the bodyguards must accompany you. And don't stay out too long, understand?

Hearing this, Raegan's face paled. This meant that he would be under Mitchel's watchful eye twenty-four hours a day.

However, Raegan considered it a welcome change from being grounded at home.

Mitchel left after sending Raegan back to Serenity Villas. It was obvious to her where she was going.

At first, Raegan thought she wouldn't care anymore, but knowing that Mitchel was going to visit Lauren made her feel upset. He despised both Lauren and Mitchel.

Thinking about her escape plan, Raegan made a conscious effort to behave exceptionally. Although Mitchel gave him permission to leave the villa, he refrained from going out for the last two days.

Mitchel did not visit her during this time, leaving Raegan uncertain about her whereabouts. I didn't know if he was with Lauren or busy with other matters.

The vigilant bodyguards diligently reported their every movement to Mitchel.

Raegan's apparent obedience during those days pleased Mitchel, prompting the bodyguards to let their guard down.

On the third day, Raegan informed the bodyguards of an errand she had to run. Their destination was a studio where she and Nicole had taken photos together before Nicole's death.

Raegan planned to visit the studio to retrieve the photos and then flee. Héctor had prepared everything for her.

This time, Raegan intended to sever all ties with Mitchel.

Arriving at the studio, Raegan entered while the bodyguards waited in the car.

Raegan was waiting for the photos in the VIP area on the second floor.

According to the plan, he would get his clothes wet and then buy a new suit at the studio.

The shop assistant pointed to the fitting room at the end of the hallway and said, “There you go.”

As she passed through the stairwell, Raegan saw someone coming up the stairs. Looking closer, he saw it was Mitchel.

Raegan hurried into the nearest dressing room, not noticing the “Exclusive” sign on the door.

Inside the room, fear gripped Raegan. He wondered why Mitchel was here. Had he discovered her plan and come to stop her?

Suddenly, a familiar voice emanated from next door, apparently deep in a telephone conversation. «I'm in the studio trying on the wedding dress... Mitchel is also here with me...».

It was Lauren.

Raegan's heart sank in an instant.

Raegan realized that Mitchel and Lauren were here to take wedding photos.

Clenching her fists, Raegan forced a mocking smile, but tears ran down her cheeks. She realized that Mitchel had cheated on her again.

There was a knock at the door.

Then, Mitchel's voice came. “Are you ready?”
