Julle was already curled up on the floor, sobbing
“Officer, please help me… He forced himself on me…”
“I didn’t! It’s not like that, I swear !”
Shaw didn’t give him any room to argue
“Powerful background or not, forcing a woman against her will is a crime. You’ll come with us for questioning”
Douglas was cuffed and escorted out of the room. A female officer entered to collect evidence
“I didn’t do anything You’ve got it all wrong–just let me explain!”
“You’ll have time to explain back at the station.”
As they walked down the hallway, Douglas caught sight of Caitlin standing in the doorway of another room. That’s when it hit him
“Caitlin! You set me up! You did this!”
Caitlin didn’t reply. She simply watched as the officers dragged him away, her eyes cool and amused.

“I didn’t do anything! I swear to God I didn’t rape that woman I don’t even know how I ended up in that room”
“Mr. Yuncey, if that’s the case, then how did you end up in a hotel room with her?”
*It was Caitlin She told me to come to the hotel–check with her! She set me up, I know it! Ask her!”
“Calm down, Mr. Yuncey. We’ll look into everything you’ve said.”
“I want a lawyer. Call my lawyer right now!”
Douglas was losing control of his emotions, his mind spiraling.
Meanwhile, Julie was also brought into the station, seated not far from him. A female officer took her statement.
“What happened in the hotel room? Why did you agree to meet him there?”
Julie, shaking and tearful, said ,
“He asked me to meet him there–said he wanted to apologize. I thought maybe… maybe he really regretted what happened before. But instead, he did it again… He forced himself on me again…”
as like a sledgehammer. His eyes shot wide. He suddenly remembered her–her face, her name.
Her words hit Douglas!
“You! It’s you!” he growled.
“You lying bitch! When the hell did I ever force you?! Say it again–say it to my face!”
He lunged, grabbing Julie by the hair, rage exploding across his face.
“Mr. Yuncey! Stand down!”
Officers had to drag him off her. Due to his violent outburst, Douglas was immediately taken down to the holding cell
Juble, still sobbing, gave a full statement detailing the first assault from over a year ago and the second that just occurred.
Fearing public exposure, she begged the officers not to release her name. They agreed to keep her identity anonymous and arranged a sale escort back home.
As for Douglas, he remained in the holding cell, unable to contact anyone. Outside, reporters camped out, waiting for updates.
The story exploded online within minutes. The headline spread across news sites, forums, and trending hashtags
Back at the Yuncey estate, Carmen was scrolling her phone when the news popped up.
She nearly dropped it.
“Oh my God! Douglas is in trouble!”
“What?”
Greta asked sharply.
“Look! He’s been arrested–on rape charges!” She held up the phone with the news article.
Greta gasped in horror.

“ How could this happen?i
Quill stood up, stunned,
“No way. He was just here for dinner. There’s no way he’d do something like that.”
Millic entered just then, muttering.
“What’s with the company lately? Douglas has been working late so much he’s still not back?”
“Not working late,” Carmen snapped, “He’s been arrested.”
“What?” Millie cried. “Why?”
“Read it yourself,”
Millie glanced at the screen, then exploded.
“That bastard !
rd! That son of a bitch! Again?! And now the cops got him?!”
Greta, still defending her son, said,
“He wouldn’t do that! It must be some fake news ! Someone’s out to get him!”
Quill dialed his son’s number–no answer. Then the landline rang
Greta picked up.
“Hello!”
“Ma’am, bad news. Douglas has been arrested on sexual assault charges. I’ve just been informed and I’m heading to the station now.”
“Do whatever you have to do! I don’t care what it takes–just get my son out!”
“We’ll try our best.”
Greta hung up and turned to her husband, crying.
“Quill Go down there, now!”
“I’m on it.”
He grabbed his coat and ran out the door.

Once everything was in motion, Caitlin returned to the suite, standing behind Sebastian as he expertly worked his laptop
His fingers danced over the keyboard, wiping the footage of Caltlin meeling Douglas from the hotel’s security system. He also cleaned up any evidence of her presence and edited the timestamps seamlessly.
When he was finished, he closed the laptop, swiveled in his chair, and wrapped his arms around her.
His eyes gleamed with mischief and heat .
“My queen… Mission accomplished. I think I deserve a special reward. Don’t you agree?”
