Yvonne, that damn woman, still hadn''te out. What the hell was she thinking?

After everything he''d done for her, she was really going to leave him hanging like this?

If she didn''t show up, did that mean she still had feelings for him?

The moment Dan heard the word "wife," his already thunderous expression grew even darker.

"She agreed to divorce you," Xander said coldly.

Xander''s words hung in the air.

Kyle and Shawn exchanged nces. The room felt like someone had just cranked the AC to full st.

Shawn shot Xander a look. After all this time, he was pretty sure his brother was a master at hiding his feelings. For years, Xander had kept his thing for Yvonne locked up tight. Now that Dan had just dropped the divorce bomb, Shawn couldn''t help but feel a little sorry for him.

Xander''s lips curled into a smile, but it was icy cold. "Guess my first little present for Mr. Murray wasn''t to his taste, huh?"

With that, he snapped his fingers.

Dan''s heart sank at the sharp,manding sound. Before he could react, a series of deafening booms erupted outside.

Carroll and Dan both spun around, eyes wide.

Through the windows, they watched as a dozen luxury cars parked in the driveway exploded in a chain reaction, fireballs lighting up the night sky. The smell of burning rubber and gasoline hit them instantly.

Dan turned back, eyes bloodshot, jaw clenched so hard his teeth nearly cracked. He red at Xander, but no words came out.

Xander''s smile just grew wider. "I''ve got plenty more gifts where that came from."

The message was clear: if Dan didn''t hand over Yvonne, Xander would keep blowing up everything he cared about until he snapped.

And honestly, Dan was pretty close to snapping. He shot Xander a death re. "You''re insane."

Xander just shrugged. "Yeah, well, better than being the kind of creep who''s always eyeing someone else''s wife."

That stung. Everyone in the room knew it.

Dan gave a coldugh. "Don''t think

don''t know what''s really going on between you and her. This is all

about the Schultz family, isnot? You and I-we''re not so different."

Both of them, he meant, had faced endless obstacles trying to give Yvonne the happiness she deserved.

At those words, Xander''s smile vanished. "Don''tpare me to you,"

e snapped. "If I''d faked

own death like you did, Yvonne would have ripped me apart.  s

Not a word about love, but everything about loyalty.

Dan''s face twisted in anger. He jabbed a finger at the bite marks on his cheek. "See this? She did that."

Shawn and Kyle stared. "Holy crap..."

Only now did they realize the swollen marks on Dan''s face were Yvonne''s bite

marks—not bruises from a punch, but actual teeth marks.

Shawn shot Xander a worried nce. Especially given the dangerous look in Xander''s eyes

right now. "Hey bro, it''s not a bi deal. Once we find Yvonne you cata let her bite you a few times too."  s

Xander red at him. If looks could kill, Shawn would have dropped dead on the spot.

"Dude, chill," Kyle jumped in. "Don''t let him get to you. Why''d she bite you, Dan? Try to pull something and get shut down, huh?"

Seriously—what kind of couple ends up with bite marks on their faces in bed? Clearly, one of them wasn''t into it.

Dan didn''t even get what he wanted, and he''s still bragging about it!

Inside the mansion...

Yvonne and Chloe pressed themselves against a window as the explosions rocked the estate.

They couldn''t see the front gate from here, so they had no idea it was Xander who''d shown up. But the staff were already freaking out.

From where they stood, the fireballs lighting up the sky were impossible to miss- a dozen cars going up in mes.

Yvonne let out a low whistle. "Damn. Who''s got the guts to do this to Dan, right in his own house?"

This ce was supposed to be a fortress. Most people couldn''t even get through the front door, and now his whole fleet was toast.

Chloe nodded, wide-eyed. "Whoever it is—they''re seriously bold. Like, next-level bold."
