I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 561

Now that I've decided to move against Steven, there's no turning back. If I'm going to be ruthless, I have to see it through.

If Steven found out what I was really doing, he wouldn't go easy on me just because of some suggestive photos.

I kept my face perfectly calm. "You can refuse. If you won't seduce him, I'm sure another woman will be more than willing."

With that, I turned to leave. Antonia gritted her teeth. "Wait! I'll do it. I like Stev!"

I turned back to look at her.

Her delicate face was flushed, her eyes a stubborn, hopeful mix of longing and determination.

I'd assumed Antonia was just after Steven's money, but it seemed she was actually looking for a fairytale romance.

"I should warn you, this is risky, but the payoff is high. And let me be clear: if you fail to seduce him, you cannot expose my involvement. If you do, I'll be punished, but you will meet a much uglier end."

Antonia clenched her fists. "Don't worry, failure is not an option. I will win Stev over! I'm not like you. My feelings for him are genuine, not like you, who still has Horace in her heart while trampling on Steven's sincerity! He'll be moved by my devotion!"

I watched her, a hint of regret creeping in as I took in her reckless bravado.

She was starting to look like dead weight.

Still, it wasn't like I had other women lining up to help. I'd have to make do.

...

I brought Antonia back to the villa for a couple of days under the guise of having her atone for her past actions, but my real goal was to create opportunities for her to get close to Steven.

When I told him, Steven just stared at me for a long moment, but he didn't object.

On the drive back, I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep, giving Antonia plenty of room to work her magic.
