Chapter 154 

1/3 

It’s almost dark that evening when I pull up to the gates to Kent’s estate. I spent the day with Janeen, planning my next steps, letting the sound of her laugher and warm advice wash over me like a healing balm. I also let her curl my hair into sexy waves and exchange my slouchy sweater and leggings for a pair of tight jeans and a turtleneck, all black. She spent some time doing my makeup too, transforming me into the smokey–eyed femme fatale I felt I needed to be to take this next step. 

The gates slide open without hesitation and I pull the car through. Instead of heading around the back of the house to the garages, though, I curve around the driveway and park directly before the front door. I take a moment to steel myself and then step out, looking towards the guard I know will be standing by the door at 

the top of the steps. 

I don’t let my surprise register when I see that it’s Jerome standing there. Instead, I keep my face blank as I walk slowly up to the door and calmly hand him the keys to the Prius I borrowed that 

morning. 

“Next time,” I say softly, holding his eye. “I’m taking the Lexus.” 

He blinks at me, shock and confusion on his face, but I brush 

past, opening the door myself and leaving it ajar as I walk calmly 

into the house.

I head directly for Kent’s office, knowing he’ll be there. I don’t 

bother to knock before I open the door.

He turns his head, glaring, opening his mouth to admonish whoever is interrupting him, but he goes silent when he sees me standing there, my arms crossed over my chest, a set of papers folded in my hand. 

I don’t say anything as I cross the room to him. Kent just closes his mouth, watching me as I walk. I hold his gaze as I stop before him, my expression blank. Then, slowly, I lean forward and place the signed contract on the desk in front of him. 

“I’m ready when you are,” I purr, looking him directly in the eye. 

Then, without another word, I turn and leave him alone in his shocked silence. 

As soon as I leave Kent’s office, I head right for the kitchen, hurrying my steps. Janeen and I had planned every moment of that – parking at the front of the house, demanding a better car from the guard, delivering the contract to Kent and what I would say as I did it. But now that that’s all done I don’t have a script anymore and I feel my nerves coming back. 

What I know I want is a big glass of wine to take upstairs with me, because I have a feeling Kent isn’t going to let this rest tonight and I definitely want something to calm me down before –

3/3 

I stop in my tracks as soon as I enter the kitchen. Daniel’s sitting right there, at our breakfast table, reading a book. 

Shit. Daniel. 

Honestly, I’d forgotten all about him. 

He looks up at me and instantly closes his book, coming over 

to me. “Fay!” he breathes, relief all over his face as he takes my 

hand. “Are you all right? Where have you been all day?”  S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Um,” I say, my eyes darting away from him. “I went to see my 

sister-” 

“Good,” he says, nodding. “I’m glad you got some time away. Are you all right?” 

I look up at him, biting my lip and nodding shallowly. 

“Good!” he insists, looking at me eagerly. “Fay, there’s no reason we can’t turn this around – we don’t have to listen to him, we can tear up that contract you signed this morning and start our 

engagement again, on our own terms.” 

“Um,” I hesitate, pulling my hand from his. “Daniel?”
