The one thing I’ve kept from him is that the bastard killed his daughter.
The old man has suffered enough.
He deserves the peace of never knowing what really happened to his little girl.
He never cared much for Frederick.
The man married my mother for her money and spent the rest of his life trying to get his hands on it.
That’s precisely why he never became CEO.
My grandfather never trusted him with the company. He held onto the position all these years waiting for me instead.
My phone buzzes, pulling my attention away from the meeting. I look at the screen and find a message from Harry.
I left him on Elaris Isle, along with a few other men.
Watching over my girl.
I open the message and find a photograph attached.
The moment it loads, my heart starts beating a hell of a lot faster.
There she is.
My girl.
My red.
My love.
She’s sitting at a table, her head thrown back in laughter.
Adelaide is beside her, and Eleanor too. I think that’s the name of the girl Ido is losing his mind over.
For the first time in months, she looks happy.
Free andalive.
She’s wearing a dress that exposes a sliver of cleavage. My cock takes notice immediately.
My woman can make me hard with nothing more than her name.
Thinking about her naked?
I could come in my fucking pants right here and now.
My cock twitches.
I check the time.
Ten in the evening.
So she’s having a night out.
Interesting.
Probably that menace Adelaide dragged her out. Piper would much rather stay in with a book. But judging by that smile, it’s done her good, so perhaps Adelaide’s interference wasn’t entirely intolerable.
