This was Nola’s first time stepping into his private territory.
Before she could look around, Calder shut the door and kissed her with overwhelming force.
When the kiss left her nearly breathle

Billionaire’s Mistake: Claiming the Wrong Bride 170 Sign the Divorce Papers
Quill hesitated.“Sir, she refuses to sign.”“She says she belongs to the Rook family in life and in death.”He lowered his voice.“And she keeps demanding to see you.”Samuel’s face hardened.“Take me to her.”He hated Blythe.But it was not the same hatred he had once felt toward Willa.With Willa, love had come first. He had believed she betrayed him, and that love had curdled into rage.Blythe was different.She had harmed too many people. She had even plotted his death.There was nothing left in him for her except disgust and the urge to see her punished.Until the divorce was settled, Blythe and Melissa had not yet been handed over to the police.Blythe clung to that delay.Samuel had not sent her away yet.Surely that meant some feeling remained.“Is anyone there?”She struck the b

“I began to suspect that what happened to Norchester and me, Calder’s death, and the turmoil inside the Rook family were all connected.”Willa’s hand tightened around her cup.“It felt as though someone had been moving everything from the shadows.”“I could endure being wronged myself. What I could not endure was my son dying without explanation.”“So I decided to take a dangerous risk.”“At the moment when the Rook family was most unstable, I contacted Samuel again and asked him to meet Callan.”She looked at her son.“He came.”“And when he saw how closely your face resembled Calder’s, he could hardly believe it.”“The moment he agreed to let you return and take Calder’s place, I knew the first step of my plan had succeeded.”Willa reached across the table and took Callan’s hand.

The voice behind him was painfully familiar.Callan went rigid.For several seconds, he could not turn around.What if he had imagined it?What if ten years of longing had finally begun to play tricks on him?Nola looked past him.An elderly woman stood a short distance away, one hand resting on a bicycle. Metal buckets hung on either side of the rear wheel, both filled with flowers.The woman’s hair was still mostly black, though silver touched her temples. Her eyes were clear and bright. Time had left fine lines at their corners, but it had not taken the beauty from her face.There was something composed and graceful about her, something both gentle and resilient.And something unmistakably familiar in the shape of her eyes.Could this be Willa?“Callan.”Nola caught his arm.“Look.”He turned slowly.The moment the woman saw his face, the bi

Calder and Nola exchanged a look, then headed straight for Samuel’s room.He looked worse than Quill had described.His eyes were open, but he kept murmuring to himself, the words too faint to make out.Calder called Dr. Clark into the hall.“How is he?”Clark shook his head.“The shock was too much. His heart has been badly strained.”He lowered his voice.“And he does not seem to want to live.”“You should prepare yourselves.”Inside the room, Nola sat beside the bed and looked at the old man who seemed to have aged overnight.She sighed.“Old man, what are you doing?”“You are giving up already?”“Nola.”Samuel slowly turned his head toward her.“I have committed too many sins.”“Yes, yes. We all know.”She leaned closer.“Th

Calder took her hand and led her through the corridor toward Chart House.Lights came on inside the small building as they entered.They went upstairs together, still holding hands.The first thing Nola noticed was the wall.Several framed drawings now hung there.Her little turtle sketches.The picture she had made from turtles arranged into his name.He had kept every one of them.Not only kept them, but framed them and placed them where he could see them.Nola sat at the desk, unable to stop the smile gathering at her mouth.Being treasured like this felt unbearably sweet.Calder opened the safe and took out their marriage certificate.He placed it in front of her.Nola looked down.Callan.Nola.So that was why.When she had wanted to see the certificate before, he had hidden it from her.He had married her under his real name from the very beginnin

Nola crossed the room and sat in the chair beside Samuel.“What did you want to say?”“I am listening.”Samuel looked at her for a long moment.The arrogance that had defined him for decades was gone.“Nola, I spent my whole life believing I was clever.”“I thought I controlled everything.”His mouth twisted with grief.“And in the end, I was the greatest fool of all.”“If you had never appeared, I might have died without learning any of this.”“You helped me.”“You saved me.”His voice weakened.“You saved Callan. You saved Joren. You saved the Rook family.”Samuel lowered his eyes.“I do not know what else to say.”“Thank you.”He drew a slow breath before continuing.“The truth is, I have always liked you.”
