“Oh, stop it and just speak.”

“We haven’t been talking.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know.”

Rufus sighed and nodded.

“As your friend—and unofficial counselor—I’ll advise you to talk to her.”

    JASON'S POV"Yesterday?" Alexa asked.She narrowed her eyes, as though trying to process what Dad had just said."Yes," Dad replied quietly.I rubbed my jaw, anxiety twisting in my stomach."How did Mrs. Stones find out about Jeffrey?"Dad sighed deeply. His face had gone pale."Katey has her ways. She's sneaky, intelligent, and resourceful.""She couldn't have known about Jeffrey by chance," I said. "I think she has someone watching us."Dad immediately stood and began pacing around his study."And who would that be?"Alexa suddenly gasped.I turned toward her.She covered her mouth, her eyes widening as though something had just clicked in her mind."What is it, Alexa?" I asked."Josie."The name dropped into the room like a stone."Josie?"

"Now you look charming."Jason chuckled before leaning down to kiss my forehead.Then his lips found mine.The kiss deepened, making warmth rush to my cheeks.I laughed softly and pushed him away."You're going to be late.""Oh?" he teased. "A CEO is never late."I rolled my eyes."Oh, please."He glanced at his wristwatch."...Actually...""I am late.""I knew it," I laughed."You still have to eat before leaving."Taking his hand, I led him toward the dining room."Josie," I called."Please bring breakfast."Moments later, Josie entered carrying a large tray filled with pancakes, waffles, toasted bread and two steamin

  • ENTANGLED MARRIAGE    CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO: VOICES FROM THE PAST

    JASON'S POVSilence filled the study as I pressed the PLAY button.The cassette crackled before two familiar voices echoed through the room.Richard Cardova.Jeffrey Lester."Gresham Building has recovered faster than anyone expected," Richard said.Lester let out a dry chuckle."Of course it did. It's your own fault you walked away when things got difficult. You and Edward started that company together, but you abandoned it.""I couldn't risk losing my shares," Richard replied.A brief silence followed."What exactly do you want, Richard?" Lester finally asked."The company.""The whole company."Another chuckle escaped Lester."In your dreams.""It can become reality... with your help.""And why would I help you?""Because once the company is mine, you'll get your share.""I'm not helping you, Richard.""I'm Edward Leonard's lawyer."Relief washed over me.For a moment, I'd feared my grandfather had chosen greed.Richard wasn't giving up."Lester...""Edward is using you.""Without

Jason asked coldly.His fists were already clenched.Mrs. Stones tilted her head."Oh, Jason... don't pretend you don't know."Mr. Anderson sighed quietly."Enough, Katey."His calm voice carried authority."Haven't you caused enough damage already?"Mrs. Stones laughed softly."I've only just begun, Max."Disappointment clouded Mr. Anderson's face."You've always been selfish.""You've never
