Bryce “I want everything you can find on Mc Broten. I want to know who he’s talking to, where his money’s going, and all his movements.”Darien smiled. “Legal or illegal methods?”I shot him a look. “Do I look like I care? Just tell me where he and that idiot Stanley go and who they’re talking to.” I glanced at the rendering on my table. “I’m just wondering what his plan is. If he’s with Marcus? They’re up to no good.”He nodded. “And Mrs Stanley?”I ground my jaw. “I would still like updates but focus on these two for now.”Those two were more important problems plus Sydney was smarter than Eric gave her credit for. She definitely knew something was up with that adoption and she already said Eric was a fraud. She just didn’t know how big a fraud he was.Not like I could tell her. That would mean admitting that part of the reason I agreed to this facade was more than business and whatever attraction I felt for her.It was because I’d been hunting Eric Stanley for years and since he h

Sydney My fingers drummed on the table, staring at Eric. He was standing at the head of the table in front of his seat and I sat three chairs away from him. I adjusted my white blouse, which I had paired with navy pants earlier this morning.I’d barely slept last night. After pretending to be exhausted, I’d snuck off to Miles’s room, put him to bed, and spent the next few hours coordinating with my assistant about onboarding Ian.He had needed a bit of convincing but once I told my father and showed him Marcus’s records, Dad was on board. He spoke to Ian and he agreed immediately.Eric pointed at his PowerPoint presentation as he spoke. He was giving a speech on the West Coast expansion and he looked so good that I couldn’t entirely blame myself for being fooled in the past.“And this is why ladies and gentlemen, I’m confident that Marcus McBroten is the ideal candidate to lead this division.” He clicked his remote and the screen moved to a slide showing Marcus’s credentials.“You ca

Sydney “I don’t know.” I swallowed, my voice low because others were still milling around.Why the hell was he flirting with me? His eyes darkened slightly.“Well, I think I would…”I swallowed again and his smile widened. He was flirting with me. Openly. I should stop this and step back but I couldn’t. I looked away, hating the heat rushing to my face when I saw Kara hurrying out.Something hateful settled in my chest. She was probably going to console her boyfriend. The miserable two probably thought they would make progress in their plans today.Fools.“Sydney,”I turned around at the sound of the voice. It was Dad walking towards us. He looked good. He was wearing his signature black suits and there was such pride in his eyes.My chest tightened. In my first life, Eric had murdered my father and I never quite recovered. It was a blessing to see him here. A second chance and a reminder that I needed to stop Eric as soon as possible.“I’ll give you guys your moment,” Bryce whispere

Sydney “Oh, nothing. Just fighting with Eric.” I sighed, keeping my voice low even though he was still in the bedroom and I’d moved to the kitchen.“What? Over the board thing right?”“Yeah. And he thinks…” I stopped, taking a breath. “He thinks you and I are having an affair.”I could hear him chuckle. “Are we?”He sounded calm but I could hear what he was implying. To be honest, maybe I had cheated but I didn’t have the time for an affair. Not at this point when Eric was getting a little too close.“I don’t know.” I ran a hand through my hair. “But that’s not the point. The point is he’s driving me insane. He’s yelling and I don’t even know if I can bear one more moment.”“Then don’t.” Bryce shot back. “Come to my place. We can have dinner and talk about our next move.”I froze. How could he so casually suggest that? I should say no. Firstly, Eric was already suspicious and then, there were all the crazy things I felt when I was near Bryce. Things I shouldn’t be feeling.“I don’t k

Sydney It was a slow kiss and I wanted more. So much more. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer. His hands slid down my waist, holding me like he couldn’t let go.I moaned against his mouth as his hands slid up, under my arms, rubbing my breasts from the side. I let out a low moan, my body quivering.He moved his hand and slid it under my cardigan, touching my skin. He tugged at the hem and I pulled back, long enough for us to pull the cardigan over my head. His eyes settled on my blue coloured bra and he let out a groan leaning forward.He kissed my ear, dropping kisses down my arm, and tugged at the straps of my bra, unhooking it with his other hand. He pulled off the bra, tossing it on the floor, his hands cupping my breasts.I let out a moan as he tugged on my nipples, our breathing filling the room. He returned his lips to mine, his tongue sliding into my mouth. I moaned and reached for his tongue, twirling mine around his.Bryce stood up slowly, pushing off the
