The Billionaire’s Broken Contract
Riley's POV
Brett's silence stretches too long as I watch his face cycle through emotions shock, fear, then something darker.
"Brett," I say, touching his arm gently. "What aren't you telling me?"
"Marcus was special ops," he finally admits, running a hand through his hair. "Black ops. The kind of missions that don't exist on paper."
"What does that mean?" My voice comes out smaller than I intended.
"It means if Amanda exposes certain details about his service record, people die," Brett explains, his jaw tight with tension. "Current operatives. Assets in the field. Marcus could face treason charges."
