The return of the Heiress
It was a tiny sound, I savored it.
“What did you do?” Alex’s voice was low, dangerous.
“Do? I didn’t do anything. She came to me. She finally saw the truth. She realized who’s actually been there for her. Who values her.” I took another bite. “It’s a beautiful thing, Alex. Realization. I wish you could have seen her face. So full of… promise. For us.”
“You’re lying.”
“Am I?” I laughed, a light, cruel sound. “Ask her. Better yet, wait. You’ll see for yourself very soon. She’s… she’s everything I ever wanted. And tomorrow, it all becomes official. She’s planning something special. She wants no more secrets.”
