The Billionaire's Devotion

(Excerpt—) Their faces were still inches apart, breaths entangling. Instead of her lips, he kissed her on the cheek before pulling away to look at her. She wasn't looking at him anymore. She had trained her eyes on the view outside the window. "We could try again," Jacob said. "I don't know what you want from me." Sutton replied in a quiet voice. "I'll keep my word this time around. Six months and I'll set you free, Sutton Price."  Sutton wasn't listening anymore. Something else was on her mind. She brought her eyes to him again, and her next words were not what he expected.

Jacob Mackay...

Jacob walked to the front door and noticed that the living room light was on. He could see the illumination as it seeped through from beneath the door. He was wired to observe things like that.

She might have been the one to have left the lights on, but he highly doubted it because Anika had been out-of-town today. He wondered if she came home early. Looking a bit tensed and puzzled, he pushed the door open and the strangest sight he never imagined seeing greeted him. Nicole was lying on the sofa, staring at the ceiling. She got immediately after she heard him enter.
