Chapter 115: Confessional

I couldn’t fall asleep.

As much trouble as Joan had caused, I couldn’t shake the feeling that she was right. Maybe the Peterson family was in danger again from the threat of Bennett Klein.

Bennett was a dangerous man that had killed people and tried to steal Ellis’ fortune by kidnapping our son.

Maybe Ellis would need someone else with him to help secure Peterson's future.

I couldn’t entertain such thoughts.

As long as Ellis would want me, then I would stay. Not only would I stay, but I would fight like hell to do whatever he would need from me.

I wanted to be by his side as long as he wanted me there.

As I turned over, I caught Ken sleeping on the long couch near the balcony doors. He didn’t like sleeping in bed, mentioning the smell of this room like it was cloaked with mildew.

I know he just missed his bed at Ellis’ home, but he was sticking it out for me.

My hands toyed with the sheets, my eyes clinging to the ceiling while my mind was riddled with pressure.
