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.

Chapter 102

Jacob Mackay

Three pairs of eyes turned toward that voice. Brin's face was white with shock, and she looked like she was having a panic attack. Jacob could see tears pooling in her eyes. She moved to go closer to Ryker, who was on his feet, but Sutton held her back. Brin stared hard at Ryker, willing him to discredit Grant's statement. Ryker stood helplessly and just looked on. A single tear rolled down Brin's cheek, and she tore away from Sutton and ran away as fast as she could.

Sutton turned immediately in pursuit and with the speed of lightning, Jacob stood up and held her back with a shake of his head. She struggled to get away, but his hold on her was tight, though it wasn't enough to hurt her.
