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. "What really happened to Perseus Castle?"  Jacob's hand fell away from Sutton's. His adam apple bobbed as he searched her face.

Chapter 74

                          Jacob Mackay

Anika Justice requested an audience with him. At first, he had second thoughts about answering the call because it was none other than Anika Justice on the line. She invested in a couple of projects Mayce embarked on and the plans for that were in progress. Jacob didn't think it would be smart entertaining a conversation with anyone from Mayce until he found common ground with his father.

Jacob couldn't for the life of him figure out why she would want to meet up. And the location she had given him gave the inclination that this wasn't for business. He couldn't turn down the woman. He just couldn't.

Jacob took Fox's car with him. He took another bend that opened eight into fourth second Street and by the curb was Anika's car sitting in place like it was parked randomly. Jacob parked behind her car and got out just at the same time as she. Anika waved him over with a smile.
