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 101

Jacob Mackay

"I'll do anything." Those were the words Jacob longed to hear and the moment they spilled out of Drew's mouth felt like a moment of Truth for Jacob. He felt like flipping out and screaming in joy, but he put a lid on his emotions.

"Come on," he said and helped Drew to his feet. The man stumbled and Jacob shot out his hand to steady Drew. He got the man under control and helped him back into the couch he just stood up from. Jacob patted his shoulder and nodded at him encouragingly.

"You made the right choice." He praised Drew and handed him a credit card. "It's unlimited. Use it to put yourself in order. And come see me tomorrow." Drew took the credit card from Jacob and nodded, still looking like he was in a daze. Jacob understood it wouldn't be easy for the man to be hopeful about seeing his daughter again after so many years of searching for her.
