Chapter 88

Stunned, Danny wandered down the hall. As always, his mother had inside information and seemed to know everything. Only this time she’d somehow missed the most important tidbit—Nessa didn’t know that he and Evan were married. And now she was scrambling to get her hands on the Dwyer business. Only due to the contract she’d been so intent on signing, Evan was now the titular head of that business. A choked laugh burst out of his throat. His mother had been bested by a—what did she call him?—an insignificant player? Not so insignificant now, was he?

Danny jerked to a halt and put his hand on the wall for support. Had Evan known all along? Was that the reason for the secret wedding—so that he could claim the Dwyer business? Was Evan using Danny just as Nessa had used him for personal gain? A wave of nausea nearly brought him to his knees. It couldn’t be true. Could it? He had to talk with Evan. He had to know.
