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 143

Anika Justice...

Anika didn't attend the funeral. Jacob didn't know, but she was planning to visit Judah's house. She wanted to get Sutton and her son out of there. Not because she had a special love for Sutton or anything, but watching her brother the past week as he moped around after Nicole's death was something she never wanted to witness again.

She needed a plan, but couldn't come up with any. She wasn't very good with actions. She preferred to sit behind a business desk and draw up financial strategies. She didn't know what the hell she was getting herself into.

Anika wandered around the kitchen, absentmindedly throwing ingredients together for a peanut butter sandwich. The plate slipped from her hands and clattered to the floor.

"My God! Anika!" a voice screeched from the doorway.
