Chapter 97 Evelyn’s voice trembled. “Jake… are you saying p> “Yes, mom!” Jake snapped. “If Helena and I had been talking, if there was even a chance of it, maybe it would’ve made sense. But I never liked her! I never even had her number! Yet somehow, she ends up
Chapter 96 Jake’s tires screeched as he pulled into the sweeping driveway of the Stones mansion, the grand white structure standing still and silent against the dusk.

Chapter 81 The drive to work that morning felt longer than usual. Jake’s head still throbbed faintly from the night before, and every red light on the way to StoneTech seemed to last an eternity. His thoughts swirled in circles — fragments of memory, flashes of Helena’s smug expression, and
