Chapter 16

“Misha, would you bring in some tea for us?” I ask her as Larissa takes a seat in Gable’s office. I didn’t have an office to take her too and Gable’s is private. I know no one will bother us. It’s not that I didn’t trust her, she did sign an NDA, but this is more of a formal visit.

“Of course, Mrs. Butler.” Misha heads out.

“This is the whitest place I’ve ever seen.” Larissa looks around. “Is there a reason?”

“It’s fresh, clean, and airy.” It’s hard to believe, but it is growing on me.

“I guess. So, are you going to explain the bruises?”

“Yes and much more. I may need some more professional help, too.”

Larissa gasps. “Did Gable hurt you?”

“Oh God, no. He would never hurt me.” I’m about to start when Misha comes back with a tray of drinks. I thank her and she leaves again. I sit across from Larissa and tell her everything about Jacob, the lies, the facts that I really do love Gable, and my plan. I know I shouldn’t be tell her any of this; however, she’s the one person who hasn’t lied to me and has an unbiased opinion.

“What is with your life lately?” Larissa shakes her head.

“Tell me about it. If this was a reality show, I would be richer than Gable.” I laugh.

“That plan is a bit vague, Dream. Does Gable know?”

“I know it is, and he doesn’t know a thing, but I’m going to tell him.” I won’t have secrets from him. He gave me his word and I gave him mine.

“Tell me what.” Gable comes into his office.

“I thought you left.” I look over at the door.

“No, not for a little bit. Hello, Ms. Dapont.” He holds his hand out to her and she shakes it. “So, what am I interrupting?”

I take a deep breath and say it, “I want Larissa to look into Jacob more, and I want to help her. She’s working at the DA’s office and she might be able to find out things and I saw things when I was at office, too.”

Gable doesn’t say anything. He only nods his head. I can’t tell if he’s mad or not. Maybe I should have talked to him first?

“Dad has been trying forever to nail his ass, but something always happens. I don’t know how much help I can really be. I’m working with Dad, and I might be able to figure out something to look into.” Larissa explains.

“Well, I have something to help.” I hand her a folder. “It’s Jacob’s accounting. His real accounting.”

Larissa’s eyes go wide and she begins to flip through the papers. “Dream, this is serious stuff. Where did you get it?”

“From the computers at Matherson’s Printing.”

“That’s a rookie mistake.” Gable chips in. “Why would those be on the old computers?”

“I thought the same thing, but there they are.” I point at them.

“May I see them?” He holds out his hand, and Larissa hands the papers over to him.

“Gable, if I’m not mistaken haven’t you and Mr.
