BY SOME SMALL MIRACLE, her blackmail worked, although she had to pretend to call Scott—she actually dialed his number—and then pretended to ask to speak to her boss—she’d gotten his voicemail. She’d loudly pronounced, “Scott, I have something to tell you,” before Brandon had stomped over to her and demanded she hang up, which she had.

He’d insisted on taking his own car and he insisted on wearing a ratty pair of jeans with a hole in one knee and an equally tattered T-shirt. When she’d suggested he change, he’d glared at her. She’d decided not to push the matter.

They arrived just in time for the meeting. They were shown to the same small conference room as before. Vicky had a feeling that this meeting would be every bit as uncomfortable as the first.

Mathew Knight arrived with the ear-tugging Mrs. Parsons in tow. They didn’t even bother to sit down, the two of them stared down at Brandon like a judge and his bailiff.

“These are driving directions to our PR firm in downtown Charlotte.” Mr. Knight tossed a piece of paper at them both. Brandon didn’t even bother to swing it toward him from his position at the end of the table. Vicky did it for him.

“The name of the firm is Adopholus & Sons. You’ll report there on Thursday for an all-day session where you’ll learn how to handle yourself in front of television cameras and reporters.”

They wanted him to do media training, Vicky thought. Brilliant.

She glanced over at Brandon. His face looked as hard as the table they sat at.

“Here’s Thursday’s itinerary,” Mrs. Parsons said, her eyes as cold as glass, too. “And just so you know, Mr. Burke, I’ll be there, too.”

“I’m not going,” Brandon retorted.

“You’ll go, and you’ll go happily,” Mr. Knight said, crossing his arms in front of him.

“Brandon—” Vicky said. “Do I have to call Scott?”

He shot her a look. She warned him with her eyes. His lashes lowered. “Fine. I’ll go. But not without her.”

“What?” Vicky exclaimed, snapping her gaze on Brandon again. “I don’t need to go. I can’t go. I’m quitting. Remember?”

“You’re quitting?” Mr. Knight said. “You mean, you’re no longer Brandon’s agent?”

“Well, yeah, I guess you could say that.”

“I’m not going without her,” Brandon said again.

“Brandon, I can’t go,” she said. “And you know why.”

“Then I suggest you call Scott,” Mr. Knight said.

“Scott will fly down and be with you,” she said to Brandon, pasting a politely professional smile on her face.

“Fine,” Mr. Knight said. “I don’t care who goes, as long as he’s there,” he said, wagging a finger at his driver.

“Whatever,” Brandon said, leaning back in his seat and crossing his own arms.

Why did he have to make things so difficult?

Because he hated authority, a voice answered. Because he couldn’t stand being told what to do. Because, ultimately, Brandon sought to control his own life by forcing his will on others.

Much as she’d forced her will on him—and so now he did it back to her.

She almost groaned.

“You’ll need to memorize these before you arrive,” Mrs.
