After I’d come to on the couch outside Harrison’s office, with a very worried Aiden hovering over me, Harrison handed me the folder of information he’d collected on both Gavin and Special Agent Mark Barrett Lucas. He promised us that he’d look deeper into Gavin’s business dealings without raising alarm with the FBI and also find out whether Gavin had made any moves involving Jacobs Publishing.

It didn’t put my mind at ease but at least it meant—with Harrison and Aiden’s help—I could get some warning if Gavin did make a move against me.

When we left Harrison’s offices, Aiden told me he was taking me out for dinner before heading to the airport later that night. We parked the car in my underground parking garage then walked hand in hand around the corner to a great hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurant.

Once we had been seated at a table in the back of the room, we ordered drinks and quickly chose a selection of entrées to share. I knew I was being quiet, and once our drinks had been delivered, Aiden wasted no time in getting me to talk.

“Are you sure you’re okay? I could call the captain, take a few more days . . .”

I reached across the table and put my hand over his. “I’m okay, I promise.”

Aiden looked into my eyes for a beat too long, and I knew by his tightened jaw that I was doing a shit job in hiding all of the indecision warring inside of me.

My mind was in overdrive. I needed to talk to my mom about Gavin and to my legal team to determine how much power he had now that he’d married my mother. When my father had died, the company was split fifty-one to forty-nine between my mother and myself. Mom decreed that I was to have operational control of the company on her behalf. This was because my mother had no interest in publishing; it was a passion that only my father and I shared, and she would never have dreamed of taking that—and the last part of him—away from me.

Aiden flipped his hand over and laced his fingers in mine, then lifted them up to his mouth and placed a soft kiss on my knuckles. “Aly, you fainted in shock. You’re not fine.”

“It was a surprise. I didn’t even consider that Mom wouldn’t protect herself or the company.”

“She probably wasn’t expecting an impromptu wedding,” Aiden replied, taking a swig of his beer bottle. “She also doesn’t suspect her husband.” His tone changed when he said that, and I couldn’t help but wonder if there was a double meaning behind his words.

“I should’ve told her.”

“You probably should’ve said something,” he conceded. “Even if you only have suspicions, it’s always better to tell someone if you are having doubts rather than keep it to yourself.” His eyes dropped from mine and he took another long drink, focusing his attention on anything other than me.

“Is everything okay, Aiden?”

His head jerked back only slightly before he let go of my hand and rubbed his palms over his face then through his hair.
