ANTHONY stepped out of the taxi in front of Grace’s building. She refused to stay at his home, part of her determined plan of secrecy. It was true that some of the other executives lived in his building, but it still rankled. His cell phone rang and he pulled it from the pocket of his jacket, glancing at the screen. He frowned as he answered it.

“Yes, sir?” he knew that his father would frown at being called sir. They’d never been very close. Between the boarding schools and the divorces, they had never had much of a relationship. The running of Callahan Industries had been their only point of agreement.

“Would it be too difficult for you to call me father?” Johnathon Callahan asked.

“Is there a reason for this call?” Anthony asled grimly, as he pressed the buzzer for Grace to let him in.

“Am I interrupting your busy social life, son? You’ve been out and about an awful lot lately. Maybe you should bring her to the gala. Your stepmother would be very happy about that.”

Anthony smiled at the mention of his stepmother. Marianne was the best decision his father had ever made. She came from old money, but she was simply the most down to earth person he’d ever met. He adored her and all her many causes. “I can’t make any promises about that, but I’ll see what I can do.”

“Please don’t start talking about prenups,” Anthony said, heading up the stairs.

“I wasn’t going to. I was going to tell you that if she’s that special to you, don’t let anything get in your way.”

Anthony paused on the landing. His father’s words hanging heavily between them. Grace was that important to him, but what worried him was that his father had clued in to it. Was he being that obvious, or was there something amiss with his father that he didn’t know about? “Is everything okay?”

Johnathon laughed. “Yes. I’m not checking out on you yet. I’ve just been reflecting on life and all the wasted time... I’d like to see grandchildren before I die, Anthony, and be a better grandfather than I ever was a father.”

“Well, there’s no pressure there,” he said, continuing the climb. “You’re putting a damper on the romantic evening I had planned.”

“I’d hate to be responsible for that. Tell Grace I said hello.”

Anthony nearly dropped the phone. By the time he recovered and was ready to issue a denial, his father had already disconnected the call. He didn’t know how his father knew, how he’d discovered the truth, but it would require further investigating. The one thing he did know was that he would most certainly not be passing along the message. The last thing he needed was for Grace to go into panic mode. He climbed the rest
