Chapter Eleven

Aiden didn’t call. I’d sent him a text message to check that he’d arrived home safely with the hope it might spark a conversation he’d be more comfortable having over the phone. It didn’t.

I met with my legal team on Monday morning, and they told me the news I didn't want to hear. In short, if my mother chooses to sign over her voting rights to Gavin for whatever reason, he would have the power to remove me as the head of the company. To stop this from happening, my only course of action was to make sure Mom didn’t give Gavin any power within Jacobs Publishing.

But before I can confront her with my doubts about her new husband, I need proof.

To get that proof, I need to talk to the man who has plagued my thoughts since the moment I met him. So I’m trying to work myself up to using the information in Harrison’s file and tracking Barrett down.

On Tuesday, I send Aiden a text and get no reply. That solidifies my resolve. I know what to do, it’s exactly what he said. I need to get Barrett out of my system and the only way I’m going to do that is to confront him. I need to find out exactly what happened between us in Vegas and why I’m inadvertently involved in his case. He’s also the only person who can give me the indisputable ammunition I need to protect my father’s legacy and my mother as well.

By Wednesday, I know I can’t put it off anymore. Seeing him again is inevitable. I need to see him—and if I’m honest with myself, not just for my Mom and the company. It’s for my own sanity, because if I keep spending my nights staring at that damn piece of paper with his address on it, then I will end up losing my mind. And that won’t help anyone.

That's why I'm standing outside the dark brown wooden door of his apartment, my clammy hands fisted at my side, my heart pounding like a drum against my chest. Being so close to seeing him again has all the anger and hurt and shame he'd made me feel bubbling right up to the surface. Yet I find myself desperate for answers more than anything else. Most of all, I want to know how spending only a few hours with this man has led to my life being flipped on its head.

I need to know the truth, even if the truth destroys me.

Before that trip to Vegas, I was comfortable and settled. I had my work, and I had Aiden—albeit I wasn’t being honest with either of us about my feelings. I was happy, I was good. Everything was right in my world.

My thoughts are interrupted when the door opens and in front of me stands the man of the hour. He’s wearing a fitted navy blue tee and loose-hanging sweat pants sitting low on his hips. I’ve never seen him so casual, and I stare at him unmoving for a few seconds until he clears his throat.
