CHAPTER 19

Johnathan

I fucking hate Isabella.

I wave at a few of my men standing guard out front as I walk into the building. They insisted on being here early if I was going to be here, especially to meet with Isabella. I lean on the wall and wait for the elevator. How is it that I’m the one in charge and she’s the one bossing me around? And what’s gotten into her anyway? I’ve grown so used to her being in the background that I never expected her to start requesting private meetings out of nowhere. And now that my dad is gone…how convenient.

A surge of panic shoots through me. Is this the agreement my father was talking about? Is my marriage somehow roped into something worse than being chained to Isabella? My mind races all the way up to the fortieth floor. No wonder we’ve been hitting a wall these last few nights. I’ve been so focused on Kylie not finding about Isabella that I didn’t even think to check her dad’s files. If I’m going to figure this out, I need to fully trust her. Once I’m done talking with Isabella, I’ll tell Kylie the truth. Hopefully she won’t kill me, considering my latest discovery.

The office is quiet with no one in it. Different than the silent nights that I spend with Kylie. It’s like the sunrise brings a quiet anticipation for the day. A serene kind of silence that I can use a bit more often. But today is not that kind of morning. The sunlight blinds me the moment I walk into my office. Jeez, did the cleaning crew forget to shut the blinds?

“Good morning!”

Her voice sets my heart into overdrive, and I shield my eyes to get a better look at the room. The conference table is once again littered with folders. Kylie sits in her usual chair, the same outfit she wore last night still on. Her hair has fallen loose around her shoulders, and I can’t help but eye the few top buttons that have come undone. Even a bit disgruntled, she still looks like a dark beauty.

“Kylie,” I say, voice strained. “What are you doing here? I thought I sent you home last night.”

“Well, I came back.” She shrugs, eyes glued to the papers. “I was planning on going home to change and grab some breakfast before you arrived, but here you are. Mr. Early Bird.”

“You should go now then,” I encourage. “Before everyone starts walking in, you can sneak out and get refreshed.”

“I have a few pages left in this folder and then I’ll go.”

She’s still lost in the thrill of the chase, oblivious to the panic stirring inside of me. I clear my throat and try to casually walk toward my desk. I have to figure out a way to get her out of here before—

“Knock, knock,” Isabella’s sing-song voice chimes as she throws the door open. Her eyes immediately fall on Kylie. “Oh, you already have your assistant working through the night.
