“Why did you touch her?” Tyler’s voice was angry. “What were you thinking?”

“I thought you wanted us to test her, to see how far she would go.” Grant’s face twisted. “Isn’t this the test?”

“This is different.”

“I don’t know what’s changed.” Grant blinked.

“You don’t need to know, Sir.”

“You’re overdoing it now, Tyler. There’s no need to call me Sir.” Grant looked annoyed.

“That’s how a driver would address his boss, is it not?”

“I’m not your boss.”

“You know our arrangement, Grant.”

“It just feels weird.” He sighed. “I don’t know. I think we should just let her leave. She’s finding out too much information.”

“You gave Eugenie drugs?”

“What?” Grant swallowed.

“Her letters say you gave her drugs.”

“It was...” Grant sighed. “I didn’t even know Eugenie wrote any letters.” He bit his lower lip. “Why did you tell Evie about her anyway?”

“That was a mistake.” Tyler clenched his fists. “But that’s why she has to stay.” Tyler’s voice was hoarse. “We can’t have her knowing too much. What if she found something else and didn’t tell me?”

“I don’t think this is a good idea.” Grant sounded angry. “I think we should just let her go.”

“I’m not done with her.” Tyler’s voice was loud and in control, but I could hear his anger. “And what I say goes, remember?”

“I thought I was in charge?”

“You thought a lot of things, Grant. But your time is over. If you want to continue getting paid, you’ll do as I say. Evie stays, and I want you to keep the fuck away from her.”

“She’ll never choose you over me.” Grant sounded pissed. “Especially not when she hears the truth.”

“What truth, Grant?” Tyler’s voice was soft as he spoke, and he looked at Grant with a deadly expression. I wanted to step out of the closet so I could see them better and ask them what this was all about, but I didn’t dare move. Something told me I hadn’t heard everything yet.

“Once she knows you’re the billionaire and not me,” Grant licked his lips, “and once she knows Eugenie was your ex, not mine... Once she knows, it’ll be over for you.”

“And how do you think she’ll find out?” Tyler took a step towards him, and I held my breath. If he looked to the right, he might see me. I knew if he saw me it would all be over for me. I knew he’d see the shock in my face. I knew he’d see that I was devastated. He was the billionaire? He was the one who had dated Eugenie? Why had he been trying to help me escape then?

“I’m going to tell her.” Grant’s voice boomed. “I’m going to tell her it was your decision to keep her here. I’m going to tell her it was you who wouldn’t let her leave.”

I stepped back and put my hand over my mouth in fear. I’d been duped. Well and truly duped, and I had no idea what I was going to do. My whole body froze in fright as I realized I could hear the breathing of another person next to me.
