All this just to protect Marc and keep me in the same house as him.
“I’ve instructed the maid everything she needs to know about Marc. He's homeschooled so you can get the best tutors for him or send him to school. He doesn't need me again,” I stated.
Malachi kissed me, “Sleep on it and tell me how you feel in the morning.”
That night I didn't sleep a wink. I packed my luggage and I kept seeing the face of Faye.
Morning came sooner than expected and after a quick shower I dragged my suitcases outside.
It was finally happening. I was leaving.
But of course, I wasn’t going to leave in peace.
A slow clap echoed through the courtyard, followed by a familiar, mocking voice.
“Well, well, well,” Casey drawled, leaning against the pillar with a smirk. “Have you finally come to your senses?”
I sighed, Casey was Malachi’s mistress and Marc’s favorite.
I ignored her and kept walking, but she stepped into my path, tilting her head in amusement.
