This side of him is cunning and dangerous. If it weren't for Mrs. Geoffrey's inadvertent revelation, she might never have guessed.

The dreams she had nurtured for so many years finally shattered. Fortunately, she had anticipated this outcome long ago. So, even though her heart was wracked with intense pain, she could bear it without letting tears fall.
The familiar ringtone of her phone pierced the silence of the moment...
Rebecca Quentin withdrew her distant gaze and took out her phone.

Taking a deep breath, Rebecca Quentin pressed the answer button, "Hello."
Howard Geoffrey's voice was deep and magnetic, "Babe."
"Mm."
