There was a line of people who cared about her. What did Julian Grant count for?
Jessie Sterling's words had been utterly merciless. Back when their families were arranging the marriage, she'd never seen Julian Grant show much care or affection for her. Now, he was suddenly so concerned. Jessie couldn't help but feel this was a classic case of a man's baser instincts at work.
'Something he once thought was in the bag, his for the taking, suddenly no longer belonged to him. Did that mean the very thing he used to scorn had now become some hot commodity?'
'Clearly, some people were just sick in the head, thinking that only things you had to fight for were worth having.'
Julian Grant paled at Jessie Sterling's merciless words. He looked at her beautiful side profile, now devoid of any smile, and sighed inwardly. To be honest, Julian still couldn't figure out how things between him and Jessie had ended up like this.
