Chapter 126
Kent smirks, glad to see his words have found their mark. “If you're not going to
keep the girl happy in our house, then...” he waves a casual hand in front of him,
as if the solution is obvious.
“I'm happy to step in.”
Daniel snaps his mouth shut, glaring at his father.
“Fine,” Daniel grinds out, angry to have been put in his place. “But you back off
and leave this to me.”
Kent shrugs, pretending he’s happy to do it. But, ultimately, he knows that Daniel
will fail at this task — it’s not really in him to keep a woman happy. And, deep
down, Kent knows that he wants to be
the one to do it.
“How are plans going for the wedding?” Daniel asks, rueful.
Kent raises an eyebrow at this. “Finally curious about your own wedding, then?
Frankly, it's bizarre that two such young people — people in love at that have
never asked any questions about the plans. The location. The ceremony. The
honeymoon.”
Daniel wrinkles his nose a little at this. “You planned our honeymoon for us?” he
asks, a little appalled.
“Two weeks in Italy,” Kent says softly. “You're going to have a
Chapter 126 lovely time.”

Daniel scowls, knowing then that he’s been beat. His father was right, of course —
he had been neglecting the girl.
“The wedding is a month away,” Kent continues, smirking a little at the look of
defeat on his son’s face. “You still have time to take a larger role in convincing
her that loyalty to the Lippert family is
her best choice.”
“Fine,” Daniel snaps, looking his father in the eye. “I'll do it. Can you...” He
hesitates, then, realizing he was just about to ask his dad to arrange dinner out
with Fay tonight, to use his connections to get a last-minute table for him
somewhere nice.
“Yes?” Kent asks, still smirking. “Can I...”
“Nevermind,” Daniel says, turning away from him. He can do this
himself.
“Have a nice night,” Kent calls after his son as he walks out of the office. Kent's
glad, in the end. It's about time Daniel was shamed into taking on some
responsibility. Even if that responsibility was just making his damn girlfriend
happy. Kent rolls his eyes at this thought. You wouldn't think that he'd have to
work so hard to get
Daniel to do that.
If he were in his place...
Well. Kent turns away from the thought, not needing to go there

right now.
But it nags at him, pulling his mind away from his work.
Because...

Well, damnit, why didn’t Daniel work harder to keep her happy?
And what was going to happen when Daniel lost interest in it, as he certainly
would, and let her attention wander again. If Daniel
wasn’t the right man for the job, who the hell was?

Kent instantly knows what the
answer to that question is: him. He's
the one who wants Fay in his back
pocket. He wanted her for the
leverage she represented to Alden
and because...well. Because he
wanted her. But did he really need

Impulsively, Kent gets up from his
chair and leaves his office, jogging up
the stairs to Fay's room. As he walks
to her door he finds it open. He
pauses there silently, watching her
sort through her closet, considering a
choice between dresses. The content
