Chapter 155
He stops, looking at me curiously. “What is it, Fay?"
But I lose courage, folding my arms awkwardly over my chest. “Nothing,” I
murmur. “Actually, I'm not feeling well. I think I'm just gonna...”
Daniel takes a slow step away from me, putting his hands in his pockets. “Of
course, Fay,” he murmurs, his voice worried. “Whatever you need.”
I give him a little half smile and then head to the fridge, taking out a bottle of wine
and grabbing a glass from the counter. I don't look at him again as I scurry out
the door, though I can feel his eyes on
1. me.
“Coward,” I hiss, cursing myself as I hurry up the stairs. Damn it, at the first trial
of this new, powerful me I totally collapsed. I dart into my room, pressing the door
closed and taking a deep breath, closing my eyes as I steel myself.
I know that I owe Daniel more than that. But damn it, Janeen and I didn't plan
what I was going to say to him, and he caught me by surprise. But I could do it — I
figure out the best way to break it to him that I was leaving him for his dad —
“Oh my god,” I mutter, flying open. God damn it, but this was so

ridiculous.

I move across the room then, opening the bottle of wine and
pouring myself a big glass. This was Janeen’s advice too — a drink for courage,
but not so much that I get sloppy. There was, apparently, a fine balance. But I
drink the glass of wine quickly, my hands shaking a little as I glance towards the
door.
I don't know if I'm going to be able to find that balance tonight.
I pull a new phone out of my back pocket — one that Janeen gave me this
afternoon, one of her “burners,” she called it, that she
usually uses to text her married clients from the club who want a little more
anonymity.
Kent took away my phone when I first got here, but things are different now. I'm
not his son's fiancé who needs protection anymore. I work for him now — not just
as his girlfriend, but as his spy. And as such, I'm entitled to certain freedoms. Like
texting my sister whenever I want.
I send her a quick text now, hoping she can give me a little courage. My stomach
is all tied in knots.
Fay: Here now- part one of the plan went just as we want it to! Now, just sitting in
my room waiting for him to respond??
A few seconds later, her reply beeps through.
Janeen: You've got this, little sis! Remember — it's about what you

want. Don’t let him pressure you into moving faster than you want
1. to. Make him wait.
I nod to myself, bolstered by her words. That's right. It's about me now. And I may
have agreed to be his- his mistress-
God, I've got to stop getting nauseous when I think that word —
But he does not have any right to make me feel —
I jump as a knock sounds on the door and freeze, my eyes going wide. Oh my
god. Was that him? Does he want to....
I hesitate, waiting, but another knock doesn’t come. I put my wine glass down
and slowly walk to the door.
“Hello?” I whisper, sounding more anxious than I want to. But not reply comes.
I lean down to peak through the keyhole in my door, but I don't see anyone
standing there. Curious, I twist the knob and slowly pull it open.
Outside my door sits a white box tied with a red satin ribbon. I look up and down
the hallway but there's no one there. I quickly snatch the box, pulling it to my
chest as I slam the door closed and lean back against it, my breath coming
quickly.
Then, my curiosity getting the better of me, I hurry to my bed, quickly untying the
ribbon and pulling the top off the box.

blood turns to ice as I run my fingers over it, realizing what it means. As I lift it out
of the box, trying to figure
