Chapter 2
Brielle glanced at the date on her phone screen and realized she'd lost herself in
another night.
Outside, the rain was coming down in buckets, and the warmth wrapped around
her waist tightened like vines. She reached for her phone and saw it was
Spencer calling, so she hit the answer button.
“Hello?”
The man beside her seemed to stir awake. Brielle quickly lowered her voice,
“Spencer,
what's up?”
Her throat was so hoarse she could barely speak, so she got out of bed to pour
herself at glass of water to soothe it.
“Where have you been these past couple of days? Lillian and I have been texting
you like crazy, and you haven't responded.”
Brielle tied her robe and met the man’s gaze as she lifted her head. He had a
strong presence, with a high nose and deep-set eyes, which gave him an air of
aloof coolness.
A sense of relief washed over her: Sure, she was spent, but at least she'd
managed to cheat on Spencer as well.
What goes around comes around.
“Well, I didn’t see them. Is there something wrong?” Brielle nonchalantly picked
up the suit jacket from the floor.
“Uncle Max is back in town. I'm picking you up in ten minutes for a family dinner.”
Before Brielle could reply, Spencer hung up. Brielle raised an eyebrow and then
turned to
Max.
“Uncle Max, you are going back home?” Her tone was teasing and alluring.
Just then, a knock came at the door.
Was Spencer here already?
She glanced at Max, searching for even a hint of guilt on his face. Nothing. He
looked as
casual as if he were in his own home.
Brielle pointed to the bathroom and chuckled. My fiancé’s here. Mind hiding out
for a bit?” Her tone was casual, but the message was clear.
The voice outside was unfamiliar. “Ms. Brielle, I'm here to deliver Mr. Dorsey's
clothes.”

After bringing him to this apartment while he was drunk, she never imagined
they'd end tangled together more than once.
She thought to ease into a conversation, but her phone rang again. It was
Spencer, sounding impatient. “Are you coming down?”
She thought about the fact that the guest of honor at the family dinner was still
here, so why rush?
But Spencer had little patience for her, “The rain’s heavy, and there's traffic
ahead. Don’t make me wait, and remember your place.”
His disdain was undisguised.
