Thomas took the contract and glanced at it; the date was exactly as I had said.
Who moved in first was now crystal clear.
There wasn’t the slightest hint of embarrassment on his face; if anything, he became even more relentless.
"Then you move out!"
"Why should I?"
I stood my ground, staring him down.
Thomas immediately gave me a scrutinizing look, his eyes narrowing as he sized me up.
"Living so close, are you sure you won’t go mad watching me and Jess be all happy and in love in front of you every day? Over time, you might lose your mind."
I smiled.
"Don’t flatter yourself too much. I’ll live just fine without you—and I’ll live better. The only question is, will your little lover stay loyal to you forever? Don’t be surprised if one day she sells you out and you’re there counting the money for her."
If the seemingly invincible heir Thomas had a weakness, it would definitely be Jessica.
The Brookes Family had fallen on hard times years ago and it was only through Jessica’s sacrifices to Thomas that they managed to cling to any semblance of stability.
