“Had you dealt with her a long time ago, I wouldn’t be working at this dreadful job and I wouldn’t be stuck here in Manhattan married to a man I can hardly stand. I’ve always wanted only one thing, Quintin… to be with you.”
Holy hell. I’ve heard enough, I need to get out of here now.
I shove my phone inside my bag in a hurry and I crawl from under the desk. I run to the door and grab the stairs instead of waiting for the elevator. By the time I reach the fourteenth floor, I’m out of breath and sweating after rushing down six floors, but I’m too afraid to stop now. I can’t believe what I’ve heard. My grandmother never trusted Quintin and now I find out he killed my father to silence him. Is Jennifer also responsible for my parents’ death?
There are millions of questions colliding in my head, but I keep running down the stairs as if my jacket is on fire. I get out of the office building so fast I bump into a few people, who let me know in no uncertain terms how annoyed they are with me. The sidewalk is already bustling with New Yorkers making their way to work and my abrupt arrival doesn’t deter any of them.
My handbag got caught in the handle as I was flying out the door. I straighten up and head back towards the entrance of Sassy magazine to unhook my bag. Once I get over the humiliation, I hail a cab. I need to get as far away as possible from Jennifer.
Getting a cab during morning rush hour in Manhattan is as easy as crossing the Nile River in Egypt by foot. As soon as I see a free one approaching, someone else jumps in front of me and snatches it from me. After fifteen frustrating minutes, I finally dash towards one before a suited executive standing next to me spots it. Once I’m safely seated at the back of the taxi, I give the cabbie my directions as I dial Gabe’s phone to let him know about Jennifer’s involvement in this sordid story and to inform him I’m on my way to his office with the recording of the conversation I just overheard. When Gabe lets me know he’ll call one of his contacts at NYPD and request for a detective to come to his office to meet me, I know this case is about to get scarier and more twisted than it already is. I immediately call Max, Lia, Lexi and Devin to let them know I may have inadvertently walked in on the confession of the century.
Chapter 10
Six months later
Max and I are sitting at the back of his chauffeured Mercedes Benz and we’re on our way to meet friends. My boyfriend has gathered Lia, Devin, Lexi, his brother Gabe, Francis, Sheena and Deidra in the private room of the VIP members’ den on the forty-first floor of the Bymark hotel for a special gathering. He’s also invited his parents and his younger brother Lucas, who’s coming with his pregnant wife Keira to join us.
Today is a big day of celebration for all of us, but especially for me. God, I still can’t believe this gorgeous man sitting next to me is mine. I lose myself in his loving gaze before turning away to admire nightfall in New York as the car whizzes down a main artery.
The past few months have been surreal. After five long and traumatizing years, my parents have finally been vindicated. The last six months have been a journey into the past where I was finally able to discover why my parents had been so brutally murdered. After the verdict came in and it was clear this nightmare was behind me, Max whisked me away to his home in Brazil where we’ve been staying for the past six weeks until we came back to New York four days ago.
The first few days in Rio were pure agony. I couldn’t stop crying from sadness and joy. I was crushed by the weight of the truth and I was also liberated once and for all.
During the trial, Max asked me to move in with him. I was spending most nights at his place anyways because the thought of being at my place without Leo was becoming more and more unbearable, but Max wanted to make it official between us.
