Jenna’s words didn’t break me, but they sent my best friend into a fury.
She called my brother, Caleb, hoping he’d stick up for me.
But when the call connected, we heard Caleb’s voice mingling with Jenna’s.
“Gave my sister a piece of your mind. Feel better now?”
Of course.
The Cayenne belonged to my brother.
I hadn’t recognized it, probably because Caleb never, ever picked me up.
Yes, Caleb was in love with Jenna, too.
But he was more “noble” than Liam.
He wanted Jenna to have a respectable, happy life. He had repeatedly pushed Liam to marry her and had always been against my engagement to Liam.
A shame all his efforts were for nothing.
This marriage was about the merger of our family empires.
Not everyone was a lovesick fool like Caleb.
Certainly not Liam.
When the Vance and Blackwood families finalized our wedding date, Caleb had made a scene, demanding of Liam in front of our parents, “How can you do this to Jenna?”
Liam had just smiled coolly.
“Jenna who?” he’d said. “The only one I know is Caroline.”
Liam always knew how to play the game, which was why my father favored him.
But now…
I never thought the ever-composed Liam could be so reckless.
The moment someone snatched his precious canary, he didn't hesitate to put a knife to his fiancée’s throat.
