SWNOVELS Chapter 109
Chapter 109
Daniel won’t let go of my hand once we’re back in the house.
1/3
“Daniel,” I say, exasperated, trying to yank my hand free while he pulls me down the hall. “Let go – are you seriously going to tattle
on me?”
He just shoots me a look over his shoulder, saying nothing as we arrive at the doors to his dad’s office. He knocks loud, twice. I sigh, shaking my head at him while we wait.
Honestly, it’s not that I think Daniel is being ridiculous – if I had found him flirting with someone who had tried to kill us only a little bit ago, I would be equally pissed. I just don’t really want to have
this conversation with Kent.
The door pulls open, Kent on the other side. He takes one look at us before stepping back and allowing us to enter. Daniel doesn’t drop my hand, but not because he’s trying to give me any love and support in the face of his father’s judgment. I’m his prisoner
and he’s not letting me go.
Daniel pulls me over to stand in front of Kent’s desk as Kent walks
around the other side. None of us sit.
“What happened,” Kent demands, folding his arms over his chest.

“Fay,” Daniel glares at me, saying my name like it’s a dirty word,
“had a nice intimate chat with her new buddy Ivan tonight. Drinks
too. And it looked like it was going somewhere.”
Keint frowns at Daniel then, surprising me. “So what?” he asks his son, shrugging a little. “Is this some kind of lover’s quarrel? Your
fiancé talked to another man, and you want me to do something
about it?”
Daniel’s jaw falls open at this. “Wha-” he sputters. “No, dad,
that’s obviously not the issue –”
Yeah, I think to myself, resisting the urge to roll my eyes, it’s not the issue because you’re not actually jealous – because you’re not
actually into me.
Daniel gestures to me then, his eyes still on his father. “Did you
not hear what I just said? She was talking to Ivan. Your enemy.”
Kent does shift his gaze to me at that moment and I can see him consider the situation, processing the details. I don’t move a muscle. Instead, I just hold his stare, my hand still in Daniel’s fist.
“Well?” Kent says finally, his face impassive. “What did he say?”
Daniel looks between us, agape. “Wait – are you serious?” He shouts at his father, “You’re not going to do anything about it? ”
Kent snaps his gaze to his son, glaring at him. “And what would you like me to do about it, Daniel? Go back in time and stop her?”

My lips twitch in pleasure at this. I, like Daniel, had been expecting Kent’s anger to be directed at me. But apparently, at least for now, I’m off the hook. Still, I quickly wipe the expression from my face. I don’t know where this is going, not really, and I don’t want to incur anyone’s wrath.
Daniel scowls, dropping my hand and crossing his own arms
across his chest, looking like his father’s double in this moment. I look between the two, struck again by their similarities.
