“The combination of Frankie’s death and the Italian deal going south probably did it, but yes. As his sister, he might want to interrogate you, and I won’t let him do that,” Jack replies, his free hand gripping mine with the tickets to make them crumple lightly. “It’ll cause problems if it’s reported back to Ireland. We don’t need anything that could make them put a microscope on us.”
“Okay,” that’s right. With everything going on, I’d forgotten that Frankie’s gang’s drug deal with the Italians was a bust. What does that mean for us? New York is no Boston. It must take a real monster to control the place, and Jack’s tentativeness is concerning. I shake my head of my troubled thoughts before pointing beyond us. “Help me with this? I have to hang up some more stuff.”
“Of course.” Jack agrees, and I walk around the desk to get my phone from my purse. I fold the tickets and stuff them into the front pocket after sending a picture of them to Carrie. She responds quickly, sending a slew of happy-cry emojis and two thumbs up. I sigh heavily as I look around my classroom, running my hands up my face and through my hair.

HIS RUTHLESS OBSESSION
CHAPTERONE
Icurse under my breath whenthe curling iron burns the soft skin of my neck. I yank it out of my hair and rub the sore patch it left behind, wincing as it stings.
I toss the curling iron onto the sink counter and look my reflection on the mirror—the girl looking back at me is just as miserableas I am.
I'm not sure why I'm making such an effort to look nice for a man I've never met. It wasn't like I had much of a choice in the matter. In truth, I'd rather not waste my time and simply meet him at the altar.
But my father had ordered me to leave. I'm supposed to meet him and get to know him before we walk out of the church hand in hand, bells ringing above us.
To me, it appears to be a waste of time. In the end, whether I find him charming or not, we're getting married.
My father has always had a funny way about proprietors; deals had to be done correctly or else they were more likely to bite you in the assin the end. His words, not mine.
Regardless, here I am. Getting all dolled up for a man I don’t even know, let alone like.
I give up on trying to fix my curls into something that isn’t a wild, tangled mess and quickly spritz myself with perfume before heading out of the bathroom. I grab the bag hanging by the door and slip my hand inside of it to pull out my phone. I quickly text my driver to tell him to pull around.
In my gut, I know I more than likelywon’tlike my fiancé-to-be. As soon as my father gave me his name, I hopped right onto my computer and ran it through Google, pulling up his entire profile and sifting through every piece of information I could get my hands on.
By all accounts, Ben Thomas isn’t a particularly remarkable man. He’s slipped under the radar like most nepotism babies. He has seemed to stay out of trouble for the most part. The real problem is his father, Edgar.
