It was uncomfortable as hell for Bella to talk to the board members. Many of them acted as if they didn’t like her. A few had given their condolences on the loss of her mother, saying they knew her grandfather.
But otherwise, no one was talking.
Perhaps giving them a night or two to think on it might help.
Bella’s gaze slid out the window.
She was getting married in eight days. Well, she thought she had been.
You have a decision to make. If you love him, I cannot marry you.
Why not? This had never been about love.
I will certainly never share you, Bella.
Damn, this man was confusing. Did he have growing feelings for her? Or something else.
Her first reaction as they’d left Kennedy Enterprises was a fear that Blake would start backing out. That he’d used Cain as the excuse.
Hmm.
Irritation blurred with the raft of other emotions she was dealing with. That and she was exhausted.
First, she had to see Cain. If she didn’t, she’d always wonder why he had left.
She had no intention of not marrying Blake when she’d accepted the offer to meet Cain for drinks. Now she was confused.
Was this fate intervening?
Were her feelings for Blake wrong? After all, if he was going to fall in love with her, wouldn’t he have done it by now?
Decision made, Bella texted Blake to let him know she’d be staying in NYC for a few more days and he could return to Philadelphia on his family jet without her.
All she wanted was an hour to chat with Cain to find out the truth.
The man is in love with you.
Was Blake right?
If he’d said he was jealous of her ex, that he had fallen for her, and didn’t want her alone with him, it would make sense. But he hadn’t.
While Bella was falling deeper and deeper, Blake simply patted her ass and told her what a good, sexy girl she was.
A fuck.
And a business partner.
That was all.
Unrequited love yet again.
So perhaps if she and Cain had a second chance, this was how it unfolded.
So why do you want to run into Blake’s arms and ask him if he could ever love you?
Pfft.
No way.
