“A job? What are you ripping off from him? Oh, wait. That would be my ideas and plans for the hotel.”

Tears started to form in her eyes.

“You’re wrong.”

“Am I, Kate? Because I don’t think I am.” The song ended and I let go of her. “I wish I’d never met you. You are nothing but a vile human being.” I shook my head as I walked away.

Chapter 36

Kate

Igulped as I stood there, trying to hold back the tears that formed in my eyes.

“Are you okay, darling?” Marcel asked as he walked over to me.

“Of course.” I smiled. “I’m fine. Just a little lightheaded from the champagne and cosmos.”

“Would you like to go home?”

“I think that’s a good idea. I just really need to lie down.”

He walked me up to my apartment, and before I opened the door, I told him good night.

“Thank you for a beautiful evening, Marcel. I had a lot of fun.”

“You’re welcome, my dear.” He stroked my chin with his thumb. “I wish that period of yours would end.”

“Me too. It should only be a couple of more days.” I brushed my lips against his.

“What are your plans for tomorrow?” he asked.

“I was hoping to get to spend the day with you since it’s Saturday.”

“Then your wish is my command. What shall we do?”

“It’s supposed to rain all day, so I was thinking we could just spend the day at your place. I could cook for you and we could just relax and watch movies.” I smiled.

“I would love that. I haven’t had a relaxing day in months.”

“Great. I’ll stop at the store and pick up everything I need and head over around noon.”

“Maybe you could spend the night with me.” His lips touched mine.

“We’ll see. Good night, Marcel. I really do need to lie down.”

“Good night, Camille.” He kissed me one last time.

I stepped inside my apartment and shut the door. I took in a deep breath as I placed my hands on the island. Tomorrow had to be the day that would end all of this. I wanted to tell Gabriel what I was doing, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t risk him going after Marcel and Thaddeus without the physical proof I needed.

The next morning, as I was getting ready to leave, the buzzer to my apartment rang.Shit.

“Yes?” I spoke over the intercom.

“Let me in, Kate!” Caleb sternly spoke.

Rolling my eyes, I buzzed him and opened the door.

“What the hell are you doing?” he spoke as he entered my apartment. “Oh my god. Look at you. What the fuck, Kate?”
