“For now, just be happy with Rialta and stay on Vincent’s good side. We’ll let you know when the next step is completed. Can you do that?” Hayes asks.
I grin. “Take as long as you need for phase two. I have no problem being very, very happy with Rialta. I’m thankful this plan led me to her. It was like we were meant for each other. Even if everything else fails, I’m happy for it bringing me her.”
“I’m glad your feelings for each other are real, and I hope this plan doesn’t ruin your relationship,” Hayes says.
“It won’t. Nothing will ever tear us apart.” This plan used to be the most important thing to me. It was the only thing keeping me going. But now, all I care about is loving Rialta and keeping her safe. So if it comes down to choosing between the plan and Rialta—I know who I’m picking, no matter the cost.
