Zane couldn’t stop himself from looking at Finn. Just as he thought, Finn’s face turned dark and angry.
“Zane, have you been here too long? Toofortable?”
The words barely left Finn’s mouth before Zane shivered.
“Sorry, Mr. Lock.”
Finn mmed the pen into the trash can.
<i>Don’t </i><i>need </i><i>to </i><i>push </i><i>him</i>? <i>What </i><i>nonsense</i><i>! </i>
<i>Abel’s </i><i>going </i><i>back </i><i>with </i><i>Tess</i>. <i>Does </i><i>he </i><i>want </i><i>to </i><i>piss </i><i>me </i><i>off</i>?
“Any news from Grandma?”

“Mrs. Shaw said she did all she could. The rest is up to you,” Zane said respectfully, lowering his head.
Hearing that, Finn’s anger suddenly stopped.
He lifted his eyes, and a mix of dark feelings showed.
<i>Does </i>it <i>mean </i><i>Grandma </i><i>has </i><i>actually done </i><i>something</i><i>? </i>
He pressed his lips together, fingers curling into a tight fist.
The conflicted feelings passed, crushed under his stubborn obsession with that one person.
No matter what it took, he wanted her.

“Zane, book me a flight to Kingnd,” he said, his voice hoarse, gritty with determination.
Zane blinked.
“Tonight?”

He looked at Finn and saw his face–hard, cold, and determined.
A rush of excitement went through Zane.
<i>Is </i><i>Mr. </i><i>Lock </i>really going all <i>out </i><i>to </i>win Mrs. <i>Lock </i><i>back</i><i>? </i>
His eyes sparkled.
After all the boring office work, W

But their boss wasn’t like the ones in those stories.
He didn’t have that shy, bossy attitude–more like a quiet struggle and a cold heaviness.
Zane stole a quick nce at Finn and got frozen by a sharp re. He ducked his head and hurried out of the CEO’s office.
Ring, ring!
Zane had just left when the phone on the desk started ringing.
Finn frowned.
<i>Who </i><i>could </i><i>be </i><i>calling </i><i>at </i><i>this </i><i>hour</i>?
He picked up, and the first thing he heard was a calm voice, “Finn.”
It was someone from the Shaws–more precisely, Abel’s mother.
“Yes.”
“Julia told me that Tess is your ex–wife. Then Abel’s in the wrong. I’ll make sure to talk him out of it.”
Miranda sounded firm, like she really meant what she said.
Finn couldn’t help thinking about the way Abel looked at Tess.
Every bit of light in his eyes seemed to shine only on her, and the rest of the world disappeared.
A man like that–how could anyone make him let her go?
A faint, ironic smile appeared on Finn’s lips.
He didn’t know if he wasughing at how easy Miranda made it sound or at himself.
“Thanks,” he said.
His voice was low and rough.

Miranda heard the click as the call ended. She set the phone down slowly, but the <b>calm </b><b>on </b><b>her </b><b>face </b>disappeared. Anger shed in her eyes.
“Has Abel lost his mind? Falling for Fin’s ex–wife? And she’s from some countryside!”
She mmed her hand on the table so hard it shook, and a bright red mark appeared on her <b>palm </b>
Demi jumped.
It was unusual to see her mother this angry.
“Mom, we already heard, right? Abel’sing back. And he’s bringing Finn’s ex–wife, Tess.”
Demi stepped a little closer, speaking softly, trying

to her down.
Miranda’s lips moved, saying the name slowly. Her fingers clenched little by little.
“A woman Finn threw away–how did she manage to control Abel like that? What does she have?”
She snorted coldly, her eyes full of anger and disgust.
Demi frowned, thinking hard. “Maybe… from what I know, Abel has been looking for someone for a long time. Could Tess be the one he’s been looking for?”
“What?”
Miranda’s voice went higher, full of shock and disbelief.
She always knew Abel kept someone in his heart, but from her understanding, it had always seemed like a pointless obsession.
They’d been apart so long. Who knew if that person even

him?
But now, Demi was saying Abel had actually found her? And of all people, his uncle’s ex–wife?
Miranda clutched her chest, feeling furious and faint at the same time.
“If I’d known from the start, I would never have let Abel leave Kingnd and mess around!”
