Beneath Her Bastard Boss

Chapter 103

Chapter 103

Sutton looked up when Nicole said his name. Praying that God wouldn’t do this to him. The universe really couldn’t be that heartless. Her Luca wasn’t the only Luca in the world, surely. But she soon found out someone had it in for her out there.

Tall. Dark. There he stood, towering over Nicole. Oh, shit… Last night was Blair and Roman’s engagement party… And he–Luca had been there.

Sutton closed her eyes as she remembered seeing him again after months…

Flashback to last night:

She was really happy for her sister and Roman–to find happiness after everything. Blair had only days ago faked her death to catch their uncle out for murdering their parents for greed. But at least now Blair was safe and no more hit–men would be sent after her.

Sutton looked around the room at Roman’s family and friends. Blair would be happy with his family, and Sutton could see they loved her. Her eyes landed on a man by the bar as a strange pressure settled in her chest. He was in profile, but there was no mistaking who he was… Luca.

It was.

Luca.

Oh, my God. He must know Roman in some way. How many times was it said the world was a small place?

Here stood the proof of the statement.

Sutton felt her throat tighten as she tried… to what? Scream?

No, that wasn’t good. It would bring his attention, and it was the last thing she needed.

She just needed to get out of here before he saw her.

The last thing she wanted was to wreck this party for Blair.

She tried to move away, get some distance, but found her legs had turned to lead.

The world muted.

No. No. Not here. Not now.

She could be seen.

Then Blair was at her side.

Blair’s voice barely reached her. Sutton didn’t even hear what she was saying.

Everything inside her turned to static.

She grabbed Blair’s arm. “I need to leave. Now.”

“What? Why? Is something wrong with the baby?“,

But even as Blair asked, her sister was looking between her and the person she was staring at… the pieces clicking into place.

Sutton didn’t answer. She couldn’t.

Her mouth was dry. Her hands were trembling.

Her legs moved anyway, dragging Blair with her across the room toward Keira and Rose.

“No, nothing is wrong with the baby, but I need to get out of here,” Sutton said through gritted teeth.
