Logan’s blue eyes finally met mine, filled with an emotion that I couldn’t fully read. Remorse, maybe. And pain.

He reached out, his fingertips almost grazing my arm, the air around us pulsating with a mix of tension and unsaid truths. “Ella, it’s not like that. I never-”

I shoved him away, my voice steeped in a concoction of anger, disbelief, and a hint of hurt. “Lucky for you, I’m a woman of my word, otherwise I’d be tearing up our contract right here, right now. Not just because of what your brother just said, but because of your whole damn family.”

Logan’s features hardened, his piercing gaze locking onto mine. “Well, maybe you should. Leave, tear up the damn contract. I wouldn’t hold it against you.”

“No,” I said, turning to look away for a moment. “I won’t leave. Let’s finish this thing.”

His sigh of relief cut through the charged air, and a faint glimmer of amusement sparked within me. “You seem relieved. And to think, you were once so confident that I’d never want to leave, even when our contract ended.”

We had been working with each other long enough that I had gained some trust in him, but I still needed something, anything, to ease my worries. Biting my lip in indecision, my gaze landed on an old, worn-out children’s book on the floor beside me. Picking it up, I held it
