Beckham sighed, choosing not to speak further.

Damien pursed his lips and nodded earnestly. “I want to.”

“That’s impossible.”

Beckham dismissed the notion with a wave of his hand. “When Ari passed away, she entrusted the Miles family’s businesses to Cherise. Whoever married Cherise would become the next head of the family,”

“And as it happens, Zachary is the lucky new head of the Miles family.”
