Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 195

Photos? It must’ve been the photos that got out.

Brielle’s scalp tingled with irritation, desperate to know the extent of their circulation.

Max lingered at the door, pinching the hotel keycard between his fingers, uncertain of Brielle’s stance towards Spencer. They were childhood sweethearts, always together, and though the engagement was broken off decisively, such intimate photos wouldn’t have leaked unless she gave Spencer a chance to be caught in the act. A chill spread through his heart. “If you need anything, just call the front desk.”

Brielle was at a loss for words. After he left, she glanced at her phone. Someone had sent her those photos, captured perfectly by the camera. Had she not been one of the subjects, she might have believed they were in a passionate embrace. She trembled with anger, and just then, Miranda’s call came through.

“Brielle! Didn’t you break off your engagement with Spencer? And here you are, playing us all for fools, I must say you’re quite the actress.”

Brielle hung up almost instantly, regretting her mishap with the answer button.
