No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 118

I knew he had the power to override my decision, and even if he didn't, he could get Herschel to step in and nullify Conrad's approval. But I didn't want that.

He cared enough to remember even my unlisted number, so it wasn't a stretch to think he could guess where I was.

Still, I wasn't about to give up my location. "Dustin, I've poured my heart into this amusement park for the last two years. I'll leave the loose ends for you to tie up."

"Felicia..."

"Dustin, let's leave it at that."
