“Do we have the approval that we need from the author?” I asked John, one of my writers on this project. “We can’t add this Samuel part, because if we do then we run the risk of angering the fans of the book. We have to keep it as close to the raw material as possible.”

Angela.

I hadn’t seen her since dinner at my house and she told us about her past. To be honest I could have gone a few years without seeing her and I would have been just fine.

She was stunning in a slim-fit power suit and mostly natural face. I hated that she was stunning, it only made me want to hate her more.

Don’t judge me, the woman was coming on to my husband and I knew it. At least Damon had agreed that he would not speak to her as much to help ease my ‘insecurities’ but in my defense, I had a right to feel this way. It wasn’t my husband. who I didn’t trust but her.
