Chapter 43 An opportunity

*RENEE*

“I wasn’t on a date with him! Hold on, have you been having me followed?“My eyes widened in disbelief.

How else could Marcelo have known about my encounter with Andrew?

“Marcelo, I married you due to the Hudson family’s obligations, and you married me to appease your mother. Our marriage is in name only. You

But the gentle touch quickly turned intense.
