Chapter 440

"Ready to go?" He asked me, his tone a low whisper, his breath warming the side of my face as he whispered into my ear.

I nodded.

"More than ready," I told him.

"We have to return to that game from earlier and get your prize," he reminded me.

I laughed at the memory, but the laugh was cut short when Donna, his mother, approached us, her arms folded across her chest.

"Gavin, can we have a word please... in private," she said, her eyes narrowed as she stared at her son.

Gavin sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, clearly fed up with his mother.

"Fine but we will be talking about this tomorrow. Expect a visit at your office bright and early," she shouted after him. His fists tightened in a ball, and I could tell he was holding himself back from saying and doing something he would regret.

"He'll be back," I heard Daisy saying to Donna. "There's nothing for you to worry about, Mom."

I hated that I was jealous, I hated that I was acting insecure, but the fact that his mom doesn't like me... hurt.

"Don't let them get to you," he said softly. "They don't know what they are talking about. My mother thinks she knows best... but she doesn't. She's being naive and soon her eyes will open, and she'll realize her mistake."

"What mistake?" I asked.

"That she can't control me or who I bring into my life. All she cares about is her family fortune... she worries that if it's put in the wrong hands, it could ruin everything."
