The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

The prison guard took in Yael’s nervous look and snorted, guessing that the latter had to have made the wrong assumption.

“Don’t worry. You’re not dying any time soon. Some important man wants to meet you.”

Yael was tense. Who visits a prisoner in the middle of the night? Who could it be?

The steel door creaked open, and Yael entered, his wrists and ankles still cuffed.

There was a large square table in the visiting room with two men sitting across from it.

Yael fixed his eyes on one of the men. The latter had dark eyes and was looking at him expressionlessly, exuding a domineering aura.

His face was one that Yael was extremely familiar with. He was the man he desperately wished to kill—Cedrick Jenson.

Alas, he had lost. He would not have the chance to fulfill his wish.
