The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 507

Steven didn't have an answer to his own question, but he had a feeling he might be more willing to spend money on Annalise if he were given the chance.

He was about to hang up when Casper said, "Jessica wanted me to kidnap Willow today." He continued slowly, "She wanted me to use Willow to lure Annalise out and force her to sleep with me."
