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.

As Jessica's ex-husband, Casper thought it was not his place to reveal her plans to Zane. However, the more he considered the wickedness of her schemes, the more convinced he was of her boundless cruelty.

...

After some thought, he decided to give Zane a heads-up. He didn't want to regret not speaking up if anything bad happened to Annalise, so he dialed Zane's number.

Zane had just finished discussing work with Suzy and was on his way upstairs to see Annalise. He was stunned when he got a call from Casper, but he put it through and asked, "What's up?" There was only silence on the other end.

Zane thought Casper might have called him by mistake.

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."

Zane stopped in his tracks when he heard this. He glanced at Annalise's room, then at Suzy downstairs. He headed toward the end of the corridor before he mused, "Is that so?"

Casper quickly explained, "But I
