Caden smirked. His eyes glittered with mockery, causing her pain. With all the cards on the table and their argument reaching its climax, Alicia declared with determination, “There is no need to discuss this any further. “This ends today.”

Alice remained equally resolute. “I didn't ask you to enjoy my drama. “You can proceed as you wish with our agreement.”
