Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 54

Trevon Wilson and Hackett Blackwell parked at the private parking lots in the basement.

Trevon moved away from Mia Blackwell the second before they entered the elevator, avoiding her like the plague

Trevon’s hands remamed in his pockets. He looked distant, his gaze filled with hostility and coldness.

Mia was half-sober, and her mood plummeted instantly, a far cry from the exhilaration she felt next to Trevon a moment

ago.

Did he do that just to spike that woman? Mia wondered.

No, that was impossible. They just registered their marriage not so long ago.

Trevon must have done it for his ego so that woman knew who he really was. Yes, that must be it! Mia thought.

When she speculated, another surprise came along

Trevon said in a deep and cold voice. “Send her back, Hackett.”

Trevon rarely called out his name, only when he was in a severe mood or very angry.

“Okay,” said Hackett. Today was a little awkward for him. He had been around women all his adult life but had never encountered a situation where the secret wife vs. the ex-girlfriend. It was an eye-opener.

However, Mia did not want her brother to send her home. “Trevon, do you not bear to see me? Do you still want that piece of land?”

Trevon’s face turned malicious, and his eyes filled with disdain. ‘Are you threatening me. Mia? Do you think I can’t get this project without your father’s land?”

Mia was so shocked that she shivered, she had been with Trevon for more than a year and knew him too well. He was outraged now.

She initially wanted to get back with him and took advantage of the opportunity to be close to him. Therefore, she was a little anxious.

Realizing her mistake, Mia quickly apologized. She held Trevon’s arm and said in a soft and demure voice, “I’m sorry. Trevon. That’s not what I meant. I just wanted to take your car. We haven’t seen each other for so long. Can’t we sit down and talk? I know I was in the wrong back then, but-”

The elevator opened before she could finish her sentence. Trevon walked out of the elevator and headed to his car

He did not want to listen to Mia’s explanation whatsoever.

Trevon had driven himself today and did not bring his assistant, Jim Hawk.

He left in a blink of an eye, leaving behind a gust of exhaust fumes.

Hackett leaned against his car door with his legs crossed. He touched his lips and glanced at Mia, who was angrily stomping. “Are you getting in or not? If not, take a cab back,” he said, tongue in cheek.
