Chapter 41
After being thrown out, Drake stood with his mother and Sienna outside the Sterling estate.
“Son, what do we do now?” Margaret was nearly in tears. “Have we ruined everything with the Sterlings? What about the investment?”
“Will they retaliate?” Sienna trembled. “The Sterlings are so powerful.”
Drake remained silent, moving like a puppet with cut strings, his expression vacant and lifeless.
Later that evening, as Asher drove Thalia home, she hesitated outside her building. “About today…”
He brushed a strand of hair from her face, his voice low and vulnerable. “When he said you could have been married and happy if he’d known your identity… I was afraid. If you-”

“Let’s have some fun,” he smiled menacingly. “Share a drink with me?”
Margaret, still playing the wealthy matriarch, began hurling abuse at him. “How dare you! Do you know who I am? When my husband-”
