Apparently, money is what talks with Madison as she starts to backpedal “Declan… I did not mean any offense—”

Declan holds his hand up, cutting her off “I’, Madison And the reason I’ here, and I si documents, or I’ll see you in court”

There goes that buzzing sound again The sa happened earlier today when Madison told me that she was Declan’s wife I suspect it’s aa shock It’s an even greater andto try to process the fact Declan just said he loves me

And he didn’t even say it to me He said it to Madison

Admittedly, it’s kind of sexy he did it that way Declan looks over to his father “I’m sorry you came all this way, Father But you have no control over what I do I love Bailey, and I intend to be with her if she’ll have et on board with it or cut ive a fuck which you choose”

I want to see how the great Alexander Blackwood is taking being put in his place

But Declan’s hands on my face force me to meet his eyes “You know the truth of it now, Bailey I’e, and I hope you can forgive me”

And then, to my shock, Declan turns for the door He strides across the suite, leaving me behind with tful and horrid people

The e is clear… the ball is in my court

I bolt after Declan, not saying anything to Alexander or Madison Blackwood At this point, I hope I never see theain

I have to break into a run to catch up to Declan, and I co halt that requires him to reach out and steady me

Tipping my head back, I look up “You love me?”

“More than I’ve ever loved anything in my entire life,” he says solemnly

And I believe him

“I’ine a thousand different scenarios on how it le one had to have been crushing to you I have half a le her just for that because I kno vindictive she can be But please believe , and I need you in ive me?” he asks, and it breaks my heart to see how scared he is as he waits for my answer

“In a ht I would find out soive them so easily,” I muse with a set why you didn’t tell ive you”
