Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 841

Nora couldn't help but laugh. "Of course not!"

Sienna let out a massive, dramatic exhale. "Thank God. You scared me to death. I thought you were calling me on his behalf..."

Nora paused.

"Well... Sienna, the truth is, I *am* calling because of him..."

Sienna's guard instantly shot back up. "What about him?"

Nora bit her lip, choosing her angle carefully. "Do you... still have feelings for him?"

The line went dead silent.

"No."

Sienna sounded perfectly detached. "I only got close to him because of his face. I wanted his DNA to have a baby that looked like Jared Quinn. Mission accomplished. Why would I still have feelings for him? I don't need a man to survive. I'm doing amazing out here by myself. I couldn't care less about him."

"Oh. Never mind then."

"..."

Now Sienna was panicking. "What do you mean 'never mind'? You said this was an absolute emergency! Why are you stopping halfway?"

Nora's tone became the picture of innocence. "Well, I was going to ask if you'd be willing to do him a massive favor. But since you don't care about him, forget it..."

Before she could even finish, Sienna snapped. "What happened to him? Is he in trouble?"

Nora smirked.

*So much for not caring.*

The second she heard he was in trouble, she completely lost her cool.

"He's currently in a brutal war against my father for the position of family head. In times like this, the board needs to see stability. He desperately needs a wife and an heir to secure his claim. I originally thought if you were open to it, you could come back and help him..."

She let the sentence trail off perfectly. "But since you have zero feelings for him, it's totally fine. I'll just find someone else to marry him."

"..."

Sienna didn't make a sound.

Suppressing her laughter, Nora waited patiently for the bait to set.

"Well..."

Sienna finally cleared her throat. "Isn't he the designated heir? Why does he have to fight for the position? What's going on with the Fairchilds?"

"It's a really long story..."

Sienna went quiet again. "If he loses... will he be okay?"

"Of course not. He'll lose everything..." Nora sighed dramatically, sounding utterly resigned. "But it is what it is. It's the path he chose."

Sienna sounded extremely stressed. "But couldn't he just... arrange a political marriage? I'm sure there are hundreds of heiresses lining up for the job."

After all, Finnian was incredibly wealthy, impossibly handsome, and frankly, phenomenal in bed...

Ahem.
