The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 886

Hanging up the phone, Zoey takes a deep breath. She knows that from this moment on, everything has changed.

Outside the Sinclair estate, Danny waits in his car. Tara gets in, looking exhausted, and leans back against the seat.

Danny starts the engine, his gaze softening as he brushes a stray lock of hair from her forehead. "Tired?"

Tara smiles slyly and leans close, her warm breath brushing his ear. "Not at all. I was just thinking... we haven't had a good 'workout' in a while."

Danny's grip on the steering wheel tightens. His gaze turns predatory, burning with a heavy, musky tension. "Is my gorgeous fiancée suggesting something?"

"I'm just saying, a work-life balance is important," she purrs. "You've been working so hard investigating the Sector 01 Research Institute. Why don't we head home and find a way to decompress?"

Danny lets out a low, magnetic chuckle that fills the intimate space of the car. "I like the sound of that," he murmurs, stepping on the gas. "If you're in the mood, I am more than happy to oblige."

Meanwhile, Katie, Danny's workaholic mother, is on a mission. She successfully played matchmaker for her son and Tara, and now she wants to make their relationship officially binding. She takes time off work to secure her future daughter-in-law's status once and for all.
