"Colby, Odie's right, sometimes you really do ask for it."
"Honey, with you, I'm all heart and no malice."
"Really?"
"Absolutely!"
"The first time we met, you made me lose 8 billion dollars. How do we settle that?"
Colby nervously sipped his now-cold coffee, furrowing his brows. "This coffee's gone cold. Let me get you a fresh cup."
"Get back here!" Sophie grabbed Colby and pulled him back.
Colby had no choice but to sit down in front of Sophie. "Whatever my wife says, goes."
"I'll let the 8 billion slide for now, but what about the dinner party in two days?"
"Let's go. Consider it a show."
Sophie raised an eyebrow. "Everyone knows Vanessa has a crush on you. Are you going there to give them something to talk about?"
"I won't go, but you will." Desperate to stay in her good graces, Colby added, "I'll just escort you from outside the hotel and won't look at another woman."
Sophie nodded, satisfied. "Good, I'm pleased."
Meanwhile, in the Pollard family's study...
Angelo was frantically searching through computer entries, finding nothing. A sense of defeat began to rise.
"Where's my trending topic? Gone? All gone?"
Angelo couldn't believe it. Who could be so quick to block it on all channels?
James took a sip of his tea. "Stop wasting your energy. You won't find it."

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
Excellent novel!...
When will you upload the next chapter...
