He heard her message loud and clear.
She was asking him to terminate the contract with Eleanor.
Brian looked at Rosalynn and answered with no trace of opposition, âYouâre my wife.
Itâs your call.

âYouâ¦â Selina faltered, an indignant glint in her eye.
âIsnât it common for a man like Brian to have multiple women? Whatâs wrong with that?â
Rosalynnâs eyebrows arched as she wound her arm around Brianâs.
âHoney, do you require additional companionship?â she asked him pointedly.
