When Love Comes Late
An involuntary shudder passed through everyone in the room.
Recognizing Matthew, Jaden hastily set his glass down, stood up, and approached him.
âMr.
Clark, to what do we owe this honor?â
His demeanor was submissive, a marked departure from his earlier arrogance.
No sooner had he spoken than a figure brushed past him.
Spotting Miley on the sofa, Stella hurried over to her.
Clasping the inebriated Miley, Stella spoke in a tone tinged with urgency.
âMiley, itâs me, Stella.
Youâre safe now.

Wasnât Matthew married? Why was he looking out for Miley?
What exactly was the nature of their relationship?
Jadenâs mind raced, but he couldnât decipher Matthewâs thoughts.
Summoning courage, Jaden began to defend himself.
âYouâve misunderstood the situation.
Weâre all in business here; itâs merely socializing, all in good fun.

âIn good fun?â Matthewâs eyebrows lifted as he flashed an unsettling smile.
Jadenâs forehead broke out in a Light sweat.
Wiping it away, he managed an awkward grin.
âYes, all in good fun.
â
âAnd what fun would that be?â Matthew probed.
Caught off guard, Jaden stammered, unable to form a coherent reply.
âExplain yourself!â Matthew insisted.
