With a chilling grin, Mitchel retorted, âHenley, are you asking for trouble by provoking me repeatedly?â
âJoking, Mr.
Dixon? With the might of the Dixon family, would I dare?â
Henley replied, his tone mocking as he removed his glasses, revealing his true, icy demeanor beneath the facade.
Mitchelâs smile remained frosty as he warned, Keep your distance from Raegan if youâre not looking for trouble.
â
Unfazed, Henley retorted, âBossy, arenât you, Mr.
Dixon? If Raegan chooses my company, why should I reject her? Besidesâ¦â
He paused, a sly glint in his eye.
âI understand why you canât let her go.
I empathize with that sentiment.
â
With that, he drove off, leaving Mitchel with a thunderous scowl.
The night air was cool, yet Henleyâs spirits were high.
Originally, his aim was to usurp everything from Mitchel, and with Raeganâs divorce, he had seemingly succeeded.
Yet, it became clear Mitchel hadnât relinquished his hold on Raegan, which piqued Henleyâs interest anew.
His mind turned to darker thoughts of conquest.
Raegan, for her part, remained cautious, her guard steadfast unless something significant demanded her attention.

Henley realized he needed a well-crafted plan.
His handsome features were shrouded in darkness.
After a moment, he dialed a number.
âIs there any news of the person whose surname is Lloyd?â
A voice on the other end responded, âWords has it that she was seen in the Sandy recently.
â
Henleyâs tone turned icy.
âLocate her quickly.
Donât let anyone beat you to it.
â
Tessa, like a stray dog, could serve his purposes well.
With one hand on the steering wheel, he idly loosened his tie, his thoughts drifting with desire.
He recalled Raeganâs pale hand and swore silently to himself.
Back in college, he didnât have much contact with Raegan.
At that time, his heart was filled with hatred, and he didnât notice her at all.
