Fool By My Ruthless Billionaire

Certainly, Kendrick. We both know what is at stake, do we not? Struggling to comprehend all Mason had done, I felt my heart race and my hands at my sides clench. He was the snake in the grass, th

ertainty, I responded, "I'll help you." "We do this collectively, though. Kendrick, no more secrets. His eyes met mine then, a flash of something, perhaps sorrow, flashing through them. Sofia, "I won't let you down." Though the fight between Kendrick and Mason continued, the actual struggle was the one I waged within myself.
