Despite a brief twinge of regret for selling the firm, he felt it was worth the price and was committed to a smooth handover

Hunter raised an eyebrow and paused. Jenna instinctively tucked herself just behind him. To everyone else, that action looked intimate, as if she were a cherished woman protected by her man

At the back of the room, Mia clenched her fists, watching them from a distance Jenna was clearly the other woman, but there she stood beside Hunter, soaking in everyone's admiration. Meanwhile, Mia, the real Mrs. Jasper, felt like an outsider. She could never openly stand by his side
