If anything free things usually come with a price far higher Stepping into Bluester Hotel , 1 nearly ran into Angels Dressed in a deck Mark suit , the locked every bit the part of a honed manager serious Expresion , prised stance , not sinde trace of a mile .

Ever since Angria moved back to the States , her mom had handed over all the Wurstar tonal properties for her to man I always thought truer find kide didnt have to work on hard .

They already had more money than they could ever spend in a lifetime .

Bu Ameria put even the most overworked office workers to shame .

She practically lived at the office , If I dont pull my weigu , everything my mom built will end up in someone elses hands , Angela once vald , Angela never liked her half brother , mostly because he was only three years younger than her .

That meant her dad had been messing around while her mom was enil recovering from giving birth to her .

Back when her dad had nothing , he had treated her mom like a queen .

Her grandparents had doned on her , too , since she was their first grandchild .

But the moment her dad became successful , that affection dried up overnight .

For a while , Angels thought it was just because she had grown up , it wasnt until later that she realized their love had been nothing but an act If even family bonds could be fake , it was no surprise that love was , 100 .

Laurel ! How could you show up here without calling me first ? Angela hooked her arm through mine as she spoke .

Thesitated for a second before pulling a key card from my jacket pocket , Can you check if this room was booked separately ? Angela paused , then took the card with a smirk .

She glanced at it before scoffing , This is a VIP suite , but its not Alexs room ? Hearing this 1 let out a quiet breath of relief , You two are legally married .

Why arent you staying together ? Angela asked , lowering her voice in confusion .

I sighed Like I told you before , its not what you think .

At best , were just using each other ? Angela gave me a pointed look and shot back , Hate to break it to you , but 1 dont see how you bring anything to the table ? 1 hummed in agreement Fair point .

Maybe he has some beef with Kayden ? Angela shot me a look of pure disdain .

What are you talking about Kayden is his third brother .

If they had a grudge , what would be the point of using your Just to mess with his kidr That only leaves one explanation I leaned in and whispered , Hes probably not into women and was forced to get married Instandy , Angelas face twisted she flicked my forehead .

Laurel , quit making things up Oh , crap .

I need to go home and grab some clothes , I said .

Then I glanced outside , only to realize the black Rolls Royce that had been parked Dure earlier was gone Having someone constantly following me around wasnt something I was used to , and since I was already on Angelas turf , I had nothing to worry Bluestar Hotel had security cameras everywhere except inside the rooms , so I told the driver to leave .

What clothest Lers grab lunch later , and Ill take you shopping Angela said , frowning slightly .

Alex hasnt announced your identity yet .

You shouldnt be running around on your own mirked What , afraid Austins going to come after mer ont forget one of them is a lunatic ; Angebe shot back .

I narrowed my eyes , teasing , And yet they were staying at Binestar That doesnt exactly make me feel safe ? 1/8 Chapter 34 Angela replied , They only stayed here for one night .

Alex kicked them out the next day .

I froze .

Kicked them out ? -58 Austin might have listened Alex still held authority over him as an older brother but Amanda wasnt someone who could be reasoned with .

He really kicked them out ? Angela let out a laugh .

Austin wasnt about to waste money on a presidential suite .

When he tried to switch to a smaller room the next day , there wasnt a single one available .

He had no choice but to find another hotel .

And the reason there werent any rooms left ? Alex booked every single VIP suite .

Talk about rich and reckless , I replied .

Angela arched a brow at me , her smile teasing .

I thought it was weird , too , but now that youre here , it all makes sense .

My face dropped .

What does that have to do with me ? I just got here today .

That just means he had plans for you long before this , Angela replied .

I shot her a dry look .

Youre reading too much into it .

Alex had never been short on women .

There was no way he would go through the trouble of kicking out Austin and Rosemary just because of me .

Alex probably just didnt like having familiar faces hanging around .

Besides , he had never been particularly fond of Austins family .

The first time I met Alex , I sensed it immediately .

At first , I thought I was imagining things , but now I was sure he really didnt like them .

Maybe there was something between them that I didnt know about .

Go rest for a bit .

Ill come get you for lunch later , Angela said before walking off .

As I reached the elevator , a familiar voice called out from behind me .

Laurel ? What are you doing here ? My brows knitted together as I turned to see two familiar faces .

The man sneered , tapping my shoulder .

What , are you deaf ? Didnt you hear Juliet talking to you ? Guess thats what happens when you grow up in the countryside no manners .

Juliet tugged at his sleeve quickly , her voice soft and sweet .

Come on , dont say that .

Shes still our cousins girlfriend , after all .
