Chapter 10
POV: Damon
I smirked, enjoying the sight of Adelaide turning bright red-just like an apple. Turns out that nickname wasn’t so wrong after all.
“I–uh–It’s nice to meet you,” she stuttered out, awkwardly, attempting to compose herself and smiling,
“You’re Adelaide Hildebrand, right?” Kathy asked as she approached. She wrapped her arm around her wife, reaching her other hand out for Addie to shake.
Addie took it eagerly. “Yeah, I am. You’re Kathy Bishop, right? The talent manager?”
“That’s right,” Kathy nodded. “You’re the director for Noonrise right?”
Addie grinned. “That’s right. You’re the one who suggested Gabriel-”
I tuned out of the conversation, letting Kathy and Addie talk about their work. I glanced at Lacey, meaningfully, and she took the hint.
“I’ll be right back, babe.” She kissed her wife on the cheek and followed me a bit of distance away. I kept one eye on Addie, who was excitedly waving her hands about the project. It made me happy to see her so happy about something, I didn’t even care what it was.
“How did you hear about us?” I said, bluntly to Lacey making sure to keep my voice low.
She didn’t even blink, too used to my personality by now.

“We were,” I said curtly, making sure to keep my face neutral.
“Then why is she marrying your brother?” she asked, incredulously. “Did something happen?”
“They decided it on their own,” I shrugged, not caring why they decided to do it. It fit into my plans, and that’s all that mattered. I wasn’t exactly upset over losing her.
Let them dig their own graves faster.
“I know you didn’t love her, but I thought you would care at least a little bit,” Lacey sighed. “Looks like I was wrong.”

“Don’t say anything to Adelaide about the business,” I changed the topic hurriedly. I needed to keep that a secret for as long as possible.
She looked taken aback for a moment, but then her eyes narrowed on me. “Why?” she asked suspiciously, “I understand your father but-”
“Ashton is up to something.” I glanced at Addie, the joy in her eyes having a way of making even the parking lot of a Mexican restaurant seem comfortable. I couldn’t help but smile to myself.
