James‘ voice was barely a whisper. He had thought that by cutting all ties But now, it seemed like whathad been done couldn’t be undone.
“Mr. Burke, perhaps we should leave…” Colt looked on with sympathy.
ith Nichole, he could forget about what happened that night.
James‘ expression was dark. “Why was Nichole at Palm’s Jewels? Find out for me.”
“Mr. Burke, maybe we should ask Ms. Nichole first?”

Sophie had just pushed the door to enter the CEO’s office when she was suddenly forcibly pulled intoan embrace.
Startled, Sophie looked up to see Colby. Her mind instantly flashed back to the moment she hadthrown herself into Colby’s arms after being drugged.
Sophie’s face flushed red, and she tried to struggle free, but Colby held her even tighter. “Was Jamesholding you like this downstairs just now?”
Sophie was taken aback. “You saw?”
She had looked all around but failed to notice Colby, who had been watching everything from the officewindow above.
Colby whispered with a low chuckle, “It’s a good thing you pushed him away. Otherwise, I would havehad to come down and teach him a lesson.”
“Colby, technically, he’s my husband. What right do you have to hit him?”
“Are you

ng him?”
Then you’re implying I should steal you away.”
“Colby!” Sophie, with a flushed face, pushed Colby away.
Colby’s eyes were tender and unabashedly doting. “Just kidding, don’t be mad.”
“You can’t joke like that anymore!”
“Stealing you away is no joke.” Colby paused, then added seriously, “I mean, that was sincere.”

“So, I am formally asking for your opinion now.” Colby leaned in, their breaths mingling, and thesurrounding silence so profound it seemed like they could hear each other’s heartbeat. “Miss Sophie,
would you be willing to accept me?”
Sophie’s heart raced. She had been married to James, and had never been seriously proposed to likethis.
Colby took off the family crest pinned on his chest and placed it in Sophie’s palm, saying with a smile,“This is the crest of the Costello family, and now I’m giving it to you, which means I’m entrusting my lifeto you.”
