Teresa informed Denny that she had missed Jonathan’s call because her phone had been off and charging . He suggested she keep it on at all times , otherwise , with Jonathan acting like that , people might think she was marrying someone else
“ I could hear it in his voice the man sounded like he was on the edger Benny added , “ I texted him to let him know you’re a Luviston Estates . You should probably head there first . Miriam and I will meet you shortly
Taking his suggestion , Teresa decided to go ahead on her own
As she stepped outside , rain began to fall softly . Teresa stood beneath the eaves of a nearby building , watching the rain . with quiet contemplation . She tried calling Jonathan , but the call didn’t connect – he was likely still on his flight
As the drizzle weaved a delicate rhythm against the world , Teresa’s phone buzzed . It was Benny again , informing her that Jonathan’s IP address had switched to Nareigh . He had responded with just a period , probably too busy to talk
“ I’m already in Luviston Estates Teresa replied .
“ Okay ” Benny said . “ Til track down Miriam , and we’ll see you soon
Shortly after the call ended , a sudden squeal of brakes echoed behind Teresa . She turned to see a sleek Rolls – Royce pulling to a sharp stop . From the car emerged a man dressed in a tailored suit , looking a bit travel worn
His shoulders were damp from the rain . Droplets clung to his hair and slid down the sharp lines of his face , tracing the
curve of his nose .
It was Jonathan . His eyes burned with a mixture of fury and hurt as he strode toward her . He grabbed her wrist , his grip firm and demanding . “ What’s with the message ? Who were you showering with ? Who were you with ?”
“ Ouch ! ” Teresa exclaimed , frowning . “ Let go ! It was my sister who sent that message – my real sister
Jonathan released her wrist but immediately placed his hands on her shoulders , his gaze drilling into hers . “ I got on the first flight out of Saintnam because of that message ! ”
“ I took over from the driver , sped over 75 miles per hour , ran three red lights , and racked up enough fines to lose my licens -all because of that message ! And now you’re telling me it was your sister ? ” Jonathan pressed .
He continued , his anger unabated , “ Teresa , do you think I’m stupid ? You’re an only child ! Your mom just had your baby sister , but she’s barely a year old , is she not ? ”
“ I really do have an older sister ,” Teresa protested . “ – ”
Before Teresa could finish speaking , Jonathan interrupted , his tone sharp with disbelief , “ You might as well tell me Mike sent it ; I’d buy that more easily .
He continued , “ I can stomach the idea of you moving on after our divorce , but sleeping with me on January 4th and someone else before the month’s even up ? Do you think I’m a fool ? If you don’t explain yourself clearly today , I swear , I’m not letting this go . ”
Jonathan , are you done ? ” Teresa asked, her voice strained with exasperation . “ You’re not letting me explain ! Just stop for a moment and let me talk ! ”
Jonathan hesitated , his jaw tightening as he tried to rein in his temper . He stood there , lips pressed into a thin line , but said nothing .
Teresa drew a steadying breath . “ My sister’s name is Hannah . She’s my biological sister . She went missing when I was three , and for years , we all thought she was dead . ”
“ After three years of grieving , we had no choice but to move on , ” she explained , “ Then , on January 9th , she had a car accident , and that’s how we found each other again . ”
“ I was in the shower when you texted me . I asked her to collect a parcel for me , and she saw your message . She replied to you without telling me . That’s the truth , whether you choose to believe it or not , Teresa concluded
With that , she yanked her hand from Jonathan’s grasp . Jonathan stared at her , a storm of emotions playing across his face Then , suddenly overcome , he leaned in and kissed her , his lips fierce and demanding
His breath mingled with hers , as though he were searching for the possibility of another man’s presence .
Teresa struggled in his arms , but he only held her tighter . It wasn’t until she was nearly breathless that he finally pulled away . “ You’ve got me completely wrapped aro Successfully unlocked !
