Then, all her lies and pretenses would be useless! "Orl, you heard that, right?" When the recording ended, Queenie exaggerated, "Xanthea said it was you who fell head over heels for her, pestering her relentlessly, using every dirty trick in the book to keep her by your side!"

Queenie was stunned, hardly believing her ears.
Orion continued, "Everything she said is true." No, no, that couldn't be! How could that be possible?

Queenie watched his back, tears streaming down her face, feeling utterly defeated.
Why? Why did he love her so much, willing to forsake his dignity, om everything just to be at her mercy? With all the wonderful women in the world, why her? "Boss, you're back."
Cedric had been waiting in the lobby and was startled to see Orion carry Xanthea while he entered, especially hoticing her disheveled long hair, slightly swollen red lips, the faint marks on her fair neck, and her disheveled red dresa beneath the suit jacket. What on earth had the boss done to Ms. Nightshade?
