Chapter 13

Jane

I drew Claudius into one of the rooms after Ferracco stormed out of the garden. That marked the end of the celebration and the guests were filing out gossiping among themselves. I couldn't believe they were the same people who came to share my joy.

I turned to face Claudius furious.

"I have been meaning to ask you. Why did you lie that Ferracco wanted to build casinos on that land!," l exploded.

A bitter look overtook his handsome face.

"You have always wanted to ruin him. And now that you are succeeding, you are complaining! ," his voice held an edge of mockery.

I ran a hand through my hair and heaved out a huge sigh.

"If you were honest with me from the start. I shouldn't have made this mistake and leaked his information. Ferracco wanted to build an orphanage! ," l cried at him.

Claudius stared at me stunned by my sudden outburst.
