Chapter 174 : New Hope?

James.

I woke to my phone ringing urgently. Only Tony and the PI could break through the silent mode on my phone, so I knew, either way, it was urgent.

It turned out, I’d fallen asleep INSIDE Becca, so I had to delicately extricate myself from her. I tried not to wake her as I pulled out and rolled to get my phone. It was the PI.

“Just a second,” I whispered into the phone as I stood and grabbed a robe.

My attempts to let Becca sleep were in vain, however, because she rolled on her back and looked up at me. “James?”

“I’ll be back, luscious,” I assured her. “I just have to take this call.”

Becca frowned a little, but nodded. “Okay.”

I smiled at the love of my life, then stepped out onto the balcony and closed the door behind me. “Yes?” I said.

“Sir, I think I may have a witness,” the PI replied quickly in a no-nonsense tone on the other end. “It’s touch and go—I don’t know if I can get her to testify—but I’m working on her.”

“Witness? Witness to what?” I asked eagerly.
