A Love that Endures

Page 42

by Forrest, Bella


  Let them all doubt you and cast you aside. You’re used to it. You’ve lived your whole life in the shadow of “better” people. But not for much longer.

  Cassie closed her laptop and reached for her smartphone. No texts from Katy. Perhaps the little princess didn’t need her best friend anymore, now that she finally had another boy toy.

  Which was just fine. Cassie knew that she’d soon be the “rock” for her cousin again, once she could put her plan into action. Katy would surely need moral support then. Cassie would make sure of that.

  Oh, David. You adorable fool. You have no idea who you’re messing with, do you?

  Cassie smiled to herself. She was only an amateur researcher, of course, but she’d quickly taken a liking to sleuthing. It had been as easy as intercepting David’s ancestry report, to start. Then, with some logic, tenacity, and—of course—bribery, Cassie had managed to find some interesting details about David’s past.

  Interesting enough to use to her advantage.

  All she had to do was wait for Mia Cantor to catch up—which she undoubtedly would.

  Of course the little bleeding heart had hired a world-class private investigator for David. Money isn’t an obstacle when you can afford anything in the world, right, Katy? Cassie hadn’t been surprised at all to find out about Mia. The tracer she’d put on Katy’s phone told her everything that she needed to know. She knew where she was and who she was talking to at all times. Including when the little traitor had run off to New York City. Though Cassie honestly hadn’t expected Katy to agree to that—not after the emotional performance she’d given Katy right before leaving for her Maine break, fibbing about texting David all week. She hadn’t thought Katy had it in her to go behind her best friend’s back like that. She was more devious than Cassie thought. And by the time Cassie had found out about the secret trip, it’d been too late to sabotage Katy’s plans.

  It didn’t matter now. If Mia had called today then she had probably gotten David’s mother’s information, meaning she’d find his family shortly. Sweet, unsuspecting David would soon learn all about his roots, although he’d probably end up wishing that he hadn’t.

  David didn’t know what was about to hit him.

  And when David was sufficiently distracted by the revelations, Cassie could start work on the next phase of her plan.

  She pulled open her desk drawer to look at a few spy cameras and an audio recorder that had just arrived in the mail. It’d be easy to slip those into David and Zeke’s room sometime when both of them were out.

  Cassie smiled. She was so close to finally getting her title. David was just a temporary road block in her grand plan. She would be able to work on Katy again—isolating her and guilting her about her responsibilities—once she could show Katy just how unsuitable David was. And she already had so many ideas for how to do that.

  Cassie was about to have a lot of fun.

  Ready for the next part of David and Katy’s story?
