Amber could not help but let out a scream of joy, turning heads for a moment. “Ah, that’s amazing! The universe definitely works in mysterious ways, doesn’t it?””
Amber wrapped her arms around Jules and hugged him with all her strength. They embraced and to their surprise a cheer and round of applause erupted from some of the guests who could not even begin to imagine what they were celebrating. Not just yet. Right now, Jules and Amber were going to enjoy a private victory and memorable celebration of their love.
EPILOGUE
One month later…
Dion Romero couldn’t believe his ears. He hated to be deceived, especially by a beautiful woman he trusted. A woman who was close enough to him to hurt him. “Jenna-Lynn?” Dion asked incredulously. Dion looked at his private detective, JoJo, a man who once worked as a bodyguard. “My executive assistant? Are you sure?” he finished his sentence.
“Yes, boss.”
“There’s gotta be a mistake. I checked her background before I hired her,” Dion continued. He should be angry as hell right now because it wouldn’t be the first time he’d been stabbed in the heart by a pretty face. But it would be the last time. His mind kept trailing on pretty-faced Jenna-Lynn. She was so cute and innocent in all outward appearances. Yeah, they were the worst kind. When would Dion ever learn?
“I know, boss, but there’s something about her that just doesn’t check out,” JoJo said in a rough voice. The man was a leviathan and looked like a giant at six foot-seven. Considering that Dion was six foot four and well-built, JoJo was still the equivalent of Goliath. Not exactly inconspicuous. But he’d worked for the Romero family for years and always got the job done.
“Like what?” Dion said, pacing in his office, unbuttoning his business suit jacket. “What doesn’t check out?”
“Her background doesn’t fly. It seems a bit too…perfect.”
“That’s it?”
“It’s too perfect, boss,” the man said without smiling. JoJo never smiled. Dion couldn’t remember the last time he even smirked. Was he even capable of mirth?
“You mean like fabricated?”
JoJo nodded slowly, his eyes narrowed. “Yes, boss.”
Dion remembered all too well, the trouble his brother Carl went through when they found out about the past Venus, Carl’s former assistant and now wife, had been hiding.
“And that’s not the only thing, boss.” “What else is there?” Like Dion really wanted to hear more.
“She’s been watching you.”
Dion got all soft inside for a moment until he read JoJo’s expression.
“You mean…?”
“Bingo! We found out she’s had you under surveillance this whole time. You and your family.”
Dion felt his core body temperature scorch his body inside. What was she? Some sort of spy? Or cop? Boy, did he know how to pick ‘em. Hot babe or not, she was out on her butt. “That’s it. She’s fired!”
