Collin paused, his glass hovering. I haven t decided. I m waiting to see how things stand with her and her boyfriend first.

What? Dustin nearly choked on his wine, his expression one of pure disbelief. She s got a boyfriend?

Before he could recover, an even bigger bombshell landed.

Linsey s boyfriend is Gorman Green, your sworn enemy? Dustin s voice shot up, his eyes wide with shock.

Collin rubbed his ear, wincing. Keep it down. You re going to deafen me. Latest content published on ?ovelFind.net

Just too stunned, Dustin mumbled, offering a sheepish grin as he straightened in his seat. I never imagined you and Gorman would be this entangled. Business rivals turned romantic rivals? That s wild.

He continued, If you ask me, with your charm and status, you ve got Gorman beat by miles. Winning Linsey over should be easy. But

He trailed off, letting the word hang.

Collin arched a brow. But what?

Dustin s gaze dipped to Collin s leg. She doesn t know you ve been faking that disability since the car accident to throw off your stepmother s schemes. I m worried that might make her hesitate.

Their conversation was cut short by a sudden, desperate cry from beyond the door. Help!

Collin s cool demeanor cracked, his head snapping toward the sound. That voice he knew it. Linsey?

What was she doing here?

The cry for help from outside stopped Dustin s hand in midair, the wine glass hovering above the table.

Did someone just call out for help?

The words had barely left his mouth when he noticed Collin rising abruptly. That caught Dustin off guard, his focus zeroing in on the sudden movement. Where do you think you re going, Collin?

Collin kept his eyes forward, ignoring the question and heading straight for the exit.

Help me!

Another desperate plea echoed from beyond the door.

Collin froze, his forehead creasing as recognition dawned.

At first, the cry had only stirred a vague familiarity, but now he knew without doubt it was Linsey s voice.

A knot of dread twisted through his chest.

Was she in danger again, cornered by those men who had troubled her before? The possibility made his expression harden, and he broke into a determined stride toward the exit.

Collin! Panic shot through Dustin as he saw Collin moving without the wheelchair. Dustin scrambled to his feet, calling after him. Hey, Collin, what are you doing? You re not even using your chair! Collin! Wait up!
