A woman alone might not have been enough to make Jackson lose his mind.

But power could.

I watched the hesitation flicker through his eyes, then harden into resolve.

"Done. Leave it to me."

The day I got exactly what I wanted, Jackson sent me a message, brimming with self-satisfaction.

Sophia, I got what you asked for. How are you planning to reward me?

I sent him a hotel address and told him to meet me in the room.

The second Jackson walked through the door, he pulled me into his arms. Kisses rained down, frantic and relentless.

I didn't push him away.

I just smiled. Cold and sharp.

"Jackson Gilbert. Seven years ago, you crawled into Millicent's bed and betrayed me. Tell me, were you planning to betray her the same way today?"
