I gave my temples a good rub, which were throbbing with irritation, and told Ruby, "Get security to remove them, or call the police if they can't handle it."
Ruby saw my bad mood and didn't push for more information.
Out of the blue, my cell phone buzzed with an unknown number. I answered it without thinking too much.
"Jean, I heard from Monica that you've had a crush on me for a long time. Since that's the case, I'll give you a chance."
It was Liam.
I couldn't help but sneer. "What do you really want?"
"I will agree to take the house and marry you, but you must accept the baby Monica is carrying and raise him as your own son."
I hung up the phone without saying a word, deleted the number, and blocked it.
Liam and Monica were cut from the same cloth when it came to being idiots.
The thought of people like Liam and Monica with such disregard for human life just sent chills down my spine.
They had been able to kill me for money in my past life. It wasn't out of the realm of possibility in this one.
I picked up my phone and made a call.
"Ms. Stone, do you have any strong, tall, brave men available?"
My boss, Yvonne Stone, sounded amused. "Yes, yes, yes, I'll send them over right away."
