Finally, a day off.

Caleb insisted on showing me around, ending with dinner.

Just as I got into his Maybach, an unknown number called.

Only family and my lawyer had this number.

Mia’s tearful voice filled the car.

"Ms. Sullivan, I’m so sorry to bother you, but I’m desperate!

“I didn’t mean to ruin your things! Lucas offered to pay! Can’t you just drop it?

“Suing me hurts him! Don’t you care about him?

“If you don’t stop... I’ll leave! Then Lucas won’t be stuck in the middle!"

Unbelievable.

She was still performing.

Caleb shot me a puzzled look.

I smiled weakly, biting back curses.

He tactfully commented after I hung up, "Interesting audiobook."

"Uh, yeah." I said.

He pondered. "Irene, seriously? At your age? No wonder your reports read like bad fanfic."

I had no defense.

Even Caleb spotted Mia’s act. Yet Lucas, the idiot, fell for it.

Why hadn’t Lucas paid? Did he still expect me to crawl back?

Idiot. Moron. Imbecile.

Caleb drove us to a famous mountaintop restaurant.

Two hours of winding cliffs later, the view was breathtaking – misty, ethereal.

The view was the main course.

The owner welcomed Caleb warmly, trying to hug me next. Caleb blocked him.

"Miss Sullivan, you’re the first girl Caleb’s brought here,"

the owner whispered, delivering our food.

My eyes widened.

Was he really into Liam? Liam and I look alike...

"Every couple who dines here leaves a photo there,"

he gestured to a wall covered in pictures against a backdrop of stunning wood.

"The Wood of the Sacred Peak. Blessed by the mountain, one can be together forever."

Caleb grinned at me.

Before I could dodge, his arm snaked around my waist, pulling me close.

Our cheeks pressed together in a picture-perfect, intimate shot now adorned the wall, blessed by a mountain.

He beamed at the photo.

I braced myself for an awkward "you remind me of your brother" speech.
