The Billionaire’s Valiant Rescue
“Jack’s dad, upon learning that his former friend and rival would be coming to the house to pick up Gracie, quickly excused himself and ran off faster than Jack had seen him move in years.
The prospect of laying eyes on Franklin Travers obviously filled him with the kind of dread only mortal enemies can experience when forced to revisit a demon from their past.
Jack was sure that Gracie’s father felt exactly the same, for when he finally showed up, he refused to set foot inside the house with al...l the delicacy and consideration of a stubborn mule.
“You come out of there right now, young lady, or I will not be held responsible for the consequences,” he boomed over the phone.
Jack could see his car idling out in front, and had even briefly considered waving at the man to invite him in for a drink and the chance to meet. But Gracie thought it better not to taunt the old man.
“If we want to keep on seeing each other, Jack, it’s important to appease my family, not enrage them further.”MoreLess
