Bitter Truths (The Denton Family Legacy 3)

“Abel?”

“Yep.”

“Damian?”

“Nope. Betty isn’t his.”

“Wait. He had a kid with a woman, and she’s not even the right one? What happens when he find the right woman?”

“Exactly the same as my uncle Stuart.”

“What happened with Uncle Stuart?” She couldn’t believe what was happening right now.

“He married his high school sweetheart, and then discovered his woman was the nanny, or the babysitter.”

“Oh my God!”

“Yeah. So he ended up breaking hearts, and it caused a lot of trouble.”

“I can’t believe it.” She rolled her eyes, hoping he detected the sarcasm in her voice.

“Look, I just want you to be happy, okay? I’m willing to wait, and—”

“I can’t deal with this right now.” She held her hand up, silencing him, and then leaving the kitchen.

Of course, Oliver followed her. “You can’t fight this, or walk away.”

“I can do whatever the hell I want.” At the doorway of her new room, she spun around to glare at him. “You’re not my boss. You’ll never be the boss of me, and right now, I really don’t want to talk to you.”

“You’ll come around.”

“Oh, I will, will I?”

“Yeah, Mom, Lou, and Harper, even Michelle came around. You can’t resist it.”

Stepping back, she glared at him. “Resist this!” She grabbed the door frame, and slammed the door in his face.

How dare he!

She wasn’t some kind of machine, and there was no way she was going to be putting up with his crap. Not now, not ever.

Moving toward her bed, she picked up the private files that had been waiting for her to take.

Instead of opening them, she went to her cell phone, and dialed her contact’s number.

“I wondered when you were going to be in touch,” Lewis said.

“I’m sorry. Can you do me a favor, and find everything you know about a family called the Coltons?”

“I thought you were after the Dentons.”

Lewis was a one of a kind friend. He was tall, thin, and a total nerd. She adored him, and he was the only person she’d gotten close to during her time in foster care. He was always there, watching her back, and helping her to get anything she needed. Lewis was the reason she had so much information on the badass family.

Biting her lip, she sat down, and rubbed at her eyes. “They didn’t kill my family.”

“I tried to tell you that.”

“Look, I know what I heard, and someone knew about them. I want to know everything about the Coltons, and can you find a tail from my brother ten years ago? I want to know who he was looking for.”
