Falling for My Dirty Uncle
Page 191
I can see Magnus stiffen. "I have done nothing wrong," he repeats. "Let me be clear. These are allegations only.
"Are you saying there's a plot out to destroy you?" another reporter asks.
"Isn't that a bit too far-fetched?" yet another Daily Journal reporter piles on. "That the media are trying to tear you down?"
But the ironic thing is, that it's true you know?
You've been here from the start. You know what Mom and Laurel Trask wanted to do. You know what I did for them. I'm close to the podium now. I can see Magnus.
And that's when I realize that this whole thing can be solved in a heartbeat.
I have the power.
I can't believe I forgot all about it.
It just means that I have to step up.
Put my money where my mouth is when I say I love Magnus Davion.
And not a moment too soon.
Magnus is looking defeated there.
"How can we be sure that you did not in fact coerce your stepdaughter when it's just your word against her mothers?" the first reporter is asking again.
But I don't let Magnus answer.
Instead I speak up.
"I can answer that," I say boldly and hopefully loud enough.
It is loud enough it turns out because Magnus turns around in an instant. He looks at me.
His eyes go wide.
I walk up to the podium that he's standing at and smile at him.
"Hey babe," I whisper to him. The photographers are going crazy trying to snap as many pictures as they can. Good thing yesterday was an ass day at the gym, as I turn around to put my purse down.
"Babe, what are you doing here?" Magnus whispers. "Are you okay?"
I smile. How sweet. We really are meant for one another.
"I'm here to close this chapter, hon," I tell him.
And then I turn to the masses.
They want a scandal?
Then it's time for a real story.
Magnus
I look out at the sea of faces and then look back to Penny. She's standing there like a champion.
God, she looks so fucking beautiful.
Can you fucking believe that even in this mess, my cock is twitching as I see her standing there in that tight skirt and suit jacket.
