Chapter 27 A Long Night

• Fransischa stood silently, her gaze fixed on the door to the hotel room where Rayn slept. Truthfully, she was thrilled when she heard he had a shot at rebuilding the business empire that the Floss family had once destroyed.
• Yeah, the Floss family, the same greedy bastards who had rigged deals and crushed Rayn’s world, stripping him of everything he had. Knowing someone was stepping up to help him reclaim his throne made her heart swell. No more watching the man she cared about sink into endless injustice, all because of one corrupt, power-hungry family.
• But then Briana’s words hit her like a punch to the gut, Rayn had another woman by his side, someone working the strings behind the scenes for him. The sting of jealousy was real. After everything, after all the history, Fransischa had kept her identity hidden from Rayn, never revealing that she was the heiress to this hotel, that her father was a businessman who could have helped. Instead, she had chosen to stay on the sidelines, watching from a distance.
