Chapter 95

• I slept alone that night.
• Theron had buried himself in his study, poring over anything he could find on Chun Kit and whatever kind of debt he might have been referring to. I didn’t fault him for the obsession. The information Lazaro had shared shifted everything. It confirmed that Theron’s father had more than a business arrangement with Chun Kit and Pink Dolphin something deeper, more personal. And that only made stopping the merger even more complicated.
• I tried to be understanding. I told myself he needed time to think, to sort things out. But it didn’t make the emptiness beside me any easier to bear. Theron may have been just a few doors down, but he felt miles away. Even in those rare moments when his arms wrapped around me, I could feel the distance. As if I was holding someone whose mind had already left the room.
