Chapter 501 Billionaire's Lies

• The next few days were different for Saben, lighter, more optimistic. Through time with Clarisse, reconnecting with her in ways they hadn't yet, the anguish of their past began to erode slowly.

For an instant, he paused—grasping how to approach her, how to even start talking.
