                He shook his head, “No. He’d do the same thing for me. It’s hard to watch him go through this, but I made him a promise. And I’m going to keep it.”

                She squeezed her pillow tighter, “Mercy kill?’

                “ Fuck no, I don’t think I could ever go through with that Amber. Even if it makes me a fucking coward. I was talking about stand by his side until the end. No matter if he wants me to or not. No matter how bad he gets.”

                She pulled Leo into a hug. She wasn’t sure who the fuck needed it more at the moment. She rubbed his back and felt him shudder beneath her touch. But not in a sexy way, more like a man on the verge of breaking down. Grayson wasn’t the only one in pain.

                “You’re not a coward Leo. A coward would have cut and run a long time ago, as God knows Grayson doesn’t always make it easy to love him. But I want you to know I’m in. I’m staying Leo. I have some terms of my own to propose. I’m rewriting this fuckin arrangement. My terms. My way.”

                She released Leo from her hug, immediately missing his warmth. He was smiling and it reached even up to his glossy eyes. It was the most beautiful thing she’d ever seen really.  Things were going to fucking change around here. And the billionaire was going to fall in line. She would show Grayson Godwin she was the fucking queen after all.
