Jace’s face stiffened slightly. “Last night, I was worried something might happen to Tanya. You know Desmond was his parents‘ only son. Now, the baby
He didn’t finish, but I got it.
“So, as long as it’s about her, you’ll always put her first, right?” I asked coldly.
Jace was quiet for a couple of seconds before he said, “Once the baby’s born, things will be different.”
I laughed.
As I turned my head, the rising sun stung my eyes.

Even though Jace and I had a falling out, I was still his employee and had to keep working. including handing over my duties.
I didn’t quit right away because I wanted to finish the project I was working on, especially the amusement park project.
I had proposed this project, and it meant a lot to me.

My dad had once said he would build an amusement park for me someday. But after he and my mom died in a car accident, I became an orphan.
A year ago, Jace bought a new piece of land. When we were discussing what to do with it, I suggested building an amusement park. To my surprise, he agreed and put me in charge.
I was grateful to him for that. He had allowed me to fulfill my dad’s wish.
I had dreamed of the day the amusement park opened, riding the Ferris wheel with Jace, and telling my late parents not to worry about me, that I was ha
Now, it seemed that dream wouldn’t come true.
