Whimpering, my eyes followed the click sound of the pen in his hand, and he laughed and pocketed it when he saw the direction my eyes had gone.
“There's no need to be scared, little girl. I'll make sure you don't remember anything.”
I shuddered and fingered the pen, the same one I'd just seen in my memory, when the sound of footstep alerted me I was about to be found out.
*****************************************************************************************
Danielle Morgan’s father was murdered—and she’s spent all her life hunting his killer. When a hidden hint in her boss’s office links him to the crime, she makes a bold move: seduce him, marry him, and expose the truth from within.

Jonathan Carter, a guarded young CEO haunted by the suicide of his best friend, never expected to fall for his secretary, as he was just focused on finding out the truth. But Danielle isn’t who she pretends to be… and neither is he.

As passion blurs the lines between justice and betrayal, dark secrets rise—and someone is framing Jonathan for murder.

She wanted revenge.
He wanted justice.
Now, the only thing they might lose… is each other.

I'd pondered on whether to ask her this question or not, even though it was the first that had come to mind when she had suggested this ridiculous game. I hadn't been honest with my answers, and I'd been around enough liars a lot to know she hadn't been totally honest with me either. In the end, I decided to ask her. I wasn't that curious since I was confident of my ability to find out without her help, but it was a lot of fun to fluster her every once in a while.


"Why did you go searching in my room the night I traveled for a meeting?" I asked her, and she froze. She remained silent for the next two minutes, and when she responded, it wasn't the question I had been expecting she asked.


She shrugged. "Fine. I get that you knew I had looked in your room, but how about you? Are you watching me? Do you have a monitor on me or something like that?"
