Chapter 183. Make Her Hate Me

Kaden

When I woke up the next morning, my head was buzzing with thoughts about what had happened the night before—my confrontation with Kier. I was really curious about how he found out about my arranged marriage, which I thought was just between my dad and me. I needed to figure out how he got that info.

That also made me think about Candice, who would definitely be hurt if she discovered this. I wanted to keep it all under wraps, just between my dad and me. She had no idea I was planning to leave Manhattan soon.

I knew I had promised her I wouldn’t leave her behind. But I was just trying to be a good son, following my dad's wishes. I didn’t want to let him down. Still, I couldn’t shake the feeling of why I had to make such a personal sacrifice for this whole situation.
