Bedmates Soulmates

She paid to have a new identity made for him.

She got him a passport.

She knew his friends and family would be looking for him, but she had no intention of giving him back

When an overseas investor showed interest in the Taylor Group, she took him with her.

They stayed abroad for more than a year,

Owen was careful to never mention the name of McCarthy in front of AustYIL

She waired for the public's interest in Austyn's disappearance to wane before returning to Rinton.

Austyn worked his magic and saved the company.

Chen was finally accepted by her parents and her status in the family rose.

The more he proved his worth, the harder it was for her to let him go.

Austyn McCarthy, with his memory intact, was a man she didn't date to mess with, but she could have Jason Taylor eat out of her hand.

The Perfect Instrument For Revenge

To make sure he never recovered his memory, Gwen switched his medications and bought off the neurologist.

Samonths ago, when Austyn let slip that he wanted to start his own business, she proposed.

This way, he would remain at the Taylor Group and be forever tied to her.

Gwen even planned to get pregnant as soon as possible, so that in the unlikely event Austyn regained his memory, he would not be able to get rid of het so easily. But Austyn was not easy manto manipulate. owen had to bide her time and wait for him to warm up to her.

They had been engaged for half a year now, but he never once spent the night in her apartment.

Nor did he allow her to enter his bedroom

He was intensely territorial and a very private man.

To be honest, Owen much preferred the charm and warmth of cadeon, but she knew that once Austyn developed feelings for her, he would remain steadfastly loyal to her till the very end.

Astyn had wanted to focus on work first, but she badgered him into moving up the date of the wedding

Her position would only be secure after their manage was made official and after she became pregnant.

Whenthe timing was right, she would take Austyn back to Stamford.

She would address him as Jason and parade him in front of Kira and Gideon-the two people she hated more than anyone else in the world.

She wanted to look Gideon in the eye as she ordered Austyn to destroy the Comer family.

She would have the last laugh

As for Kira, she was just the icing on the cake.

Gwen would not have been forced to go under the knite if not for Kira

she would not have been cast aside like trash it not for Kira.

Kisnatched away the man she loved, so she would respond in land by taking away Kira's husband.

Austyn was the perfect instrument for revenge.

The day we ran into him on the street was the oddest day of her life.

She would never let him go, not until he'd served his

Thinking of this, Gwen collected herself

She shouldn't let the mention of Gideon's get to her

She would get even with him sooner or later.

'Miss Hewitt, I've said my plece, and I hope I've made myself perfectly clear. From now on, I don't want you to come anywhere near Jason. He has a new life now, a happyone" owenadopted the breezy tone of a victor

"You've managed to survive four years without him, and you appear to be doing rather well for yourself. I'm pretty sure you can go on living your life without him."

She raised her chin. 'He's mine now. And you shall not covet someone else's husband.'

Kima pushed back her chair and shot to her feet.

She was afraid she was going to completely lose it if she stayed here a moment longer.

She looked down twen

"Austyn hates people who play games behind his back. He abhous being manipulated. When he recovers his memory-and I'll see to it that he does-he's going to recall all the lies you told him, and he's going to come after you with a vengeanor. I just hope you are ready to deal with his wrath."

Kira delivered that parting shot and marched away.

Austyn looked up when he heard a lock on the door.

Samantha entered, carrying a bento box

"What's this?"

sked.

The secretary set it down on the desk. "A young lady dropped this off at the front desk jest now. Said it's lunch ordered by you

The receptionist at the front desk was sceptical, since the woman wasn't wearing a uniform and didn't look like a delivery person.

But the woman just left the bento boxcon the counter and jogged ott before the receptionist could ask more questions.

She examined the bento box, made sure it didn't contain anything dangerous, and then called Samantha.

Maybe it really was ordered by the vice president

Austyn made no move to touch the box. 'What did the woman look like?"
