"..." His thought, indeed, was the same as what she once had.
Sometimes she also wondered, if Jordan Guthrie had not risen to his current position, would things have been any different between them?
She would always be the pawn placed next to Jordan, the illegitimate child, and those above would never have a moment to move against her. She would never betray Jordan, so all that is happening now... perhaps it would never have occurred.
But that was just a fantasy.
Joy Parker sighed in her heart.
A person like Jordan was destined to be extraordinary from birth. He was a dragon among men and even if once suppressed underwater, given a chance, he would soar into the skies.
The former is destined to be the former, irrelevant to the circumstances.
"Maybe." Joy chuckled lightly, nodding her head. She looked tired, sitting on the lounge chair appearing fragile.
Jordan extended his hand and gently held her fingers, whispering, "Joy... will you stay with me? I can't be without you."
