My Life As An Escort ~ Book 2 New Beginnings (Completed)✅

Chapter 5 ~ Hostility

Jacob's POV

I had just sent an email to Evan McCain regarding a couple properties he may be interested in. I had done some research on him and noticed he had several properties throughout the states but nothing internationally, so I took a chance to see if he would bite. Just like I thought he did. I sent him a prospectus on the potential of rental investments and sure enough I had him sold.

As fate would have it, I actually owned the property that he bought in Atlanta. I sold it to him not knowing he was the Evan that Cadence was now with. The house belonged to a client a while back so I bought it and then I renovated and sold it for a two million dollar profit to Cadence's fiancé. The house was actually worth a lot more because of

the area but I was just ready to recoup my investment.

I still couldn't believe Cadence was going to marry this guy. She needed stability and from talking to Evan time and time again he's never around. If he didn't watch out someone could steal her away from under his nose.

The last time I saw Cadence she was wearing some skin tight shorts, a tank that moulded her breasts and her hair was pulled from her beautiful face. I wanted to grab her and pull her in my arms and never let her go. Gawd I wish I had made a move on her first.

No I torture myself to see her with another man when it should have been me. I would give her the world and she wouldn't even have to ask. I know she feels the connection we have, I just hate she had it in her mind that she wants this guy and has to settle for him, when I have a feeling that she feels something for me.

I want to move on and accept that she will never be mine but there is still a flicker of hope that she will come to her senses. I hope she realizes that just because Evan fathered her child she doesn't have to marry him. Marriage is a commitment that should not be taken lightly and between two people that are willing love one another even after death.

I pulled up to my office as the valet greeted me and I headed inside. I checked my mail and still nothing from Garrett. It had been weeks since we had spoken. It almost seem that he was avoiding me because he was still pissed off about how we argued before he left. Maybe he had found some woman to occupy his free time.

I know he had been working with a couple of new clients in Europe. I had left several messages for him but he hadn't called back. I didn't call to apologize but to make sure he was okay. We had never gone this long without some type of communication. I hadn't really seen any new properties hit the register which was concerning because Garrett had the looks, charm and the ambition.

I had been thinking about what Cadence said about Garrett but until I had more clues or heard it from his mouth I just couldn't believe it. Garrett was never a violent type of guy so this was so out of character for him. But as she spoke I could see her visibly shaken. I never wanted to see fear in her eyes but I saw some as she described her experience with Garrett. Then to top it off she thought he was gay and in love with me? It was no way in hell he was gay or loved me like that. For christsakes we were best friends. And as many girls we have had sex with, I would have noticed years ago if he was gay. I shook my head of the crazy thoughts that fed it.

I sat at my desk and went over a couple of new listings that were placed on my desk. I had several meetings scheduled, but the one I was looking forward to was this afternoon with Evan. Although I have dealt with him in the last few weeks, this was my opportunity to size him up.

"You ready to meet?" Chris said walking in the door.

"Yeah, just give me a second."

"Did you see the latest issue of Musiq Entertainment?" Chris said turning the pages.
