Her beauty, icy and perfect, mirrored her ruthlessness. Bella was an ice queen in every
sense.
Bella returned to her office to work while Steven took Ryan to discuss the settlement of
compensation.
As Bella’s attorney and secretary, Steven had the list of damages ready. The total was an
eye-watering amount.
However, that was the price to pay for forging Alexa’s design.

A man’s digitally altered voice was heard on the other end of the line,

Her eyes widened, and her heart raced.
