Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39

“Tommy, tell me the truth, if you had known my sister was the one that wrote that proposal, would you have wanted to divorce her?”

Thomas’s face suddenly fell, he loved Danielle more than anyone else, but the position was owed to him. Without responding, she already knew the answer. Wiping her eyes, Danielle let out a low laugh.

“That’s what I thought. What was I supposed to do Tommy, be your permanent mistress? Marry someone else? Tell me!”

Thomas knew Danielle was right, if it met securing that deal; he would have gladly stayed married to Rabena and played the dutiful husband. What would his plans have been for Danielle then? Thomas wasn’t sure, besides, none of that mattered now, all that mattered was him pleasing Michales finance and securing that deal. He wasn’t about to let his smug cousin take his position!

“None of that matters right now Danielle. The focus right now is securing the contract, help me do this and we can still have our happily ever after.”

Danielle’s eyes beamed with joy, she’d still had a chance at her happily ever after with Thomas, all she had to do was play the role she’d known so well. The role of a loving sister. Just then, the rest of the Crests walked into the room. Amber the first to speak.

“Well, I most certainly hope you’ve calmed down and apologized to my daughter.”

Amber sneered as she saw the two of them sitting together. Before he could answer, Danielle grabbed his

arm.

“Mother that’s enough. Tommy and I have made up! The most important thing tonight is making sure we all secure that MGT deal.”

Darius scoffed, no longer was he thrilled about the idea of Thomas and Danielle being together. All that week, he couldn’t help but think about the pain and anguish this family had caused Rabena,

“And how exactly do you plan on doing that?“.

“We’re going to go with Danielle’s plan and say Rabena is sick.”

Daniel looked at Thoams in disbelief, surly he didn’t think Chairman Michaels would fall for something

like that.

“You don’t really think that’s going to work?”

Thomas glared at Daniel and Dafius. ‘What the hell is wrong with these two! Did the miss the part about Crest Real Estate being a part of the deal?‘ Thomas began to get annoyed, usually the only brother that gave him a hard time was Dampon. Suddenly, Davis spoke up.

“We don’t have a choice Dantel and Dartus. The market has been staggered, a deal like this could be worth

billions if he expands throughout the entire continent. We have to do this.”

Darius looked slightly disgusted at his father, suddenly those words from Damon played in his mind. ‘I’ll never respect a man that didn’t protect his own daughter.‘

“And if Rabena finds out we’ve been lying not only on her name but on her health?”

Amber let out a loud scoff, who the hell cared about that nobody! Before she could answer, Davis responded.

“We’ll find a way to make it up to her, right now this is more important.”

Davis looked directly at Amber as if to say, ‘stay quiet if you want them to help.‘ Rolling her eyes, she sat on the sofa next to Danielle.

Thomas began to go over the plan for the evening, by the time he was finished, it a little after 1pm. Standing up to leave, he gave one more final walk through.

“Alright, so that’s the whole plan, if we all stick to same story that Rabena is sick with pneumonia and could not make this evening, we should be fine with explaining why she isn’t there. As long as everyone plays the role of a loving and concerned family, we should be good.”

Thoams made sure to look directly at Amber, it was no secret she hated the girl the most, he would need her to at least pretend to care.

“Amber, just pretend it’s Dani.”

With that, Thoams left the mansion leaving everyone speechless.
