The Billionaire and the Cleaner (20 page)

This is
hurting me to write. Lana, I did love you, but life was easier for me to not be
part of it. If you’ve ever been in love you’ll understand, and if you haven’t
you won’t. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I just wanted you to know that I’m
sorry for all the pain I caused.

Kent
watched as
she read it. There was no emotion on her face, nothing. “Are you okay?” he asked.

He’d read the letter before giving it to her because it
hadn’t been sent to the post woman. A nurse had delivered it to his office with
a warning that it might not be a nice letter.

“Yeah, this apology sounds like her. I can’t believe she’s
dead.”

Pulling out the picture in his pocket,
Kent
handed it
to her. “This fell out of the letter. It’s a baby picture of you.”

The tears did fall then. He wrapped his arms around her and
held her tight as all the emotion ran out of her.
Kent
closed his eyes as he forced
his cock to relax. Being without her every day was sending his libido all over
the place.

They’d been together five years, but that time hadn’t
stopped his attraction for her.

“I’ve got nothing to say about it,
Kent
. She did
have a picture of me as a baby. I get it, but I can’t do anything about this
letter,” she said.

“No, you can’t do anything about the letter, but you can
know she didn’t act the way she did because she wanted to. Your mother was
heartbroken and lost. I know that doesn’t excuse her behaviour, but at least it
will give you closure on the matter.”

Lana wiped her tears. “You’re right. It really does.”

Once she settled down,
Kent
handed her another letter. A
letter he hadn’t opened.

“What’s this? I’m almost scared to open it.”

Kent
was nervous
for her. He’d gotten the call himself from the publisher asking if it was okay
to approach his wife with a deal. From the minute he got the call on the
acceptance he wanted to call Lana. This was her moment to realise she’d
succeeded. No one else had a right to ruin it.

She opened the letter and then squealed. “They want my
book,” she said.

Lana threw her arms around him. The love he felt for her
multiplied. All he ever wanted for her was to get her dream. Watching her work
on the book had made him nervous and happy for her. Her passion for cooking was
infectious.

Wrapping his arms around his wife,
Kent
was once
again thankful for Lana entering his life as a cleaner. The billionaire and the
cleaner, no one had expected them to have a happy ever after but they did.
Kent
looked
forward to the many years he was going to spend with the woman he loved, his
best friend, his soul mate, and his cleaner.
