Alice's POV
I stood in the kitchen and watched Bryan walk through the door after a long day at the office. His tie was loose and his hair looked messy like he had run his hands through it too many times. Grace was already asleep upstairs and the other kids were with Victoria for the night so, the house felt quiet for once. He saw me and smiled, but his eyes looked tired.
"Long day?" I asked as I walked over and took his jacket from him. He pulled me close right away and I felt his arms wrap around my waist because he needed the contact. I knew with how he was acting, he really was stressed.
"Yeah, but it is over now," he said as he kissed the top of my head. "Alice, I have been thinking about the contract all day. The one that we signed. I do not want it to end."
I looked up at him because his words made my heart beat faster. "Bryan, we started this for revenge and the company. Now it feels like so much more. What are you saying exactly?"
