Brae knew if this continued he would immediately go back to his antics. He'd just start issuing demands that she would be helpless to refuse.
"Listen, I can try to love you. I promise."
She had no plans to do that whatsoever but she'll say anything to get him to agree. If he can lie straight to her face who's to stop her from doing the exact same thing.
"I'll try to be affectionate and I won't deny your affection, how about that?"
Jaces heart was beating rampantly. This is perfect. Sooner or later a baby will be born and love will blossom.
Brae felt like an idiot. Thinking back to a few years ago, she must have had insects eating her brain.
She knew Jace was obsessed with her. Hopefully she can find out the reason he seems to love her so much. Once she does, she will use it to her advantage.
Being patient isn't one of her strong suits but for this situation, she is more than willing to try.
It's unlikely he'll change in the process. But if somehow he does then that's even better.
"What did you mean when you said you could've had me a year and half earlier?",Brae asked.
She didn't doubt he could've but she wanted to know how.
How did he find her so fast?
"Are you serious? You moved to the city next to my main headquarters. I would be stupid to not check R City.", Jace answered mockingly.
Brae felt stupid. The plan wasn't perfect but she couldn't risk marriage and so she had left in haste. She had no time to second guess anything.
Escape was the only thing on her mind two years ago.
She would've of moved overseas had she had enough money and resources. Sara was the only one supporting her through her escape so she didn't want to get her too involved.
Sara is a mutual friend through Jace and the only silver lining through her relationship with Jace.
So she needed to do all she could to save her.
"Since I'm here and cooperating, can you release Sara and Paul", Brae asked.
"Heh", Jace had a smirk on his face.
"I know what you're trying to do. But I'll comply. Sara will be left alone but you can't contact her anymore, okay?", it wasn't a suggestion and she knew it.
"Okay", Brae felt this was best anyhow.
Had she said no, she would've been putting Sara in danger anyways.
