Chapter 697

Nick's POV

"As far as I know, she was supposed to be with you." I didn't raise my voice.Not because I was calm.Yelling at Renee is like throwing gasoline on a fire.Better not, when I can help it.

"But I'm not falling for it." She let out a sharp laugh.

"Game?" she repeated, like the word insulted her.

"Don't talk to me about games, Nick.You kidnapped my daughter.You're violating a court order." She stepped closer.
