Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Keegan was not happy. “Why should I leave just because he’s here?” he asked.

“Don’t act all indignant! You know how close he and my brother are. Trevor’s going to know you’re living here the moment Marshall shows up. He already doesn’t like you, and Wenham isn’t fond of you either. The Hall family despises you even more. This is your chance to make a good impression. So show some restraint and know your boundaries, okay?” Stella explained.

Keegan’s face looked tense as he said, “Marshall came without prior notice; why aren’t you accusing him of not knowing boundaries?”

Stella was puzzled by Keegan’s logic. “It’s not like he’s the one I’m with.”

That response seemed to ease the tension.

However, Keegan still was not keen on leaving. “We should just go public if he tells Trevor.”

Stella shot him a sideways glance and said, “While I don’t want to discourage you, I have to remind you that you’re on my family’s blacklist. When I mentioned your name during our reunion, it was met with silence. Plus, Trevor texted me yesterday, asking about my type in men, and claimed he had many quality options for me to choose from.
