Sweet Subterfuge
Chapter 7
“What the hell do you mean?” Larissa was no longer able to keep calm, and she leaped to her feet, scaring the waiter who had brought her drink over.
“Your—your lemon tea, miss.” The waiter put the cup on the table nervously, his eyes darting between the two before leaving. Even then, he kept turning back to look at them.
Having been interrupted like that, Larissa recognized that she was in a public setting and somewhat restrained her discontent.
“I paid the down payment, and I’ve been paying the monthly mortgage too. If the house has nothing to do with me, then who else could it belong to?” She struggled to keep her voice low enough so that only the two of them could hear.
Hearing this, Travis unhurriedly retrieved yet another document from his ever-present briefcase.
“Take a look at this.”
On the top of the first page, bold letters announced the document to be an agreement for the gifting of property. Larissa’s gaze stopped at the title for two seconds before she began reading quickly—
Gifter: Larissa Seymour (hereinafter referred to as Party A”)
Giftee: Travis Hardy (hereinafter referred to as Party B)

back to reality. “Hurry up and sign the agreement. I still need to look after Amber at the hospital. I don’t have time to waste with you here.”
I won’t sign it,” Larissa said. Her voice was light but firm. Before she figured out all the fishy stuff in this deal, she would never let Travis have it his way.
Travis scowled irritably. “Even if you don’t sign it, the house is still mine. It’s impossible to give it back to you.”
