"Austin"A werman's soft voice raised heads in the cardroom

Austyn turned around

Kaleigh stood in the open doorwar, looking abashed.

She wore a floor-length off-shoulder white dress with a cut-out at the side.

Austyn stood up, pushed back his chair and walked over to her. "What are you d

u doing here?

'I'm sorry. Am

Aminterrupting?

His cuct reply flustered her.

She blushed 'I called you but you didn't answer. I went to your office but couldn't get in The receptionist said I needed an appointment, I..I thought you might show up here for the party, so I decided to..."

It was the only way she could meet him.

She lowered her head and gripped the fabric of her dress.

The poker game had stopped.

Everyone else in the room was gawking openly.

Kayleigh Woods was a celebrity

Some had heard rumours about Mr McCarthy dating her.

Maybe it wasn't just a rumour,

One man nudged another and winded.

Mr McCarthy came with a plus-one.

Now he was talking to another gorgeous woman who seemed to have eyes only for him.

He was one lucky man.

Austyn scowled.

He glanced around and glimpsed the adjoining inner room. "Come here.! Kayleigh followed him.

The room was small and held only an armchair, a coffee table and a long sofa.

it was mostly used for guests to take a quick nap during all-night poker games.

The men in the room exchanged knowing glances and suggestive smiles, They all knew what was going to happen inside that ro

Austyn closed the door to shut out the wise.

Why are you looking for me?' He went straight to the point

He'd intructed a not to bother him if Kayleigh called, which he knew she was bound to once she realised her career had been suspended.

Austyn's aloofness cut Kayleigh to the quick

He didn't even offer her seat or a drink, or ask how she was doing.

Kayleigh forced out a smile. 'Austyn, please don't be like this. I know you still care about me.'

"Cut to the chase. Austyn tappeil his watch.

Kayleigh stood in front of him. Tinow you care about me you do just now in the room, those men were undressing me with their eyes. You could't starul it. That's why you pulled me in here, isn't i She traced a finger along his am. 'Admit it!

"Yes, I care about you."

new it! Her eyes lit up. 'Austyn, 1-'

"I care about you because you're Finley's sister. He was my buddy. His sister is my sister. Of course I won't let those men ogle you.

Sister?

Kayleigh blanched at his cruel words. "I'm not your sister,"

'Not biologically, but I treat you as one.

Kayleigh felt as if someone had slapped her face and run a dagger through her heart at the same time.

She trembled. 'If you see me as a sister, why did you have sex with me two years ago?"

Amirthless smile fitted across his face. I was going to let it go, but since you brought it up."

Kayleigh took an involuntary step backwards

She had a sinking feeling in her heart

"Two years ago, you landed your first lead role in a drama. The show's rating was good. Viewership shot through the roof. I went out with you to celebrate, along with the rest of the cast. I had one glass of wine. Then I passed out. Kayleigh's face had gone pale.

She dared not lookup.

Austyn trained his eyes on her. 'I woke up the next moming in a hotel room, with you next to me in bed. I thought I had lost control and done something to you.' Kayleigh's lips quivered.

"That suite is reserved permanently by me. Plenty of people know about this. After the room got broken into, I asked the hotel management to install cameras inside. There's one above the door, another behind the oil painting, and a third hidden in the ceiling. Thave access to all the camera feeds."

He crossed his arms. 'Need I go on?'

Kayleigh's face was sheet white. L'

"I checked the footage the next day. You stayed behind after my assistant left, then you crawled into bed next to me. You took off all your clothes, even removed mine. But I never touched you. I was unconscious."

Austyn pinned her to the spot with his eyes.

"I take care of my own. When they make mistakes, I'm inclined to cut them some slack. But the one thing I can never ever tolerate-Austyn pinched her chin and forced her to look up-is betrayal. You handed me that glass of wine. You were the one who spiked it, weren't you?"

Kayleigh shook her head vehemently. 'No, it's n..it's not me! I didn't do it!'

*Tell that to someone who believes you, 'He released his grip and turned around.

'Austyn!" Kayleigh screamed and lunged for the door

She blocked his path and clamped both arms around his waist.

"Please, please don't go!"

She planted hurried kisses on his face.

'Please don't leave me! I was wrong. I know that now! But I can change!"

Austyn turned his face away and shoved her back

'I promise I'll change!' she was sobbing now. 'I will! My parents left me. My brother left me. You are all 1 have left! Please, you can't do this to mel

'You bought this on yoursell" Austyn's face was granite.

"But I love you! Why can't you just forgive me, just this once!

Austin grabbed her wrist when she tried to throw herself at him again and pushed her back "Kayleigh, don't make me look down on you."

Kayleigh staggered and hit her back against the door.

Tears streamed down her cheeks.

Hermascarawas suudged.

Austyn kat stood and watched.
