Chapter 3 - THE MAN WHO REMEMBERED HER NAME
Walter Fenwick called the county library three days later.
I was shelving books in the children's section when my supervisor approached.
“Hannah?”
I looked up.
“There's someone on the phone asking for you.”
I frowned.
“Who?”
“Walter Fenwick.”
My stomach tightened.
The billionaire from the gala.
The man who'd witnessed Paige humiliate my children.
I took the call.
“Hello?”
“Mrs. Breckett.”
His voice was calm.
“This is Walter Fenwick.”
“Yes, sir.”
“I hope I'm not disturbing you.”
“No.”
He paused.
“I wanted to apologize for what happened at the gala.”
I stared at the phone.
“You don't need to apologize.”
“I disagree.”
His tone remained gentle.
“People in my position have a responsibility to challenge cruelty when they see it.”
My throat tightened.
“Thank you.”
He continued.
“I also wanted to ask whether you'd be willing to meet with me.”
I hesitated.
“About what?”
“Your husband's company.”
My stomach dropped.
“Colin?”
“Yes.”

Walter paused.
“Mrs. Breckett, I believe there are some things about Breckett Commercial Strategies you should know.”
