CHAPTER 4 — The SUV That Was Never His
When Jasper returned home that evening, the house was dark.
Too quiet.
The closet was half empty.
Hailey’s things were gone.

“Mr. Jasper Cole?” he asked calmly.
“That vehicle was never registered under your name.”

“It belongs to Robertson Holdings. We’ve repossessed it.”
“No, that’s impossible—that was a wedding gift—”

“No… no, that’s not possible…”
But it was.
