Chapter 1

My childhood friend’s lover was a thug.

I was sitting in first class on my way back to the country when a blanket from the seat in front of me suddenly hit my leg.

The flight attendant hurried over and crouched down, her face full of apology.

“I’m so sorry, ma’am. Miss Joelle says she likes it quiet and really can’t stand any noise around her.”

“She’s willing to pay 100 dollars to have you move to economy. Would that be okay?”

I set down my water glass, smiled faintly, and threw the blanket back hard.

“I’ll pay 101 dollars for her to move.”

The blanket landed right on the woman in front, and she shot to her feet, pointing at me in anger as she cursed.

“Who do you think you are, refusing to give me face? Do you know who I am?!”

“Garcia, my boyfriend, owns this entire Harmony Airlines!”

“Let me make this clear today. If you don’t move, I’ll have the whole airline blacklist you and make sure you never step on a plane again for the rest of your life!”

I lifted my brows and smiled with interest.

Garcia? Wasn’t that my childhood friend with a marriage contract?

So the thug Christina’s mom had been going on about, the one she told me to come back and deal with, was her?
