About The Billionaire Who Left Me
Ren Calder was older, surer, the one you'd have bet everything on. He left you on your birthday.
Now a billionaire family has hired you to restore their photographs. Boxes of faded faces. A house on a black lake. Work that should be quiet.
Then Ren, of all people, comes to you with an offer.
A building. Yours. All you have to do is stay away from the lake.
You used to know every look on that face. You don't know this one.
A man who walked out on your birthday shouldn't need a building to keep you at a distance.
So why does he?
“Always. Ask anyone. It’s my least popular quality.”
A taste of the story
From Chapter 1
He gets into the lift behind me before the doors close.
It’s a mirrored lift, which is cruel. There are four of him and four of me, and every one of me has mascara on one eyelid only.
He presses a button. The lift stops between floors with a soft lurch.
“Are you serious?”
REN
“Always. Ask anyone. It’s my least popular quality.”
He doesn’t come closer. He doesn’t have to. It’s a small lift, and he’s a big man, and my back is already against the glass. He smells of black coffee and cold weather and, under it, of him. Warm skin. Something I could pick out of a crowd blindfolded.
That’s not fair. That should have worn off by now.
REN
“I’ll buy the building.”
“What building?”
REN
“Yours. Greenpoint. I’ll buy it tonight and put it in your name. You can paint the walls pink and never pay rent again. Just don’t go to Wren House.”
I stare at him. He means it.
“You’d do it before dinner.”
REN
“I’ve done stranger things before dinner. Ask Rotterdam.”
