Can't Let Go Read Online Free PDF

Mitchell took her under his wing he taught her to read between the lines and how to keep business and pleasure separate. Grace faced her fair share of catty women trying to start rumors to break her and Mitchell up, of trying to make her feel insecure and unworthy of being in their midst. She endured a lot of scorn and outright threats from his exes but she did it because she loved him and she believed he returned her affection.
    She was getting dressed for another dinner function, another night filled with polite talk, business and seeing Mitchell. All she had to do was get through this get together and then she’d be Texas bound tomorrow. She was applying lipstick when she saw Landon’s name on her cell. She paused for a moment. The kiss had been pleasant and she enjoyed his company but she felt nothing other than friendship for Landon.
    “ Landon?”
    “You’re going to the party at Pat Smith’s tonight?”
    “Yes,” she said warily.
    “Need a date?”
    She put a hand on her hip even though he couldn’t see her. “Landon, you’re a tease. Why should I go with you when you didn’t call me after the last party and I’ve been wondering all week about that kiss?” There was laughter in her voice.
    He chuckled. “I’m a stupid, selfish man. I’ll make it up to you tonight. ”
    “ I don’t think so!” she said, exasperated. “I don’t want a replay of last week.
    His voice changed. “Has Mitchell been giving you trouble?”
    “No. Not really.”
    “You want to tell me who put those bruises on you?”
    “It’s not important.”
    He sighed. “You’re one stubborn, independent woman.”
    “And I like it that way,” she retorted.
    “Mitchell’s a stupid bastard for letting you go,” Landon said carelessly. “This isn’t the first time we’ve fought over the same woman.”
    Grace paused in the act of smacking her lips. “Is that so?” Why was this the first time she’d ever heard about it? “I thought you guys were just business rivals.”
    “We used to be good friends and then Rachelle happened. It was a long time ago and we both got screwed by her.” His voice was hard with remembered anger.
    “Figuratively or literally?”
    “Both. She fooled both of us for a while before Mitchell caught on. I think she’s in Europe now,” Landon said carelessly.
    “ Fooled you how?” Grace demanded.
    Landon hesitated. “Ask Mitchell. I don’t want to get into all this- that’s not why I called. Do you want to come with me tonight?”
    “I don’t want to make another scene. I’ll pass for tonight. Thanks though,” Grace said, going over this new information.
    “Alright. But if you ever want to mess with Mitchell’s head, give me a call,” Landon said.
    Grace laughed. S he couldn’t help it. Landon was always up for a mischief and scandal. If he wasn’t so focused on taking digs at Mitchell she probably would have gone to the party with him.
    Ever efficient, she began to pack her suitcase. She hoped Mitchell would keep his distance this time. He pushed her in public because she wouldn’t see him privately. He also knew she wouldn’t make a scene. Smart ass. She spread her clothes over the bed, accessorizing and planning outfits when her cell rang. She frowned at the unfamiliar Texas number, wondering why Casey would borrow someone’s phone.
    “Hello?” Grace said.
    “Is this Grace Stewart?” a brisk voice asked.
    Alarm spread through her. “Yes. Who is this?”
    “You may want to have a seat. I’m afraid I have some bad news.”

Chapter Three
     
    She wasn’t sure how long she’d been sitting on her bed but she came out of her stupor when she heard her front door open and close. She didn’t have the energy to call out or be afraid. Grace couldn’t stop staring at the phone lying beside her manicured feet encased in Jimmy Choo shoes.
    “ Grace?” a masculine voice called.
    “No,” she moaned and covered her face with her hands.
    Not him. Anyone but him. He called her
