Love Redesigned (Lakefront Billionaires, #1)

by Lauren Asher

I take advantage of her distraction to steal the phone from her back pocket. “Give that back!” Dahlia reaches for her phone, but I hold it above her head. I struggle to rip one of the rubber gloves off thanks to the soap covering it, but somehow manage to bite down on the tip of one finger and pull. “Julian!” She claws at my arm with her freshly manicured nails. I can vaguely overhear Rosa speaking from the other room, asking if she should go check on us, only for my mother to assure her that everything is fine. “What’s your password?” I ask while attempting a few number combinations myself. “Screw you.” She turns her attention toward the spot between my ribs that has me jolting. “Give it back.” She tickles me again, and my grip on the phone slips. Oh fuck. Her phone falls into the sink full of water and lands at the bottom with a sickening thud. “Oh my fucking God! I’m going to kill you!” She dives for the phone and pulls it out. Water drips everywhere as she does everything in her power to turn it back on.
