Jake scowled. ‘You really want to know?’
‘Probably not.’ She sighed heavily.
‘I think that you have a husband, Caro, and that he should be the one providing for you and Magdalena.’
Caro eyed him mockingly. ‘To keep me living in the privileged lifestyle to which I had become accustomed?’ She shook her head. ‘I don’t need or want that lifestyle, Jake. I never did.’
Jake’s money, and the power that went along with his wealth, had never interested Caro. All she had ever wanted was Jake’s undivided love. Something Caro knew, after learning of his affair with another woman, that Jake was incapable of giving her…
‘Nevertheless—’
‘There is no nevertheless,’ Caro interrupted him firmly. ‘I’ve managed perfectly well on my own so far, and I have every intention of continuing to do so.’
Jake frowned heavily. ‘We’ll talk about this further when we reach the house.’
‘Anything to do with giving me any of your money, for any reason, is non-negotiable, Jake.’
‘I’ll decide what is or isn’t negotiable.’
‘No,’ Caro argued shakily. ‘No, Jake, you won’t,’ she repeated more decisively. ‘I wasn’t interested in your money two years ago, and I’m not interested in it now, either.’
Jake fingers were now clasped so tightly about the steering wheel that his knuckles showed white. ‘Then what does interest you, Caro? Damn it, I’ve never understood what it is you want from me!’
Caro was all too aware of that.
She had been too much in love with Jake during those first few months of their marriage to realise that he had never indicated verbally that he returned the emotion. To realise that the only time Jake let down the tight control he had over his emotions was when they were in bed together.
Caro realised now that her lack of insight was probably because for the first few months of their marriage that was exactly where they had spent most of their time together!
Sex—even the incredible, mind-blowing sex she and Jake had shared—wasn’t enough to keep a marriage together. Especially after Caro had learnt even that wasn’t exclusive! After growing up with a constantly straying father and a thoroughly humiliated mother, she had sworn she’d never repeat their mistakes and remain in a miserable, faithless marriage. So when she’d learnt about Jake’s infidelity she’d left him immediately.
‘Nothing, Jake,’ Caro told him flatly now. ‘There’s absolutely nothing you have that I could possibly want.’
They would see about that, Jake decided grimly.
Because he had absolutely no intention of letting Caro leave his life for a second time…
