assignment?”
Amanda sighed and turned to face him. “I know you’re focused on your own agenda, but you know as well as I do you won’t get what you want unless I get what I want first.”
He stared at her. “That doesn’t answer my question.”
A soft knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
It was Emma. “Viggo, can I come in?”
He stared at Amanda with his lips tightened for a few seconds, then went to open the door. Emma peeked inside. “My dad is here, he wanted to say hi. Is that okay?”
Viggo forced a smile, still furious with Amanda for disrespecting his wishes, but curious about finally meeting the man who fathered his grandchild. He opened the door wider. “Of course.”
A tall blond man stepped into view, and the blood drained from Viggo’s face. Loke’s smug grin met his widened eyes with unbridled triumph. Over by the mirror, Amanda drew a sharp breath. Loke glanced at her with an amused look before he extended his hand to Viggo. “Hi Viggo, I’m Emma’s father. It’s so nice to finally meet you. I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Viggo swallowed hard, unsure how to act. Emma frowned, confused, as Viggo didn’t accept the hand shake. Noting her worry, Viggo lifted his arm and squeezed his former tormentor’s hand, unable to fake a smile or utter a word. An uncomfortable silence lingered. Loke released Viggo’s hand and turned to Amanda. “I didn’t mean to interrupt. I just wanted to say hi and congratulate you on the engagement.”
Amanda’s smile came out more like a grimace. She glanced at Viggo, panic shining through. Loke couldn’t contain his enjoyment. “You make an excellent couple.”
Viggo’s phone buzzed over at the dresser. Relieved at a chance to get away, he excused himself and walked over to check the display. Svala’s number filled the screen, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly clicked to answer. “Viggo.” His voice didn’t hold.
Svala cried through strained breaths. “You have to come over,” she said.
Behind him, Amanda stared at Loke as if afraid he’d vanish and reappear somewhere unexpected if she lost sight of him. Viggo glanced at them both. They mustn’t find out who’d called.
“Viggo, are you there?” Svala asked.
“Yeah, hang on for a second.” Viggo lowered the phone and pressed it to his chest. “I have to take this, it’s my agent.”
“Are you leaving?” Amanda’s eyes widened.
Viggo nodded, then headed for the door, the phone still clutched against his chest. “I’ll be right back.”
He pushed past Loke to get into the hallway, and walked further down where they wouldn’t be able to hear him. He lifted the phone to his ear. “What happened?”
“You have to come over, Vig. I need you.” Svala cried.
“Of course. Tell me what happened.”
She breathed rapidly through the tears. “It’s Trym. He’s gone. I don’t know what to do. Please, come. Hurry.”
“I’m on my way.”
