Reasoning that by then, it will be too late for her to just walk away.
But when Lainey finds out that she has been lied to and manipulated again, Jase has to put on the performance of his life to win her back. Or for once, will the guy who’s used to getting everything, lose out on the best thing that’s ever happened to him? Views: 26
