He Took My Body, Then Called My Sister’s Name 49

Chapter 11 

Richard watched the scene unfold, and with decades of navigating both business and politics under 

his belt, he wasn’t oblivious to what was happening

Emily,he said thoughtfully, do you think there’s a chance Captain Rivers might actually like 

Olivia?” 

Truth be told, Jack was a rising star. Young, accomplished, and already a unit commanderhis future promised much more than this. If he really did have feelings for Olivia, it wouldn’t be the 

worst outcome

But Emily’s expression soured at once

Dad! What are you even saying?she snapped, eyes flashing. Jack doesn’t like Olivia. He’s mine. I’m the one who’s going to be with him.” 

She pouted sweetly, and Richard laughed it off, raising his hands in mock surrender. Right, right. Our Emily is the one Captain Rivers cares about.” 

He softened his tone. Then don’t just stand there, sweetheart. He’s probably skipped lunch again. Take him something before someone else does.” 

He gave her a gentle nudge, while his wife packed up a lunchbox with leftovers from their extravagant dinner. As she handed it to Emily, her voice dropped to a soft, knowing murmur

Here, darling. If you can win over Captain Rivers, we won’t have to worry about a thing. That man is going placeshe’s already more impressive than your father.” 

Emily’s earlier frustration melted away. She smiled, took the lunchbox, and hurried after Jack

Back at Camp Liberty, Jack sat alone in his room, racking his brain for someone who could help him pull strings. Someone with enough clout to get Olivia back

A sharp knock at the door made him look uphe halfhoped it was Olivia, back with that usual reluctant charm of hers, maybe with a meal in hand. But when he opened it, it was only Emily

Jack,she beamed, I brought you some food. Thought you probably haven’t eaten yet.” 

She walked in, shutting the door behind her, then set the meal on his desk. The spread was much better than anything the mess hall served, but Jack didn’t even glance at it

Thank you, but I’m not hungry.”

He went right back to scrolling through his contactsofficers, commanders, higherups. Someone 

in here had to owe him a favor

Emily’s smile faltered. She could tell he was still thinking about Olivia. Her lips parted in a frown

Jackis there something about me that just doesn’t measure up to her?” 

Olivia was the pictureperfect debutantefairskinned, sharpfeatured, confident in every move. But Emily wasn’t lacking eitherslender, softspoken, with that delicate vulnerability that made men instinctively want to protect her

Usually, Jack would’ve said something to placate her. But not now. Not when all he could think about was Olivia being dumped in the middle of nowhere

You and Olivia are justdifferent,he said flatly, eyes still on the screen

Emily stepped closer, placing her hand gently on his

If that’s true, then why are you always thinking about her? Do youdo you like her, Jack?” 

That question stopped him cold

What was he doing? Why was he this torn up? Olivia was gonewasn’t that supposed to be a good thing? Wasn’t this what he’d wanted

His fingers froze midscroll. Then, with a sudden snap, he pulled his hand free

She was under my command. Of course I’m going to look out for her. And she didn’t leave 

willingly.” 

– 

He found the name he’d been looking for a senior commander he’d helped out once

him big. Jack’s eyes lit up. This might be his shot

who owed 

Grabbing the contact book, he stepped toward the telegraph console. But before he could start typing, Emily suddenly threw her arms around his waist from behind

If she comes back, I’ll be the one sent to Lakewood,she whispered tearfully. You’d really let me be forced to marry some country brute, Jack?” 

Her soft figure pressed close, her voice shaking. Jack hesitated for a beatthen made up his mind

I’ll figure something out. Neither of you are going,he said, voice steady. I’ll make sure of it.” 

He reached for the telegraph again
