Fifteen minutes before the trial, Paul, Adam and I gather around.

"Alright. Let's discuss our strategy once more," Paul spoke. "We're going to mention that you had to file a restraining order against her. Then we're going to call multiple witnesses who will testify to Nina harassing you," he said to Adam.

"There's also the fact that I'm married to Payton," Adam added.

"Yes, that too," Paul affirmed. "We don't have Ethan, but I still think we have a solid chance to win."

"A solid chance? It sounds like we have the upper hand!" I exclaimed.

"Unfortunately, Nina has some things going for her as well. She has the tape where Adam claims that he wasn't married," he sighed. "The judge might rule in her favour, seeing as your secret wedding with Payton was presented only after the Las Vegas marriage with Nina," he said to Adam.

"I can't falsify a contract, and she can drug someone in order to marry them? How is that fair?" Adam scowled.

"Well, this will include lying under oath, which is a se

    It's been a month and a half now, after the whole fiasco with Nina. An enjoyable moment of living with Adam. A moment of Happiness, Joy and Love, but most of all, unending Peace.When I finally revealed that I was pregnant to Adam, I was so scared, actually frightened, that Adam wouldn't accept me, or the baby, but I'm glad things turned out for the better. He wants us both in his life, and we could not be happier.My sexy hubby walks on while I'm lying on the couch. "Hey, babe. What are you doing?""Nothing, just reading a book," I answered lazily. I slam the book (Sidney Sheldons' Bloodline) shut and go up to kiss him. As I come close, I see that he's hiding something behind his back."What's behind your back?" I stretched my neck, trying to get a glimpse."I have a surprise for you," he grinned his famous devilish grin, which tells me I'm going to like it.He brings out the hand from his back and my jaw drops. In his hand is the most beautiful dress I've ever seen. It's a long shim

    "Adam, I know you're in there! I won't leave until you come out and take responsibility for your actions!" She yelled, shaking her fists angrily."My husband isn't home. Now, please leave before I call the cops!""That's what you'd like, huh?" She scoffed with contempt. "I'm not leaving till Adam knows what he did to me.""What he DID to you?" I ask, perplexed."He didn't tell you about that night, did he?" She smirked wickedly. "Well, tough luck, sweetheart. I'm pregnant and he's the father."She's . . . Pregnant?But I'm pregnant for him, too. . . TWO MONTHS AGO I walk into the office with the most composed face I could pull and ignore everyone's curious looks. I frantically pull out the computer records and start inputting data.I'm never taking the bus again. Half an hour later, when I see that I'm barely on the seventh page of the document, I let out an exasperated sigh.I have so much work to do! How will I ever make it on time?Focus Payton, you can do this. You like this jo

    I unlock the door to room number 105. I think this is my room.I walk in and my eyes go wide. My hotel room isn't a room at all. It's a freaking apartment."This isn't mine, Mr. Owen," I exclaimed. "I must have accidentally switched the keys.""No, this is yours. Mine is down the hall," he replied."But . . .""Is there a problem?""I'm pretty sure I booked a smaller and cheaper room for myself," I stated."I upgraded you. I want you to be on the same floor as me if I need you. Is there a problem?" He asked again.Why did he even do that? I thought that was my job . . ."Of course, there's no problem! This room is fantastic. Thank you so much!" I smiled widely."You don't have to thank me." He glanced at his Rolex. "My business meeting shouldn't last long. Let's meet up for dinner in, let's say . . . an hour?""Sure, that sounds great." Wow. I'm having dinner alone with Adam.He seems to have read my mind, because he promptly adds. "Of course we won't be alone. My friend Paul Winston

    I cautiously enter his office. I take a chair in front of him, trying to appear confident."So, Mr Owen." I began, "what did you want to talk to me about?There was a brief pause, and the room gets so quiet that I can hear my own heartbeat. His face is stone cold and I hold my breath as I prepare for the blow."I need you to be my wife!""I'm sorry?" I coughed out, almost falling off my chair.Surely, this must be a joke. He didn't just ask me to be his fake wife, right? I keep waiting for him to burst out laughing and yell, “Got ya!” but it doesn't happen so I start to get nervous."You want me . . . to be your wife?" I slowly repeated."Fake wife," he corrected."Right. You're going to have to elaborate on that," I said, folding my arms. Adam sighs like he can't believe he's having this conversation right now.But how could I understand what's going on in that handsome head of his? One minute ago, I was so sure he was going to fire my ass . . . but instead, he wants me to be his fa

    I call Thea and ask her to meet me at the mall. As soon as I see her, I scowl."Thea, how could you not tell me about the document?" I cried. "You could have at least warned me!"She blinks a few times. "What document?""Oh, I don't know. The one you signed this morning, maybe?" I replied sassily."I have no idea what you're talking about," she said, confusion eminent on her face. She looks sincere but I still can't let it go."Does the name Adam Owens ring any bells?""Oh! Yea, he showed up on my doorstep this morning and asked for my autograph," she beamed. "He looked amazing, I'll tell you! I don't know why he was wanted it, now that I think about it . . . Damn it, I should have asked him for his!" She exclaimed."Did he get mad because I didn't?"It doesn't take me long to realize what actually happened. "So you just signed a document without knowing what it was about?" I deadpanned."To be fair, it was really early, and he looked like a god," she remarked."Jesus, Thea! You signe

    "We dated for about four months before we got married," Adam lied."How did you two meet?" He questioned."She used to deliver pizza for a living, and the first time she knocked on my door, I couldn't take my eyes off her. I found myself ordering pizza almost everyday which really wasn't good for my figure," he answered.Some journalists chuckle."So instead, I offered her a job, thinking it'd pass. It only made it worse. Until one day, I finally talked myself into asking her out . . .and she said yes." Adam turns his head and looks at me.His eyes burn with passion and desire as he takes me in. "She's the most beautiful woman woman I've ever laid my eyes on." His gaze dips to my lips, and my heart starts to beat faster.Did he really mean that? If not, he's one hell of an actor! Right at that moment, a journalist yells, ‘Give us a kiss!’" My eyes go wide, unsure what Adam is going to do. He accepts the challenge.He places his hand around my waist, and he gently pulls me closer to h

    A few hours later;Adam is pacing the floor with his hands behind his head. His best friend, Paul, is sitting in one of the arm chairs, while I'm standing and looking at them while leaning against the wall. The air is tense."This is such a mess. I can't believe she's doing this to me!" Adam fumed, his tone slightly aggravated."Calm down. I'm the best lawyer in town. We'll fix this," Paul reassured."I don't understand what's happening right now. Can someone please explain?" I begged."My wife is suing me for half of my fortune, that's what's happening!!" Adam bellowed."I knew that. But why was she so certain that I wasn't your real wife?" I queried."God, my head is killing me," he groaned, stopping his pacing and rubbed a hand down his face to his chin."Let's focus for a while, alright? I won't let her screw you over," Paul voiced out."And how are you going to stop her?" Adam sneered.Paul strokes his chin and addresses us. "Well, first if all, you two need to move in together,

    "Adam?" I breathlessly called out."Yeah?" He hummed in response.I take a step back and turn my head away, averting my eyes from his handsome face and tempting lips."It's probably best if I leave. I need to start packing my stuff since I'm moving in with you," I announced."Yeah, right. You do that.""I'll see you later." I start to walk towards the door. I flip my hair and add a little sway to my hips as I make my way to the door. Once I reach it, I turn around and see him smirking.I bet he liked the show. ***I look at all my stuff, now neatly packed in boxes and suitcases. It's been three days since the red carpet rendezvous and I still can't believe I'm doing this.Marriage was one thing, but living together?Just then, my phone pings and I see it's a message from Adam.Adam- Are you getting here soon?Payton- I'm still waiting for the moversAdam- Well, hurry upPayton- Oh . . .Payton- Hey, it's not up to me.Payton- I'm doing my best.Adam- I know, I know.

    We entered into the shop and I took in the red carpeted floors, the black wall boards designed with some gold stuff, the shiny chandeliers hanging a few feet above us. There was also a couch with some cushions, and a showcase–as wide as the whole room– that held different toys."I've never been inside a sex shop before. I'm really curious to see what they have," I exposed."Well, browse away," he commented.I took a look at a shelf with several dildos on display in all colours and sizes. "I didn't know they had dildos this small," I lamented, and point at a sliver one with a diamond at the bottom. It can't be longer than three inches."I mean, I prefer dildos that are thick and long, but some women might prefer smaller things. There's really something for everyone here," I remarked, my eyes sweeping the self."That's not a dildo, Payton," Adam laughed."Then what is it?""That's a butt plug," he answered. I feel my cheeks turn red. "You can use it for the feel of double penetration,

    The same day I found out about the pregnancy, Thea and I met up for some coffee.The cafe wasn't really crowded, so we found a spot close the window and settled down. We both ordered coffee with cream and sugar, and Thea ordered cake with hers."I'm nervous, Payton," she fidgeted with the foam cup in her hands, "I'm meeting Paul's son tonight– the one from his first marriage with the stripper. I really want him to like me," she spoke, and pursed her lips."You have nothing to be worried about. He's going to love you," I laid a reassuring hand on hers."You think so?" She said hesitantly."I know so!" I nodded, taking a sip from my cup. "You should totally show him the card trick. You know, the one you learned from the surfer in Tahiti a few years ago. That'll impress him," I suggested."Good idea! I'll do that," she sat straighter, her countenance immediately brightening. "Do you want to go out and have a drink with me after? I can tell you all about it and how it went," she offered,

    The next day before I head downstairs to say goodbye to Bunny, I rummage through my closet. I set eyes on a maroon dress adorned with pearls.Good enough. I put it on and I open the door to find her standing in the doorway, tightly holding her suitcase."I wish I could stay a few more days, but I have to get back to my cat. I get anxious if I stay away from her for too long," she explained."I understand. It was great having you here," Adam responded.She smiles, turning to me. "I'm glad I got to meet you, Payton," she addressed."I'm happy I got to meet you too, Bunny. You're welcome back anytime you want," I offered sincerely.Sure, I know she's got good days and bad days, but she's family, and family always sticks together."That's very sweet of you, dear. Thank you!"Dear? My eyes nearly bulged out of their socket. Who is this lady, and what have you done with Adams grandma?Bunny smiles like she knows what's going through my head, then turns to Adam. "I can tell that you really l

    As planned, I'm with Thea who offered to help me get a new dress that Adams grandma might actually like."Thanks for meeting up with me, Thea. I really needed a break from Adams grandma," I stated."She's really that bad, huh?""This morning, she wanted a special brand of cereal– the ones we had at home weren't good enough. Which is crazy considering Adam has about TEN different brand flavours," I complained."So, what did you do?" She questioned with furrowed brows."I went to the store and got the one she wanted," I murmured and Thea raises a brow. "Don't give me that look. I want to impress her," I whined, having a strong urge to kick my legs in the air."Well, you're not going to impress her by buying her cereal," she countered and I release a heavy sigh."You're right, like always. So what should I do?" I folded my arms, waiting for her response."Just show her how much you and Adam care about each other," she advised."Except everything about how FAKE the relationship is. . ." I

    Adam comes out of the room all dressed in a blue shirt and black shorts, and when he sees the lady, smiles at me and holds out his hand to the woman in front of us."Payton," he turns to me, "this is Bunny. The most important person in my life." She was putting on a peach coloured long dress with a gold belt.Bunny scoffs and rolls her light brown eyes. "Adam, please. Your wife should be the most important person in your life. Or is there trouble in paradise already?" She sneered. I obviously look taken aback, because Adam hurries to change the subject. "Do you need help with your bags?" He queried."Do I look like I need help?" She spat, her brows furrowed in a frown.Adam rubs his neck, a little flustered. "Umm. . . No?""Damn right I don't. I've carried them all the way here by myself, I think I can manage to get these to the guestroom," she grabs her bags– which is mainly a medium sized box and a little travelling bag– and leaves in a huff, her brown wavy hair swinging with each

    I throw my arms around my best friend, hugging her tightly."I wish you could stay a few more days. I'll miss you so much!" I cried on her shoulders.She pulled away for a moment and rolled her eyes playfully. "Don't be silly, we'll see each other in a week, right?""Of course, you'll be the first one I call when I get back," I grinned."I better be!" Paul gives Adam and I a firm handshake. "Thanks for inviting us here. It's been great. I hope the rest of your vacation is drama free.""Once can only hope," Adam replied and Thea and I simultaneously chanted "here, here!" Then laughed at ourselves."Bye, you two!" Thea called and gave us a wave. We watched as they turned and left hand in hand. Paul's carrying her luggage like a gentleman and she beams up at him, smiling.I have to admit . . . they look really good together.Adam grabs my hand and squeezes it. "Let's go back to the hotel and enjoy the pool for a bit.""Sounds perfect!"***Two weeks pass in a blur. With Nina and Ethan

    "How about we start off with a shower?" I proposed and he smirked. "Sounds good to me." We both step into the shower, and I turn the water hot. Adam grabs the soap and a loofah sponge and starts to wash my body. I close my eyes, enjoying the feeling of being taken care of. I let out a small gasp as he reaches my breast. "Turn around," he ordered. I do as said and he starts to rub the loofah all over my back. When he's done, he gently kisses my neck. I return the favor and clean him just as he did to me before we turn off the tap and step out. I wrap a towel around my breast and Adam, on his waist. "Are you ready to go out and celebrate?" Adam asked as we highlighted from the bathroom. He moves to the night stand and picks his phone. "Paul just texted that they'll join us, and I paid for a VIP section." "I'm ready, I just need to get dressed," I answered. He snacks me on the butt as I go for my clothes. I look back at him over my shoulders and see him grinning. I blow him a kiss
