“Who do you think you are dealing with?” Michael was the first to react, throwing the papers hard against the floor "Do you think you can come to my house and make fun of me like that?!"
“What does that mean, Aaron?” Violet cracked a shaky smile, seeming to be trying to hide how nervous she was “You… You're not going to let another cheap trick like that fool you, are you…? Rose may have given my uncle the wrong documents, but of course you realized that her true intention was to harm your family..."“Of course I see clearly who is trying to harm my family here.” Aaron replied, letting Violet's expression lighten for a moment, before he continued "My sister-in-law worked hard to get a full scholarship to a top college in her area, and yet her parents were cruel enough to try to screw up her future and force her to marry a stranger. All this for money. But, what amazes me the most is that, even after the thousands of ti"What?" Rose gasped in disbelief “You told me you traveled with him to see the orphanage where he grew up! Not to get married!”"Uh... We... We can discuss this later, yeah?" Grace gave her sister a sheepish smile “The important thing is that now we've given them a taste of their own poison! And I managed to control my expression until now, couldn’t I?” she turned to Simon, with a sincere smile Rose had never seen her give to anyone else before "I managed not to screw up the plan!"“Yes, dear. You did it." that gigantic man literally melted around Grace, hugging her so gently that anyone would think she was made of glass “I knew you would be amazing.”“But… What the fuck!” Michael swore, angrier than Rose had ever seen her. “You went mad or what? I'm going to call that shitty college right now and make a fuss until they throw your stuff out on the street...!”“You can try...&rdqu
“I don't think I've ever felt so relieved in my entire life!” Grace cheered as they all got into the spacious car Aaron had arrived in, sitting on Simon's lap as if she hadn't even realized what she was doing “I can't believe this is all over! All I want to do is get home and tell everyone that...”“That you got married?” Rose asked, feeling a little betrayed, almost like a mother who had just found out her teenage daughter was pregnant.“Uh… I…” Grace stammered, losing that carefree expression in the blink of an eye “I know I should have told you earlier, but… It's just that everything was so perfect when we went on a trip a few days ago that I just couldn't control myself. Simon has always been a gentleman, but I knew he wanted to get married and start a family, so I thought the best way to show him how much I loved him was to ask him to marry me..."“Did you ask him to marry you?&rdquo
"If I had known your sister getting married would make you so happy…" Aaron commented, pulling Rose out of the thoughts she was sinking into as she watched Grace and Simon sharing a piece of cake nearby "I would have brought Evans to this house a long time ago…"“Aren't they cute?” she sighed excitedly, laying down against her husband's chest "God, I never thought I'd be making the sweets for my sister's engagement party so soon, but... Seeing her so happy is so wonderful... Even though sometimes it's still hard for me to accept that she's marrying the same man that those two creeps were pushing her."“Do you have anything against a contract marriage that turned out well?” Aaron asked, placing his hand up her bare knee, under the skirt of her dress, making a caress that to anyone else might seem innocent, but she knew very well the lustful intentions behind it “Because if so, that is very prejudiced of you, Mrs. Vamcap. Sometimes
"Is this really necessary?" at the sound of his wife's question, Aaron turned to see her fingering the fabric of the sleep mask that was blindfolding her.“No spying.” he teased her, couldn't help but laugh when he saw her wrinkle her nose, but still move her hands away from the mask.“I could just close my eyes, you know...”“I don't trust you not to get carried away by curiosity. Besides, I already said, where we're going is a surprise. Where would the fun be if you took the risk of seeing something?” he questioned her, not resisting the urge to take his hand off the steering wheel for a moment and poke the cheek it had puffed out."Very good. What do you think adds to the fun and gives me a clue as to where we're going?" Rose crossed her arms, clearly suspicious.“See? That's why I asked Grandma to borrow one of her sleeping masks for us. You couldn't stop yourself from peeking in while we were on the way.”
Never in her life had Rose thought anything sounded like a dream or too good to be true. In fact, before, she thought those sentences didn't even make sense, as it seemed impossible for something to be this good. However, when Aaron sat her down on his lap on the huge couch that was in the office of the bakery that was now hers... There were no other words Rose could use to describe how she was feeling. It all felt like the best dream she'd ever had. And, God, she hoped she never had to wake up.With a groan, she moved her arms to allow her husband to move the top of her dress off her chest, fondling her breasts hungrily through the fabric of her bra, until she was rolling her hips against the growing erection in his pants.“Congratulations, wife…” without any warning, he pulled her bra cups down all at once, sucking her nipples hard “You just convinced me to replace this sofa with the biggest bed I could find…”“I don't thi
Rose had never been on a trial before, especially one dealing with an inheritance, which technically should be something simple. However, she was starting that in the world of billionaires, which she was also a part of because of Aaron, this was not something unusual, since there were so many lawyers specializing in this issue, who were now sitting on opposite sides of the front rows, facing the judge and the bailiff who were organizing themselves up ahead.Sitting where she was, holding Aaron's hand, and in the same row as Adele Jullian, Rose could see very clearly the serious face of Andy, who appeared to be reviewing something in the papers that the rest of the lawyers representing the Vamcaps had handed her. She had been so distant from her family lately... Rose liked to believe it was because she was just too focused on studying all the processes that had happened so far and finding the best way to intercede on her family's behalf. That's why she was away from home so much
“I want to start by calling out my client and plaintiff, Alphonse Vamcap.” Mr. Compton announced, as soon as the judge allowed him, causing Alphonse to walk with his chin held high to the small podium next to the judge “Mr. Vamcap, can you tell me if you ever suspected that your first wife might be cheating on you while you were married?”“No, never.” Alphonse shook his head, without hesitation. “After all, Imogen made me feel terrible for having found a new love, even though we knew our marriage was arranged and we didn't feel anything for each other. However, now I can see that she seemed to be trying to cover up her mistakes, making me feel so guilty about mine.” He sighed, as if he was the biggest victim there.Aaron growled beside Rose and she used both hands to stroke his arm, trying to send him a silent message that soon those lies would be exposed.“And, by chance, had you ever suspected that, by chance, th
With that same sobbing victim posture and the damned handkerchief pressed against her eyes, Hazel walked over to where her husband had been sitting earlier, making whimpering sounds that sounded pathetic to Rose's ears.“Take it easy, Mrs. Vamcap...” the lawyer sighed, as if in pity “Soon this will all be over.”"All right..." Hazel took a deep breath, like she was about to pass out or something "Ask me anything you want."“Mrs. Vamcap, do you have any memories from the time when she was still having an extramarital relationship with her husband that might corroborate what he just said?”“Oh yes, unfortunately yes…” Hazel whimpered “Poor Imogen… I felt so bad for being in love with Alphonse, even though their marriage was nothing more than a contract… I always considered her a victim, but now… I realize how wrong I was. You know, one of the days when I was at the Vamcap house, at Al
