Chapter fiveArielle"Husband?" I croaked in disbelief."Take the spot next to him," Charles said with a pleased smile, "I'm glad you made it Savannah.""Father_" Ian began."Enough!" The older man barked, face hardening with fury, "You will respect this ceremony, my bride, and Savannah, or you'll face my wrath."To my surprise, Ian merely stared at his father with hatred for a few long seconds before turning away."Move, bitch," Savannah snarled, bumping me away from Ian's side and immediately taking my place.I caught Annie's eyes from across the garden and I could see how shocked she looked by the whole thing. Well, I hoped she wasn't expecting any juicy info from me, because I had no clue what the hell was happening. How had my mom managed to tie us to this messy family?I could barely keep my breakfast down as Ian's so called wife clutched and grabbed at him like he was her lifeline. The one thing the dark haired Adonis and I had in common was the fact that neither of us seemed t

Chapter fourArielle"Anyone who has a reason why these two should not be joined together in holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace," the priest said.I glanced up and found Ian's eyes on mine. He nodded his head toward where my mom and Charles stood. I narrowed mine at him in annoyance. If he really thought I was going to stop my mother's wedding because of the history between him and I, well, he had better think again.As far as I was concerned, nothing had ever happened between us.I hadn't even told Annie about it. It was too embarrassing and weird."Have I mentioned that your new step brother is a smoke show," my best friend wolf whistled behind me.I glared at her, "About a hundred times. And stop admiring him, it's creepy and he's an asshole."She snorted, "I don't plan on putting a ring on his finger, Ari. Relax. I bet he could make me forget all the other boys I've been with it. Is he not into women?"I choked on my spit, attracting the attention of the entire g

Chapter threeArielle"What are you doing here?" I hissed at the dark haired man as he slid in beside me."So you agree that you stole my watch?" He asked.My jaw dropped open, and a glance around the table revealed that the other two occupants of it were just as slack jawed as I was.What in God's name was going on here?"Ian your late," Charles' voice was as harsh as a whip."My apologies, father," the man's voice was just as sharp.Wait, father? What!"He's your dad?" I wheezed, feeling bile crawl up my throat. Eighteen years I had lived a good, pure, innocent life and the one time I decided to do something wild and reckless, I had landed in the middle of a soap opera."Have you two met?" Mum asked, glancing between us suspiciously."I-uh- I mean_" I stuttered, feeling cold sweat bead down my spine."Of course not," Ian said easily, "I thought the red hair looked familiar. She looks shockingly identical to the woman I picked up at a bar last night."My mum chuckled, "It couldn't ha

Chapter twoArielle"You finally lost your virginity! Tell me everything!" My best friend screeched into the phone."Shhh," I whispered urgently, turning to look at the man in the bed to make sure he was still asleep. I let out a sigh of relief when I saw he was.Grabbing my panties from where they were flung over the bed side lamp, I stuffed them into my purse, adjusted the strappy hand of my dress and snuck out."It's been over three minutes and I don't still have the details of your dirty one night stand," Annie grumbled, "If you don't want to be my friend anymore, you can just say it instead of gatekeeping this sort of juicy story."I rolled my eyes at her dramatics and shut the door slowly behind me. As soon it clicked shut, I began to run."I don't even know where to start from," I panted as I jumped into the elevator."Start from where I left to go use the bathroom, and while I was standing in a long queue, you were busy falling in lust," she smacked her gum loudly."This isn't

Arielle"Happy sixth married life!" I raised my glass in the air, and toasted to nobody.Beside me, my best friend burst into laughter, "Layla is my role model. I can't even get my crush to call me back and she's getting married for the second time this year. I need to start studying her romance diary like a holy book."I rolled my eyes, "She changes men faster than I change toothbrushes. It's gross."Annie's mouth curved into a sly smile, "speak for yourself, darling. Layla is getting some of that good di_"I slammed my glass of beer down on the countertop of the bar and turned to my blonde bestfriend with narrowed eyes, "Don't you dare complete that sentence, Annie.

Eww, I don't even want to think about that."She threw her head back and let out a loud roar of laughter, "You're such a prude sweetie.""You're gross.""I need to go pee, and who knows, maybe I'll find myself a six feet three, dar
