“Well, Gianna seems like you got yourself in a real pickle.” Mama Helen said, placing a glass scotch in front of me.“That guy doesn’t know what he’s missing. You’re beautiful, hardworking and know the importance of family.” Greg said.I sniffled, “He didn’t really give me a real explanation.”What was I doing? Laying out all my problems to a bunch of people I’ve known for half an hour? This was an all time low. To their credit, they were great listeners. Most of what I told them I hadn’t told Lilly and she’s my best friend. It was easier to talk to strangers.Helen owned the place and Gregg and his pool buddy were frequent visitors to the place. It had been raining since I burst in here and I sat there shivering like a wet cat.“So no wedding?” Gregg asked.I took a sip of scotch and nearly leapt out of my seat. I wasn’t suited to this kind of stuff.“I guess so. I have to move back in with my mom which is awful because I only told her yesterday I was getting married.”Helen whistled

“Sydney?” I landed on the seat. “Where are you?”“It doesn’t matter where I am. What matters is what you’re doing.”I glanced at Brea. She stood in front of the door. I wouldn’t be able to run if I wanted to. She watched me like a hawk. How did this alliance even come out?“I’m getting married,” I said.“To my fiancé!”“Stop Sydney.” I cleared my throat and moved from the table and walked to the balcony door.The wedding was at Brad’s ancestral home. I had been on the first floor getting ready for five hours.“Good idea. Jump and all this is over.” Brea smiled.I scrawled and peeked outside. The chairs were set, and the alter was prepared. It was a glamorous display of pearl-white flowers hanging from the green hedges and along the plush grass. Brad wasn’t here. He slept at a hotel.“Darling sister. I can’t even give you the benefit of the doubt.”“I know Brad broke things off with you before you left. Besides what you had was just an arrangement.”“Are you telling me you and Bradley

“I can’t wait until we’re alone,” Brad whispered.“What’s wrong?”He chuckled, “I want to rip your dress off. I want your legs wrapped around my waist. I want you in every position tonight.”I blushed under all the makeup.“You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to fuck you, Gianna. I’ve been dying to taste you. To fill you up. Gosh, this is taking forever.”“Relax.” I rubbed his thigh which might have added fuel to the fire.“I can’t when I have a raging hard-on.”“Ugh, get a fucking room, some of us have just eaten.” Sadie gagged.“Didn’t your mother ever tell you it was rude to eavesdrop?”Sadie offered him a pressed smile, “Hardly eavesdropping when the microphone’s practically in front of you.”“Well, I want the whole world to know I’m a lucky man. I get to fuck the daylights out of the love of my life.”Sadie rolled her eyes. She picked up her glass and left the table.“Oh, how wonderful! It was a beautiful ceremony!” Rebecca arrived at the table with a full glass of Champaign an

“Gianna, the flight is in two hours,” Brad said.“We have time. I can’t find my other shoe.”Brad groaned, “You don’t need it.”“Ugh, I’m not going to leave it here.”We had a flight to Hawaii for our honeymoon. I couldn’t find everything I came with. I would have been done earlier if it weren’t for a couple of rounds of morning sex.“Found it!” It was under the bed.“Great, can we get going?” He sided.Brad wore a casual white shirt that he left open at the top with black pants and a pair of loafers. He nodded at the door and I sighed.“I’ve never been on a plane,” I confessed.Brad raised his brow, “Why do I find that hard to believe?”“You really shouldn’t. Until our boat ride, I had never been on a dock let alone a boat.”Brad scratched his beard. It was just beginning to grow and he hadn’t bothered to shave. I wouldn’t mind Brad with a full on beard. He was look a lot sexier and dangerous.“Your father’s a billionaire. Weren’t you entitled to all the privileges Sydney had? Your s

“Brad,” I said.He looked over his shoulder and shoved me into the hall. Who would have followed us out of an empty elevator?“Brad?” I said again to no response.“Come on Brad,” he opened the door to the room we checked back into and threw me inside.“Why didn’t you tell me the diamonds are yours?”He groaned, “Because it doesn’t matter. I would have given them to you in a heartbeat anyway.” He ran a hand through his hair.“I don’t want them. They’re causing too much trouble. All I want is to go on our honeymoon.”“Believe me my love that’s what I want too.”“Then let him have them. I don’t need them.”“No, Walter Wolfe can’t get his hands on those diamonds. They’re worth a fortune on the black market. The last thing I want is him getting too much power.”“He’s going to continue harassing me!”“I’ll protect you!” He gripped my shoulders and shook me slightly.My brows folded. I saw the turmoil in his eyes. This was what he didn’t want. I wiggled free and wrapped my arms around his to

“Where is she?” Brad demanded.His sister Sadie stood in the foyer with a glass of white wine between her fingers. I would need one of those.“In your old room changing the baby,” Sadie replied.Brad’s face went pale. He barely believed there was a baby. When he heard the little guy cry upstairs blood drained even in his hands.“Well…”“Well is right. How could you do this to me?” Sadie blasted.“To you?” Brad frowned.“You know I can stand Sydney now she calls me Aunty Sadie.”“Relax, I’m not sure the baby’s mine,” Brad said.“Of course the baby’s yours. Scared of hurting my sister’s feelings? You should be more worried about how your son will feel when he realizes his father denied him.” Sydney spoke as she descended the stairs with the baby in her arms.Just the sight of him paralyzed me. His little hand shot out from the blanket. Brad admitted he slept with Sydney so they could make a baby.“Sydney, nice to have you back. Don’t take it personally, I just need a DNA test.”“Why? I’

Rufus lay on Brad’s belly while Brad stared at the ceiling with his arms crossed behind his head. It was a cute sight, but Rufus was a big dog and he took up almost half of my space.“To think you weren’t keen on him and now he’s about to replace me.”Brad rubbed his head, “He’s growing on me.”“The apartment’s too confined for him.”“Don’t worry about it. I bought us a beautiful house with a huge yard. For all the kids and all the dogs.”The mention of kids made my armpits sweaty. I laughed nervously. He probably already had one.“Unless you want to live in your grandfather’s mansion?”“What? No. I don’t know what I’m going to do with that place. It’s enormous.”“You could sell it. I know a ton of people who’d want to buy it.”“Dad might not like that. I should ask him what to do.”“How are you going to do that when you’ve been banned from going to his house?Great question. I can’t believe Sydney stooped so low. I didn’t know she harboured such great resentment toward me.“I don’t k

“Are you going to stay in bed all day?” Brad asked.“Doesn’t sound like a bad idea,” I replied.He kissed my forehead, “Don’t tempt me.”“I don’t have to. You can just get back in bed.”That would mean him getting out of his perfectly tailored suit.“I have work to do. I should be on my fucking honeymoon.”Tell me about it. We should have been in an exotic hotel thinking about heading to the beach.“I’ll make it up to you I promise,” he said.“Don’t worry about it,” I smiled.“No, I’m taking you somewhere special after I kill my uncle.”I shot up, “What?”He barked out a laugh, “Relax. It was a joke.”“That isn’t funny. You wouldn’t kill him would you?”“No, I would give him a very severe warning about coming near my wife again.”“Brad doesn’t hurt anyone not on my account please.”“I can also beat him up because he betrayed the family’s trust.”“Please don’t.”He captured my lips in a slow passionate kiss. “You won’t make me soft.” Brad opened the door and Rufus strolled in.

“Sorry about your shirt,” I said as Rocco washed his hands.“It would have been my shirt or your dress. I needed a distraction to get you alone,” he smirked.“How do you know my Dad?” I wasn’t sure I wanted the answer to this.“We’ve done business together. Whatever that is you don’t need to know.”I planted my hand on my hip, “The first day of our relationship and you’re already keeping secrets from me?”Rocco laughed. He grabbed my chin and kissed me. “One thing about me is I’ll try to protect you at any cost. Let it go, okay?”I nodded. My heart settled. Some things were better left buried.We walked of the bathroom at the same time and drew some eyes. I turned to Rocco he walked ahead unbothered. He oozed confidence. I appeared by his side. I still had to answer questions about my ex-boyfriend and being seen so close to Rocco would spark rumours then I remembered I needed to get Candice out of the bathroom.“I have to take care of my sister,” I whispered.Rocco smiled easily, “I’l

After Rocco left I couldn’t sleep. I curled into my bed and rethought the entire night. The most traumatizing thing was Chad kissing Cleo. I couldn’t digest that I was single. I’d been with Chad for so long already. Rocco bore his heart out but the night wasn’t long enough for me to come to a decision.The next morning, I had to get ready for my sister’s engagement. I put on a brave face for my family and prepared of the engagement taking place at seven in the evening.Gianna told me she couldn’t make it. She hadn’t been feeling well so Brad put her on lockdown. I needed my best friend but this was my battle to face. There would be questions when I showed up without Chad. Mom would throw a fit.The sun came and went before I knew it I was packing up my makeup and picking shoes. After drowning a glass of wine I called a cab. The engagement was at my family’s estate which had been in the family for years. Mom would sell her leg before selling that piece of property. Thank goodness I did

Rocco chuckled, “Aren’t you going to answer that?”“Hide in my room!”Rocco grimaced before walking to the couch, settling on it and lifting his feet on the stool.“That isn’t hiding Rocco!”Rocco rolled his head back and rested his palms on his chest like an innocent man. The pounding continued.“Lilly, open up,” Chad demands.I fidgeted with my hands. I couldn’t just wait here until he went away.“Want me to open the door for you? You knew this was a long time coming.” Rocco pushed himself up from the couch and closed the space between us. He was right. I cheated on Chad now I had to face the explosion.I marched to the door. I glanced at Rocco there was a hint of surprise on his face but he said nothing. I opened the door. Something squeezed my heart when Chad appeared on the other side stood his receptionist Cleo.“What’s going on?” I asked.Chad marched inside, Cleo tailing him. Alright, y’all can both come in, I thought.“You’re asking me what’s going on? Who’s he?” Chad pointed

Rocco picked up the phone slowly. He leaned back and brought the phone to his face. Silence settled between us while he scrutinized the photos. Did he even know what he was looking at? He was so drunk nothing must be registering in his mind.Then he tossed the phone on the table.“What is this? Did you come to seduce me with your semi-nude photos?”“Excuse me? Seduce you? Don’t you know what those are?”“Pictures of your ass,” he said, bringing the empty glass to his lips. He frowned when he got nothing out of the glass.“Pictures I didn’t take! Did you send these?”“Why would I, Lilly?”He hauled his body off the chair and staggered to the liquor case. I groaned and followed him to the case. I caught his arm before he could grab another bottle.“That’s enough alcohol for one night,” I said.He snatched his arm back. “You can’t tell me what to do.”“I have a problem here! Someone has nude photos of me if it isn’t you.”“Your naked imagine is embedded in my mind for the rest of time.”

I ran to my door but there was no one chasing me. I ran as if a dog was right on my heels. I never wanted to see another silver suit in my life. I didn’t think I would have to walk around nearly butt naked. I would have to sell my soul to do it. I’d have to sell my soul to pay Rocco back. Tears rolled down my cheek as I rummaged my kitchen for a bottle of wine I kept for special occasions. I kept it under the sink. I pulled out the bottle of white wine and grabbed a curvy wine glass. I filled the glass and collapsed on my couch. I was screwed. I would have to go to my parents for money and maybe my sister. I sniffled the ultimate embarrassment. I kicked off my heels. My boyfriend would leave me. At least my best friend wouldn’t abandon me. On my second glass pounding came from my door. I grumbled. I ignore it and took a sip. The pounding continued. I didn’t care I couldn’t afford this apartment anyway so if my neighbours complained it was fine with me. “Emilia! Open this door.” I

I arrived under the cover of night at the nightclub. I let my hair down, plastered on red lipstick. I pulled out black heels from the back of my closet and pulled on a black coat. Maybe I would fit in at the club. Still my skin crawled when I entered the underground club.The bouncers let me through. The bartender left his station and told me to go to the office to the right. It wasn’t Rocco’s office. The office was smaller than Rocco’s office. It had a desk and a chair behind it. An arm chair the in the corner of the room as well as a small liquor cabinet.“Where’s Rocco?” I asked.“He left but I was told to bring you here when you came.”“Okay?” I walked to the chair in the corner. “By whom?” Too late the bartender was already gone.I picked up the brown liquid on the desk. I brought it to my nose and winced. Strong stuff. Did Rocco have another office? He wouldn’t mind if I helped myself to a bottle in his cabinet.I scanned the bottles each one stronger than the last. I settled on

My sister scowled and raved about me being late and my hair being a mess. I couldn’t argue with her about my hair. It looked like I just walked out a bed I’d been fucked in all night. I was thankful rather than mad when she gave me a pink beanie.“You know what you’re looking for Candice?”“I’ve got an idea. I’m thinking glamourous rich princess.”“I’m having a hard time envisioning it,” I frowned as we walked into a dress store with pink cursive letters over the door. Headless manikins posed in the windows wearing dresses of all sorts of designs.We walked in and the scent of lavender and lilac welcomed us along with a ceiling covered in yellow lights. Rows and rows of wedding gowns lined the walls and extended to the backrooms. This place reminded me of how I missed my best friend’s dress fitting.Gianna’s situation was complicated. I wouldn’t have made much of a difference. Her sister-in-law showed up with her husband’s ex-mistress. The day ended with a damaged wedding dress that G

Rocco’s fingers traced the line of the side of my body. How did I end up back here? I lay in his bed, staring at the bathroom door. My clothes had been discarded on the ground. I asked him to help me forget that people exist. He did that. For hours.Subtle moans turned to screams that would have Rocco’s neighbours reporting him in the morning. He closed his lips on my neck. If I checked the time on my phone it would tell me, it was somewhere after two in the morning. I should have been at home instead I was snuggling closer to a man that had knives sticking out of him.“Rocco?”“Lilly?” he rested his palm where he wore a cold metal ring on my hip.“Aren’t your neighbours going to complain? I made a lot of noise.”He chuckled and brushed my hair out of my face. “They should get used to it.”My heart cracked with information I had tucked in the back of my mind.“Right… you have a lot of women here.”“None of which are like you.”I wanted to tell him all women are different but he slid h

“Hey,” I flipped my hair over my shoulder and smiled wide.Chad marched in and looked around.“Are you with someone?” He asked.“What? No. I’m alone. I’m ready too. Shall we get going? You know mom likes us to be on time.”He eyed me from head to toe. “You look gorgeous but I’m sure I heard voices in here.”“Voices? I had the TV on must have been that. I turned it off when I answered the door.”“You were talking to the TV?” He raised his brows at me.“Chad? Would I do that? Maybe you’re just stressed you work a lot.”“I’ve been stressed before and I’ve certainly never heard things.”His eyes roamed around the living room and scrutinized the balcony doors. Anything but the bedroom.“Can we leave? I don’t want to get on mom’s bad side tonight.”He br
