My father organized a husband for me. He needed me to get married to him for his benefit but never thought about mine. Where I come from our fathers told you who you should marry. Women are nothing but pawns for them to toy around with. I was prepared for a ruthless husband like my father was, but I was surprised when I met Dex. He is patient and honest. His father and his brother want him to be as ruthless as them. My father wants control and money. Dex has the power to end them all if he gets help from his biggest enemy who was once a friend.
View MoreI roll over to my side only to lay on someone's chest. I scrunch up my face and open my eyes a little to see it was Dex. I picked up my hand from his chest and sit up. I look around the room and sighed. "Lay back down and get some more sleep." I hear a husky voice say. I look at Dex and shake my head. "No, I'm up now." He smiles and pulls me back down to him. I fall on him and groan. I look up at him. He smiles. "I want more sleep." I roll my eyes. "Don't you have to go to work?" He shakes his head. "Not unless I want to. It's nice to be the boss." A knock comes from his door and he groans. "Go away, Luca!" He yells. The door opens and Luca walks in. "I wish I could but Olivia is here and Grant." I look at Luca. He looks at me with a smile. "Good morning sunshine." I smile back at him. "Good morning, Luca." Dex groans again causing me to look at him. He looks at me and stops. "You have to get up." He shakes his head. "No, Luca can deal with them." I shake my head and try to si
I sigh as I finish reading a chapter in The Notebook. I close the book to the sound of the front door opening up. My father and Dex walk in. I stand up from the couch as Luca sits up from the other couch where he was watching TV. Dex looks back at me and I look at him with a small smile. My eyes went to my father as he turned to me. I gulp as he narrows his eyes. I look down. "Grace?" Dex said. I look up at him to see him watching me. "Yes?" He holds out his hand. "Come here beautiful." I walk over to him and he wraps his arm around me. He places a kiss on my cheek and I let out a small smile. "How did your shopping go?" He asked. I clear my throat as I lift up my hand to show him the shiny 18-karat diamond ring with three diamonds. One big diamond and two small diamonds. It was very beautiful but extremely expensive. I look up at his face to see him smile. "I hope you didn't pick it based on the price?" I shake my head. "I wouldn't let her," Luca said as he walked in. Dex looks at
I walked out of my room wearing a looser dress that hugged me on the top but was loose on the bottom. I didn't bother wearing shoes because I was inside and didn't plan on going anywhere. I was halfway down the steps when Luca peeked around the corner and smiled. "I was just about to go get you. Food is done." I nod. I opened my mouth to reply when a pair of hands placed on my waist. "You look beautiful." Dex breathes in my ear. I smile and look at him. "When did you get back?" He smiles. "Half an hour ago." I gave him a sad look. "You didn't tell me." His smile deepens. "I didn't think you wanted to be bothered." I nodded. "With Luca cooking, I was bored watching tv." "I will remember to check in with you next time." I smile. "Good." He chuckles. I turn as his hands drop. I finish walking down the steps and get to the kitchen to smell the rich scent of the spaghetti sauce. I hum as I walk up to the table. Luca looks at me. "I'm guessing you like spaghetti?" I nod. "It's one
"Remember what I told you?" Father asked me as he turned to me. I look away from the white oak door to him and nod. "Stay quiet and smile?" He gives me a slight grin. "As soon as we walk through that door the deal is done. Dex is free to deal with you as he pleases. I would try to listen as best as you can because his temper is almost as bad as mine." I swallowed harshly as I glanced at Mom who looked at me with a smile and nodded. I look back at Father and nod. "Okay," I breathe. He nods and turns to the door. It opens and I get a heavy wave over my chest. I knew this was it. I was going to get married at the age of 24 to a man I'd never met. Father stepped inside and was greeted by a man who looked a few years older than me. He had black hair and brown eyes. He looked very fit as if he worked out every day. He dressed in designer clothes that a rich man would wear. He spoke with a Mexican accent as he shook father's hand. I glanced at the guy standing next to him who listened to
