All Chapters of The Bad Boy & The Mermaid : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

HunterFred and Hannah helped me choose a wedding ring for Blue. It was a round solitaire diamond stud in a platinum ring, a little out of my budget but looked really beautiful. My bank account was almost empty, but it was worth it. Blue deserved this and so much more. I kind of wished I had enough money to move into a bigger house where there was a lawn, a fence, a room for when Blue and I decided to have kids.I dreamed of it, about having my own little family.I'd never thought this was possible in my wildest dreams, that I'd find a woman who'd love me enough to want to marry me.The phone in my pocket began buzzing. It was from an unknown number. I pressed to answer.

BlueIt was time.Time for me to finally take the marriage vows with Hunter.An hour ago when Adrian brought my brother, Apollo to into my room. I was shocked and I hadn't known what to say. We'd stared at each other for so long, I'd started to wonder if it was a dream.Without thinking I'd ran into his arms and sobbed into his chest.

I decided to compartmentalize any discouraging thoughts about college and concentrate on the bliss I was currently living in.I hadn't felt so fucking sated in like forever. It was like a missing piece of me had come back. I brushed a stray lock away from her ear and kissed her there.

Hunter The entire fucking night, Blue wouldn't let me touch her.Nope.My wife had made her life mission to slowly torture me to death. I'd tossed and turned for a few hours thinking about all the things I could have done to her, but I'd brought this situation onto myself and it killed me not knowing how long she was going to torture me like this, might as well stab me with a knife.I woke up to the sound of the shower turning on. I saw her chemise lying on the floor, and I instantly turned harder thinking of her and climbed out of bed. I decided to take my chances as I walked to the bathroom and tried the sliding doors but they wouldn't budge. The glass was fogged up with the steam and her delicate nude form was par

Hunter"Hello? Are you still with me? Or have you expired from shock?" I heard Hannah's voice but I couldn't understand what she was saying, all I could hear was FOUR FREAKIN MILLION DOLLARS."If this is some kind of joke, Hannah, I'll kill you," I warned her.She switched to video-call and I found myself staring at a blank white until I realized she'd been holding the lottery ticket on the screen. She slowly panned it out. "Do you read this?""It's a ticket I bought. That doesn't explain anything."She turned the ticket over and showed me a number. Two-nine-one-four-eight.
