LindseyWe step out of the car and Angie helps me adjust my dress and make sure everything is picture perfect. She looks amazing in her off the shoulder cranberry colored dress. I think everything fits her perfectly without trying. The sheer material falling off her shoulders highlights her ivory skin and her raven hair is pulled into a loose messy bun behind her right ear. Her make-up is simple, similar to mine.She gives me a tight hug and then we both start following Brandon around the side of the building down a cobbled pathway and through two more vine covered archways to a garden with high vine and flower covered walls making the space feel intimate and private.At the opposite end of the garden I see Reece’s massive form filling out a tux jacket to almost breaking point. His head is down and his hands are in his pockets. He looks lost in thought.I don’t even hesitate or wait to be told to move. Everything in me wants to be near him, like that is where I belong and this is far t

Reece“ARE YOU F**KING KIDDING ME REECE?! What were you thinking, marrying that child without my consent?” My grandfather is raging after the girls left. “Do you realize what you have done to this family? You have ruined us all now, all of our plans have been f**ked in a matter of stupid hormonal moments from you. You have never been this impulsive before, you have to leave now, while she is being distracted. We will get this annulled and you can complete your union with Dominique like you were supposed to. I will make your excuses to the family. Just go now.” He sits down and rubs his hands over his face as if I am the one being unreasonable. I just let him yell and get it out, my rage growing as he insults Lindsey. I finally break when he just assumes I am going to leave her, just because he said so.“You had better start explaining yourself old man. You have exactly five minutes to tell me what your real issue is.” I growl out and cross my arms over my chest, Max matching my moveme

LindseyI can tell whatever was said after Angie and I left Reece and the guys really affected him. He hasn’t put me down since he carried me down the aisle. He said he would tell me later and we haven’t had a moment without other people around the whole day, but something feels off, like he’s keeping me close out of fear.I have to take a deep breath and trust him. He hasn’t lied to me yet, I just hope he won’t keep whatever this is from me thinking he is protecting me. He settles in a chair sitting me sideways across his lap wrapping both arms around me. I snuggle into his chest, and rest my head on his shoulder, letting his body heat calm me down. Brandon brings us both water and I am so thankful. I don’t know if I could start drinking anything right now.“Well, my lovelies, and Bossman, after that very interesting ceremony are you ready for the rest of the wolves?” Brandon laughs and I try to smile, but I can’t even force it. I don’t know if I can handle any more bulls**t today fro

LindseyWe got to our hotel in record time. Reece ushers me straight to the very large bathroom and lifts me on to the sink to inspect my arm. He looks terrified, like it wasn’t just a little bit of glass. For some reason this tantrum of Dominique’s has affected him more than anything else she has tried so far.“It doesn’t look like there is any glass in your arm. I’m so sorry about that, I should have been able to protect you better.” He gently caresses my face, looking almost broken.“I already told you, don’t do that. She is a leech that will not go away easily. We’ll figure something out, but this isn’t your fault, it’s hers. Now, help me out of this dress before I get blood all over it. I think there might be some pieces of glass stuck in here.” I gesture toward my cleavage and give him my best flirtatious look trying to distract him. Thank God it works. I watch his eyes dilate as they roam from my face and down my neck.I slowly work my shoulder straps down exposing my breasts. M

ReeceI roll over and stretch, reaching for Lindsey, hoping to get a little more sleep before we leave for our honeymoon. As I reach around the bed, though, I can't find her. I shoot up, my grandfather’s words ringing in my head. I frantically look around the room and find her sleeping at the dining table with the tabloids and magazines scattered everywhere.I look at her face and it is clear she has been crying. The tabloid under her cheek explains why. Dominique has been cornering me as often as possible for a month now. Showing up everywhere I go. Even Brandon can’t find the leak in our operation. I think it is my grandfather, but we have kept things from him as well, so I know it’s not only him or he has several people reporting to him.The tabloid under her face is a picture of me and Dominique the day before I met Lindsey. My grandfather talked me into having dinner with Dominique and she got sloppy drunk and was hanging all over me. Of course her picture-hungry mongrels caught

LindseyOn the way home from the hotel I am still super pissed. I sat as far away from him as I possibly could. I wasn’t sure what I wanted, but space is something I needed to sort out my thoughts. I was glad he let me go to the room to change by myself. He at least understood that I would put up a good front out in public, but our fight hasn’t even begun. With everything I overheard, both of our companies would suffer if we didn’t get this situation figured out. We could deal with Fabian easily, but the mess with his grandfather was going to be far more complicated and Max said I would be needed to help make it right. I am not going to let the innocent people who rely on us for their livelihood suffer because of the greedy people in the mix. That is my only motivation right now for being helpful. Max said I am needed. And so far, he and James are the only people who haven’t lied to me or kept things from me, so my loyalty is with them right now.While I dress, I chose something that

LindseyI have Anton escort Fabian downstairs and out the front door with strict instructions to company security that he is not allowed to enter without an appointment and prior approval from Reece or myself.I have a feeling I know where he is going to go with his complaints about us and we need to get ready for that, but first the bimbo trio needs to be dealt with. I grab Angie and tell Reece to take her place sorting with Anton. He looks hurt, but I am not explaining myself. Yes, he deserves to be punished, but I also want him nowhere near these three if I can help it. Angie is even crazier than I am and the two of us together should get our point across.“How dare you make us wait this long, Mr. Raines will be hearing about this.” Brittany jumps up from her chair using her best superior tone.“Sit down.” Angie snaps at her.“You stupid gold digger, you have no authority here. Mr. Raines will have you out on your a** faster than you can blink, so live it up while it lasts.” Brittan

LindseyThe drive to the marina was pleasant. Reece kept pulling me close, kissing me, running his hands all over me, but as soon as I started to reciprocate he would stop and give me time to cool down. This was his version of punishment for me being angry with him and keeping me at a distance all day. It wasn’t fair. I was so wound up by the time we were able to get out of the car, I didn’t know if I wanted to punch him or f**k him more.As soon as the car was in park, I jumped out of my side and started slowly walking down the docks. I had no idea where I was going, but I didn’t want to be in Reece’s proximity yet. I know he thinks this is funny, but my stubbornness wants him to apologize for keeping me in the dark. He needs to be truly sorry, not just saying the words to get in my pants.I made it all the way to the end of the dock and just looked out over the water. I’m sure Reece was just letting me wander and waiting for me to turn around and ask for his help. Well, hell will fre

Angie“Wait! What do you mean the police have been by? How long have I been out of it?” I look between Brandon and Anton. I couldn’t have been sitting here more than ten minutes.“You have been lost in your own thoughts for about two hours now.” Brandon looks at me with a softness in his eyes.“Have you both been inside?” I look between the two of them again.“Yeah. I walked through with the police. It seems like whoever was here was looking for something specific. My guess is probably something to do with your connection with Lindsey and finding out more about her life before Reece.” Anton tells me.“You are both coming to my place tonight. There is no way I am leaving you, either of you, up for grabs for something else to happen. Someone has already been sent to your place Anton to check it out as well. You are both moving into my building. We have too much to lose and you both are very important.“I just don’t understand. If they want information, why break in and trash my place? Wh
