Chapter 16

I felt a rush of heat throughout my body, and then I immediately leaned back to pull away from the kiss.

It was very quiet in my head. What just happened?

He kissed me!

“What's wrong?” He asked softly before planting another kiss on my collar bone.

I'm no slut,

Laura is expecting his child.

Let's not even talk about Robert.

“Uhm, I'm just tired.” I lied.

He tried to move closer, but I placed my palm on his chest and stopped him.

He raised a brow. “You said we agreed to wait until after marriage before consummating our relationship, which I doubt I agreed to. What's happening now?” He seemed angry.

“I need some time to process everything that's been happening…” I stuttered.

“Sure, you do.” He scoffed. “Don't you think that should be my line, though? I found myself married to a woman that I don't remember, nor do I understand.”

“We're in the same boat, remember? I feel like I married a stranger too. After all, you hid your…”

“My wealth?” He snapped, cutting me off.
