LOGINDamon's POVI swear I'm going to kill Mike. I do not know what he has against Claire. If he loved her, would he really spoil her day like this? He knows how she feels about her parents. Why did he allow them to come to her wedding day? It is not the actions of a man who loves a woman. It is the action of a jealous man who thinks that the woman belongs to him and that nobody should have her but him. I am furious. "Take them away. Ensure that they do not come close to us again," I say. Sienna, who was laughing at first, looks very furious as well. She storms away. I know she is on her way to Mike's house, and Mike is going to get it from her because she wants to know why he is so worried about Claire. It seems like Sienna does not know who she wants. Perhaps she just realized that the only man that she is going to get is Mike. Obviously, Jake does not want her. My men take the two drunks away. "I am sorry, baby. I did not know that Mike would release them from jail. I should have kno
Claire's POVFor the first time in my life, I believe that Damon is serious about me after hearing his vows. I still had doubts in my heart, but after hearing how much he loves me, I know that he does love me. No man can write such a beautiful vow if he does not love the woman he is standing in front of the altar with. I love Damon with everything inside of me. I know that we belong together, and I know that we are going to be happy. I am glad that the ceremony went past without any drama, but I do not expect it to last. I know there is going to be some drama at the reception. I am surprised that Mike and his father did not show up. Normally, they do not care if they are invited somewhere or not.I know why Sienna did not invite Mike to come with her because she was hoping that Jake would give her some attention. But by the looks of it, Jake is not giving her any attention. We walk out of the little chapel, and we go to take some wedding photos. I want beautiful wedding photos I can s
Damon's POVI walk away from my niece, Melanie, and Jake with a smile, knowing Sienna will never trust Melanie again and will make her life a living hell in this town. I know she will kick Melanie out of the house. I do not know where Melanie will go. I go to the little Chapel and wait for my bride to arrive. I hope nobody got to her, and I hope that someone did not convince her not to marry me. I know my father. He will offer her a lot of money. However, I know Claire will arrive. I know that she will not leave me in front of the altar. Besides, we are already married. I walk into the Chapel, where most of the townspeople have gathered. Nobody wants to miss this wedding. I do not have a best man. I do not have friends. I do not trust people enough to make them my friends. I have learned the hard way that you cannot trust anyone. However, I have also learnt over the last few weeks that there is one person whom I can trust. I can't trust Claire. She is my best friend, my lover, and th
Sienna's POVI knew there was a reason why I did not like Melanie. That bloody bitch ran off with my aunt. She pretended to be my friend. In the meantime, she ran off with the man that I loved. I remember when I came from school that day, and I was upset because Jake turned me down. She was the one who set me down and talked to me as if she cared. I told her everything, how much she had laughed behind my back, knowing that she had an affair with the guy I loved. I turn to Jake. I cannot believe this."You ran off with my aunt? I knew you had an older lover, but I never knew that you ran off with my aunt. How could you do that? You knew that I loved you. You knew that I was the one who was always by your side. Why did you pick my aunt? Didn't you know it would hurt my uncle? Didn't you know that it would hurt him so much that he is now marrying the woman that you always claimed to love? I hope you know how it feels," I say."Sienna, I never had any feelings for you. I am sorry that you
Damon's POVI am ready for any trouble my family or Melanie and Jake want to make. There are guards everywhere. The first one who makes trouble for us is out of this wedding. Claire's mother and father have not been invited. However, I am not surprised when somebody calls me and tells me that they have arrived. They want to see me. I am not happy about it. I do not want to see them, but I know if I don't see them, they will go and bother Claire. She will arrive soon in my limousine. Everybody in town is there except the doctor, and a few other people who are not invited, like the Green family. I do not know if Sienna brought Mike with her, but if she did, she can live with him. However, I have a feeling that she did not invite him to come with her. She knows that Jake will be at the wedding, and she will be happy that he can see me marrying Claire."What do you want? I cannot remember that I have invited you to my wedding," I say to Jordan Johnson and his wife, Maureen. "You are marr
Claire's POV Today is my wedding day. I would have looked forward to it if I were not worried that Sienna, her grandfather, Jake, and Melanie would not make trouble. I am getting ready in the apartment, and Damon is getting ready at the hotel, when there is a knock on the door of the apartment. The ladies who are doing my hair and makeup are still busy doing it when Sienna walks in with her grandfather. They ask the ladies to leave because they want to talk to me alone. "Okay. Let's get to the point. We are not going to waste your time, and we do not want you to waste ours. How much do you want?" Hank Winters asks."Excuse me? What do you mean by how much do I want?" I ask. "Don't keep yourself stupid. We both know that you want money, and that is why you are marrying Damon. We can always get the marriage annulled. How much do you want to leave this town and Damon?" Hank asks. "I do not want to leave the town or Damon. We have a prenup. I am not getting any of his money on the day
Damon’s POVThe moment I see her standing in the doorway, my chest tightens, a familiar tension winding like a coiled spring through my shoulders, a heaviness I thought I’d left behind long ago. Mona. She is here. She has the nerve to show up in my office, in my building, in my small, carefully con
Claire’s POVSunlight filters through the blinds, scattering golden lines across Damon’s chest. I blink against it, my body heavy and warm beneath the sheets, tangled with his. His arm drapes possessively over my waist, pulling me closer even as he stirs from sleep. The scent of him, faintly citrus
Damon’s POVI leave the Whitfield estate behind, the heavy doors closing like a verdict. Sienna’s furious hiss echoes in my mind even as I descend the driveway, the gravel crunching under my shoes in rhythm with my heartbeat. My father’s words linger too, warnings, reminders, the weight of an empir
Sienna’s POVThe door to the study slams shut with a weight that reverberates through my chest. My grandfather’s command had been clear: leave. Walk away. Disappear. But I don’t. I can’t. Because I have heard every word they exchanged, every infuriating syllable that dares to humiliate me in my fa
