Meadow’s POV:

My heart was beating so loud, I could barely hear myself think.

His thumb brushed lightly over my knuckles, grazing the rock that sat pretty on my ring finger. I squirmed under him again, hating the way my heart responded to his touch. Hating how badly I wanted to close the distance between us and say yes, like some desperate, touch-starved idiot.

Not that I was that far off.

“I…can’t,” I breathed, my voice barely above a whisper.

Be his wife?

Alaric made it sound like a simple choice. Like all I had to do was say yes and he’d give me the world. But I didn’t want the world.

I just wanted to feel normal again. To not be someone whose entire life had just blown up in her face.

“Why do you even want me?” I pushed at his chest. “You say you want me to be yours, but what do you really stand to gain from this?”

His eyes didn’t flinch. “Nothing.”

My breath caught for the umpteenth time today.

That was all it kept doing. This man was making it difficult for me to breathe.

    Meadow’s POV: My brows drew together in confusion as I froze.“What?”The expression on Ingrid’s face was the complete opposite of what I’d seen when she was talking to me and Alaric. The smile had been replaced with a sneer, the soft touch replaced with a hard grip around my wrist.“You heard me…Meadow, is it?” She scoffed. “How much did my son pay you to marry him?” Her gaze dropped to my wrist. “And how much extra did he pay you to come here and pretend like he can feel your touch?”My nostrils flared and I snatched my wrist out of her grip. I suppose I read her welcoming attitude wrongly. She didn’t like me, and she’d been waiting to single me out without Alaric present.And clearly, she suspected that our marriage was a sham—which it was. But no one except for Alaric and I was supposed to know that. “Ingrid, I don’t…”She let out a mocking laugh, her blue eyes flashing with something I couldn’t understand.“I may be oblivious to certain things, Meadow, but I am not stupid.” T

    Meadow’s POV: The moment I saw Alaric’s mother, it automatically made sense that her sons were so damn attractive.Ingrid Ashford was the epitome of elegance and beauty. Her blond hair was pulled back into a bun—something told me she hardly ever let it fall—her eyes a striking blue color that looked exactly like Nolan’s.She glided toward us in a blue dress that went all the way down, her cheekbones high as she smiled at a few guests. All of a sudden, I forgot how to breathe.Alaric must’ve somehow noticed how tense I was, because his arm came to rest on my lower back and he pulled me closer to him.“Relax, baby,” he murmured into my ear, sending a fresh wave of chill down my spine.“I can’t,” I said through gritted teeth. “You didn’t tell me she was this… intimidating.”How could I relax? The woman hadn’t even gotten to us yet and I could already feel her presence. Could already feel how important she was, both to her sons and the party guests.Alaric didn’t respond, and for a seco

    Meadow’s POV:The soft, rich sound of classical music greeted us as we stepped into the large ballroom. The outside was massive and spacious, but the inside…Looked like a fucking dream.Glass chandeliers hung from the ceiling, the floor was polished, and the crowd of people in the room was intimidating in a way, as if you weren’t rich or extra-rich, you couldn’t belong here.I didn’t exactly belong, but I wasn’t a stranger to luxury. After all, I was raised in it.“Wow…” I whispered in wonder as I watched the waiters dressed in black and white weave through the crowd with trays containing wine, champagne—all kinds of alcohol.“Yeah,” Alaric chuckled, looking down at me. “My mother usually goes all out. Doesn’t do… mediocre.”I tightened my grip around his arm even though I knew he couldn’t feel it. “Yeah, I can see that.”Well, obviously it wasn’t just Alaric who was popular. His mother seemed to have a truckload of elegant friends.Who were now looking at me?I shifted on my feet as

    Meadow’s POV: ‘Make sure they have her contained.’There was no way Alaric was referring to someone else when he said that. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but when I walked into the garage and he didn’t notice me because he was on the phone, I just stood there. And I caught the end of a very important conversation.He was talking about Juniper—with Trip, no doubt.‘We’ll discuss what to do with her’? What the hell did that mean?What were they doing to her?I forced my expression to be neutral.“West isn’t driving us there?” I asked. I looked around, spotting the SUV West usually drove, my eyes widening at the number of cars in this garage.I didn’t know much about cars, but I knew what luxury vehicles looked like—and these were examples of them.“No,” he replied simply. “Is it a crime to want to be alone with you?”I forced a smile, looking away.I wanted to ask Alaric about the part of the phone call that I’d heard, but when I opened my mouth, something else came out. “I’m ready.” An

    Alaric’s POV:The dress clung to her body like it was made for her—which it was. And I had to force my gaze away from that perfectly rounded ass before Camilla would notice that I was ogling my own wife.I braced myself for what I would see when Meadow turned, but I was still taken aback. The breath was knocked out of my lungs.Just one word came to mind.“Wunderschön,” I whispered under my breath. I wasn’t sure she’d heard me, but even if she had, she wouldn’t understand what it meant. ‘Beautiful.’“Hey, Ric,” Camilla greeted, fighting a smug smile.The little devil. She must’ve heard. Camilla had been taking German lessons since she was a junior, because apparently, it seemed interesting to her.Or maybe she just wanted in on the gossip whenever she was around my brother and I.“Camilla,” I muttered, my gaze narrowing at her. “Did you do this?”“Hell, yeah,” she answered, walking over to the vanity to pack the stuff she must’ve come with. “Didn’t see you hiring someone else so my mo

    Meadow’s POV: I chose the third dress.Not the silk that I wore when Alaric fingered me. Not the velvet dress I wore when I rode his thigh to my orgasm. But the champagne-gold sequin dress that we didn’t do anything in.It was a deliberate act of defiance I was pulling. But I had no other choice.The night he had to leave for work—which I was almost fully certain that it wasn’t—he didn’t get back until way later.I knew that because I stayed awake for hours until I just wasn’t able to and fell asleep. And then for the next two days, I was practically non-existent.It wasn’t so bad, though. I’d finally decided to register for online classes and had basically just been trying to prepare myself and my mind for when I’d start next month.And asides that, I’d also been researching facilities that my sister could’ve possibly been in.And for a moment, I thought I found one.I’d ordered an uber and found my way to the location, but the moment I got there, I knew that wasn’t it. And when I w
