Alexia’s POV What could Ethan’s mother possibly want from me? the woman hates my guts and now she is forcing me to meet her visitor. This can’t be good; I am finding it hard to shake off the feeling that she has ulterior motives. “So, you mean my mother-in-law instructed you to bring me home to meet her guest?” I ask him needing more confirmation because it all sounds like a prank. “yes,” he replies and even adds a brief nod. I don’t think I like my odds one bit. “Okay then” I reply. I keep quiet since there was nothing else to add to the conversation We continue to drive to the mansion my mind a tornado of thoughts, trying to figure out what Mrs. Blackwood could want from me. I know she doesn’t miss me; she doesn’t even consider you her daughter-in-law. My brain tells me even though I already know that. I think hard trying to remember anything about a visitor coming to the mansion but my memory fails me. Once we arrive at the mansion, I take slow calculated steps into the hou

Alexia’s POV“What are you talking about?” I ask him deciding playing dumb is the best way to go.“You know what I mean but I’ll cut you some slack because we are here” That’s when I look up and see where we are. We are at an amusement park.“Isn’t it locked or something? I mean it’s late already and they have closing hours” I ask worried if we would even be allowed in.“Well, you should start to know dear wife that I have my ways” he teases then gets out of the car before I get the chance, he opens my door for me and stretches his hand out which I take.“Oh really? That’s convenient” I laugh. He leads me through a passage I am not familiar with. I mean of course I know this place but I have always followed the front door. My blood rushes with adrenaline. I feel like we shouldn’t be sneaking into this place but here I am with my fake husband following a secret passageway into an amusement park.“So how did you find out about this secret passage?” I ask, wanting to find out more.“I to

Alexia’s POV We get to the twin’s school a little after 11:30 and I know they are already halfway through the program but I still rush into the auditorium I manage to find a seat at the back. The event happens in a blur but I manage to spot my boys at the front with the other graduating students. Pride swells in my chest, I mean they grow up so fast. Just a few years ago I was so scared not knowing how we would survive without our parents around but by some miracle we pulled through together. Even though things didn’t turn out the way I thought it would be for example I am married to someone I barely know and because of said husband and his dramatic family I couldn’t stay with my brothers as promised. As soon as the event ends, I rush towards my brothers and give both of them a big hug. They look so mature in their gowns and everything I couldn’t hold the emotion back. “Stop you are embarrassing us” Austin says and laughs but Aiden doesn’t laugh. He seems upset, I guess I deserve i

Alexia’s POVThe drive home was fun, I don’t know how to explain it but it felt like a weight had been lifted after Ethan told me nothing happened between him and Melinda. I know I’m not meant to care about whatever he does with his life but the truth is I would rather he sleeps with an entire football field than Melinda. Call me petty but that is just how it is. After that whole hitch was settled, I genuinely felt lighter, like maybe this whole marriage arrangement with Ethan wouldn’t be so bad after all I started to feel genuinely happy about being married to him and I am starting to have faith that these three years will work out just fine.We get home and as soon as we try to go upstairs a voice booms “where on earth have you two been?” we turn around at the same time to see his mother standing crossed armed looking like she is about to devour both of us.“We just needed some time away mother” Ethan replies, I don’t think I have the confidence to say anything after the way I left

Alexia's POVI swear Ethan is trying to get us killed! There is nothing anyone can tell me otherwise. if getting us killed isn't his intention, then why would he be driving on a speed limit of 137 km/hour!!. I thought, worriedly clutching my seat all through the drive to my brother's house. As soon as he parked at the front of our house and turned off the ignition, I leaned back on my seat, closed my eyes for a minute and exhaled in relief.Ethan shoots me an amused look, like he doesn't know he just almost gave me a heart attack. “Hope you enjoyed the ride?”“Enjoyed or dreaded? That was the most scary moment of my life”“Oh stop being such a baby” He teased.“I'm not being a baby, I'm just trying to apply exercise precaution, on that note, I think I will just stick with Jeff driving me from now on”“Ouch, are you saying you are choosing Jeff over me, your husband?What happened to being faithful and loyal to your handsome loving husband?”He gasped dramatically.“Oh be serious please”
