Chapter 11

Allison The stylist was still working on my makeup when I heard Christopher's voice from the living room.I didn't expect him to come pick me up himself."Don't move," The stylist scolded me in his thick Italian accent, titling my chin back toward the mirror.I had almost forgotten that he was still working on my face."You'll have your man all to yourself tonight. A little control for now won't hurt." He winked before moving to stand behind me.Man?I'm sorry, did he just refer to Christopher as my man?"Gross." I muttered under my breath, irritated that in a few weeks, the whole world would see him as my man.I had never felt so disgusted in my entire life."Did you say something?" His eyes shone with curiosity."No, ignore it." I smiled at him, hoping he really hadn't heard me.He adjusted a final curl and pinned it perfectly into place.Dramatically, he stepped back to adore his work, "Magnifica!"Indeed, his work was magnificent.I could barely recognize myself.Gone was the ord

CHAPTER 13

Christopher The shocked look on Allison's face made me even more curious about her interest in my cousin.I could tell that she hadn't just seen him tonight and admired him.She had met him before tonight."The contract mentioned that I was allowed to be with whoever I wanted." I remembered her words from the day we met.When she mentioned being with whoever she wanted to be with, was she referring to Matthieu?I tightened my hold on her and pulled her even closer,"Matthieu, this is my girlfriend, Allison." Summoning his charm, Matthieu replicated Charles' annoying bow, placing one hand over his chest while holding out the other one for Allison.Beaming, she placed her hand in his.Of course, even Allison could not resist Matthieu.He always had that effect on women, every woman- even old women."It's an honor to meet you tonight, Mademoiselle." He brought her hand to his lips while maintaining eye contact with her.Before his lips would touch her hand, I yanked it away from him.
