“Happy anniversary, bab—” Marie stopped halfway into her husband's study, an eight-inch cake in her hand, her eyes wide.Ronan was naked in his chair, facing the window. One hand on his dick, the other holding a picture.“Tiffany,” he moaned, jerking himself even faster, oblivious to her presence.She saw the picture; a woman in a pink bikini. Tiffany, his secretary, the woman Marie had always suspected.Tears immediately burned Marie's eyes as she froze, unable to move. His moans grew louder, his hand moved faster. His posture changed, he mumbled, throwing his head back.There, she knew he was about to come.The fear of being caught surged into her and she backed away quickly and quietly, returning to the kitchen. She placed the cake down and gripped the counter, her knees buckling as she let the tears drop.“On our… anniversary…” she whispered, her voice cracking.It had been two years of marriage, two years of her trying to reach him, to understand him, to love him.In all that t

“Hey my love,” Paige opened the door, holding a tray of chicken soup.Marie knew what it was because she could smell it. She sat upright, clutching her mother's gown.“It's hot,” Paige said, setting the tray on the bedside table. “You good?”“Yes,” Marie responded with a small nod, but she was far from good.It had been ten weeks, ten weeks of being a single woman, ten weeks of returning to her parents' house, yet she still didn't have the strength to face life.Nothing felt right.“I have something to tell you,” Paige said, perching on the bed.Her brow creased. “What?” “Eat first,” Paige smiled.Marie's stomach dropped. “Paige… just tell me.”“It's nothing serious, I promise.”She eyed her elder sister suspiciously, before picking up the tray. The smell alone made her stomach tighten with hunger.When she was done, she faced Paige.“So?”Paige hesitated briefly, then sighed. “I think… it’s time you went back to work.”Marie immediately shook her head. “Absolutely not. I’m not ready

Bruce had no idea what was going on but he enjoyed it somehow.It was her.The redhead from last night. She had disappeared from his bed without a word and was now in his grandmother's estate.“How did that even happen?” Ronan roared, his eyes blazing.Confusion swirled inside Bruce but he said nothing. The rage in Ronan’s eyes did excite him a little.“That's none of your business,” the redhead said, tightening her grip around Bruce's arm.Despite how steady her tone was, her hands were shaky.He remained silent, letting her take control of whatever this was.Ronan took a step forward but the woman beside him quickly held him back.“Let's go,” she said softly. “Your mother is waiting.”Bruce watched as Ronan’s eyes lingered on the redhead before he eventually left.Once they walked away, the redhead exhaled.“Gosh! That was… insane,” she muttered, forcing a tight smile. “Thank you.”Bruce raised a brow. “What was that about?”Her lips twitched. “Well, you don't have to be so rude. I

A brief silence filled the room, but Sam got up first.“Are you sure?” he asked carefully, his brow raised. “Once it's done, it—”“Yes,” Marie interrupted him, her eyes darting around until they landed on Ronan.Sam straightened up. “I’ll ask you one—”“You heard her,” Ronan interjected, moving closer. “She said she forfeits it.”Marie’s heart pounded violently in her chest as Sam nodded and reached for his tablet.It was done.Glinda approached her, and for the first time ever, she smiled genuinely.“Oh, Marie,” she said warmly, taking her hand.Heat crept up Marie’s cheeks.“You’re the best,” Glinda added, her smile widening.Marie’s eyes instinctively searched the room for Tiffany, but she wasn't there.A weird longing stirred in her chest. She wanted Tiffany to see this, to hear it, to understand that she would always be the one who got that man.Glinda pulled her into a hug and she froze. Was this real? Were the Hills finally accepting her? Delight coursed through her and her bl

One mistake.One small mistake and her life had changed.Marie stared at the contract papers. That was it, it was done. She was officially a wife again, except to the wrong man, to the wrong brother.“Here,” she said, handing Bruce the papers back.He looked at her, his eyes widening slightly as their fingers brushed. This was all wrong, she knew he felt it too, but it was too late.“So…” Bruce cleared his throat. “It's official.”“It's official,” she repeated. The words felt unreal.They sat in silence for a while until Bruce stood.“I'll be right back.”She watched as he walked away, his shoulder tensed. Once she was alone, she buried her face in her palm.“Oh, what have you done?” she muttered, her pulse racing.The day had started horribly and somehow it had gotten worse. A second marriage, she thought, except it was a complete opposite of her first.At least she had loved Ronan, even though it wasn't mutual.Her phone rang and she almost jumped from the couch. She reached for it
