By the time they arrived back in Rio two hours later, one thought kept repeating in Xavier’s mind. One thought over and over.‘Here,’ he said to her, covering her shoulders with his tuxedo jacket as they entered the lobby of his building. She threw him a grateful glance. Her red designer gown now hung askew on her body, the zipper broken from when he’d ripped the dress off her earlier.As they passed the security guards, Xavier glanced at them out of the corner of his eye. His white shirt was rumpled, the cuffs hanging open, his tie crumpled in the pocket of his trousers. Sylvia was looking at him breathlessly, her eyes luminescent, her makeup hopelessly smudged and her lips full and bruised.He saw the security guards nudge each other with a smirk, and he knew he and Sylvia had fooled no one. There could be no doubt what they had been doing.Normally he wouldn’t care if people knew he’d taken a woman as his lover. But this was different. This was Sylvia. And one thought kept going th

Sylvia woke up with a start to see the soft curl of a pink sunrise through the windows. She sat up in bed abruptly, the blanket falling from her naked chest. Had she heard her baby next door?She listened, and heard nothing except Xavier’s even, steady breathing beside her in the shadowy bedroom. Then she heard Robby’s voice again.‘Ma…ma…ma!’Quietly Sylvia rose from the bed and pulled a robe off the bathroom door hook. Leaving Xavier’s room, she went down the hall to her own, where she found her baby son sitting up in his crib. Whispering soft words of love, Sylvia took him in her arms. Holding him tenderly, she fed him, rocking him in the rocking chair. The baby, now yawning with a full belly, swiftly fell back to sleep.But Sylvia knew she would not.Putting him back in his crib, she went to the en-suite bathroom, closing the door silently behind her. She turned on the shower and dropped the robe to the floor. As the steam enveloped her body, she climbed into the marble shower. Sh

Two weeks later, Sylvia stared at herself blankly in the mirror.An elegantly dressed bride in a long, white lace veil and satin sheath gown stared back at her. It still didn’t feel right. She picked up her neatly bundled bouquet of white roses and looked back in the mirror.It was the morning of her wedding. In less than an hour she would have everything she’d barely dared to dream of—she’d be Mrs. Xavier Regulus. Robby would have his father.So where was the joy? She should have been ecstatic with bliss and hope. So why, looking at herself in this beautiful dress, standing in a suite of this beautiful rented mansion outside her village, did she feel so…empty?Xavier had wanted to marry her immediately, in Rio, but he’d quickly given in to Sylvia’s begging when she’d asked to have their wedding in New Hampshire, so her family could attend.‘We can get married in New Hampshire, of course we can, if that’s your wish,’ he’d told her. ‘But after the ceremony, we must live in Rio. Do you

Xavier had to hurry. Every second he wasted with Sylvia was like a grain of sand falling through a fatal hourglass. He had to leave at once.And yet he couldn’t.Leaving her felt like a death. He took a deep, shuddering breath. ‘This isn’t over,’ he said hoarsely. ‘I’ll be back after I close the deal in Rio.’‘Of course.’ Sylvia’s shoulders straightened, even as her lower lip trembled. ‘I will never stop you from seeing Robby. I hope…I hope you’ll see him often. He needs his father.’Xavier heard the music start to play downstairs and thought of the guests surrounded by white roses and candlelight, waiting for the wedding ceremony to begin. He clenched his hands, feeling that same strange spinning, sinking feeling in the region of his chest.‘Remember,’ he said tersely, looking at her. ‘This was your choice. I wanted to marry you.’She swallowed as tears streamed unchecked down her pale cheeks. ‘I’ll never forget that.’No, he thought suddenly. It couldn’t end like this. Not like this!

Sylvia hesitated outside the closed doors of the huge, flower-strewn library, frightened out of her mind.She could hear the rumble on the other side of door, the mutters and whispers. The wedding had been scheduled to start thirty minutes ago, and everyone was obviously starting to assume the worst.But there was no way around it. She had to get through it. With a deep breath, she pushed the doors open.The enormous two-story library had been modeled after an old English abbey with walls of gray stone. It was now festooned with white roses and candles, with hundreds of chairs set up to create an aisle down the middle.At the sight of the bride standing at the end of the aisle, musicians hastily began to play ‘Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring’ on guitars and violins. Sylvia stopped the music with a chopping gesture across her neck.Silence fell. She could have heard a pin drop as three hundred pairs of eyes turned to her.She trembled, passing a hand over her eyes. Then she heard her baby

SylviaIt was like a dream come true for me. My life was finally going the way I wanted. Everything was falling into place for me and I was married to a man that would change my life. I had been struggling to pay my bills for three months. I had incurred debts that tightened around my neck every day. But now, I was finally free from all of that. I no longer worked two jobs in Miami, scraping ice from the window of the broken-down car I jump-started every night. I was no longer yelled at by my bosses and co-workers. I’d just become a baroness, with the world at my manicured fingertips. I could afford the things I desired and I would become powerful. My husband’s name was Arnold Lincoln, a great baron in the country and a billionaire. He was wealthy and I didn’t have to lift my finger to work for the rest of my life. I cast a glance across the vast gilded ballroom of my new husband’s castle in northern California. I watched my husband as he interacted with his business partners

My heart beat increased when I heard the rustling of feet behind me. I was scared stiff. I wonder why I haven't passed out yet. With my hand by my side, I raised my gown. My legs were shaking, it was just a matter of minutes before it gave way. Slowly, I spun around with my dress sweeping across the garden. I didn't look at the owner of the voice immediately. It took a while before I raised my face. A man as dark as the shadow stood before me with his hand by his side. The night was dark so I couldn't see his face but I knew his eyes were fixed on me. I noticed he was standing beside three SUVS. His long black hair and coat shone in the moonlight as he stood beside a tree that was covered in frost. The more I stared at him, the more the bad feeling I felt in my heart increased. Goosebumps crept up on my skin and I felt completely uncomfortable. Even in the darkness, I could still feel his eyes piercing mine with intensity and I blinked rapidly. Although I was nervous, I was

I squirmed because of the pain I felt but the man was unperturbed. I understand he was strong but it was unwise of him to think the same about me. I was a weakling! I looked towards the castle but there was no sign of life heading from there. The party was still going on despite my absence. I felt upset at the discovery. For crying out loud, I was the bride and the most important person in the wedding. I wonder what my parents and my family are doing right now. I thought about Arnold too. I guess he had been so carried away speaking with his business associates that he forgot all about me. I wished I allowed my mom to come along when she asked earlier. If I did, I was sure I wouldn't be in this mess. The cool night breeze had become icy. It lifted my veil above my head then swirled it around both of us in the dark frozen night. I could feel the power and hostility emanating from his strong body. And for a brief moment, I was lost in a nightmare of ice, fire, and desire. But
