Fuming, I strode to the door and tried to open it. But his pair of strong arms snaked around my midriff and hauled me to the middle of the cabin.A shriek left my mouth. "What the hell, Valencian! Leave me right now!""I will. Once you hear everything I've to say."His calm tone made me boil. I didn't let him explain things, so he would literally keep me captive in his cabin, in his arms? I can't believe this man!"No! I won't hear anything! You'll do what I want, and then let me go!" I said, putting on the scariest face I could manage on my face with a stern voice.But he ignored me. Because he was too busy roaming his grey eyes across my every single feature. As if he hadn't seen me for years. Not tolerating being disregarded like that, I stepped on his feet. With my five inches heel.A hiss left his mouth, his filled with adoration orbs now watched me in sh

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!An equal owner of everything he owned? That's ridiculous! Why the hell would he do that?Only Achilles insane Valencian would be able to answer that.With eyes formed into a scowl, lips pressed into displeasure and rage running hot through my veins, I stormed into his cabin. Well, I wasn't required to knock.His eyes snapped up from his mobile. Standing in the middle of his cabin, his features matched my emotions right now. He was glaring holes at his phone.I knew what ran into his head. Of course he would be mad if I wouldn't receive his non-stop calls and messages. My phone stopped vibrating as he cut the call."Where the hell were you?" Throwing the phone on his desk, he fired."And what the hell did you do?" I countered back, glaring at him.The place between his thick brows crinkled. "What did I do? Shouldn't I be aski

"I didn't know you were so eager to ruin your sister's rehearsal dinner. Inviting your ex and present lover at the same time? And when the lover is a fiercely possessive one," Casie tasked, glancing behind me.My heart skipped a beat. Swirling around, I found Warner strolling in the backyard. Noticing him, Tess and Caleb walked up to him, giving him welcoming hugs. Sighing, I turned back. "What's with the sullen face?" she asked, the side of her lips tugged up into a devilish smirk. "Expected someone else?"Glaring at her, I took a sip on my lemonade. It's been an hour we'd arrived at Tess' rehearsal dinner at Valencian Mansion. A BBQ party was held in the vast backyard of the mansion before the dinner. The trees were lit with fairy lights and a small bonfire was set in the middle. While Mom, Dad and some of our uncles and aunts sat around the fire to keep themselves warm

Running my palm over the smooth fabric one more time, I took a deep breath and opened the door. With every step down the stairs the ends of my gown flared more, providing a feel of a princess ascending down the staircase towards the prince charming of hers.But for me, my annoying best friend stood down, not even looking at me. She was too busy applying her dark red lipstick holding a small mirror before her dolled up face. The light blue mermaid gown with her blonde curls resting over her shoulders looked stunning on her. Hearing me approaching, her eyes looked up to me. And her jaw dropped."Holy shit!" She glanced up and down my whole structure. "This is the first time I'm feeling ashamed to be straight as a stick. Damn! Achilles is a lucky ass!"I laughed. "Look who's talking. See yourself in the mirror first."She shrugged. "I just did. Thanks for the not direct compliment thoug

My smile slipped, eyes widened. Antonio Reymond? So that's why he seemed to be so familiar. I'd seen him on the TV that day, but couldn't see his face properly because he had his hand covering his face from the cameras.But wasn't he in jail? What the hell was he doing here now? And after all he did to Caleb. The nerve of this man!My jaw clenched. "What are you doing here? As far as I know you're not invited to this wedding."Did Ace know of his presence here? If he did, he wouldn't be still parading out here like this.He placed his hand on his heart. "Oops! I wasn't expecting that coming. You hurt me, Ms. Hutton. I didn't know you behaved that way with your guests.""I do, with uninvited guests." A humourless chuckle left him. "Feisty, huh?""What's happening here?" The blonde asked, confusion
