Her heart.

And I would not rest till I had them all. But first, my sweet wife needed to be taught a lesson.

“Get on your knees,” I growled.

“W-what?”

“You’re gonna get on your knees like a good wife, and you’re gonna suck my cock for thinking those thoughts. Got it?”

I waited for it. The blow up that I figured was coming.

Waited for her to tell me to go fuck myself.

To slap me.

Or something.

But instead, my dirty little wife shocked me. She licked her pouty lips, and she swallowed nothing.

Then she got on her fucking knees.

“Good girl.”

Chapter 19-Michaela

Thanksgiving without my family was difficult.

I was used to robust gatherings, filled to the brim with people I was raised with. People who I knew loved me, who I loved in return.

But after the blowup with Dad, I couldn’t bring myself to attend. It felt awful, and strange, but I had to stand firm on this.

That my own father could believe me so weak as to be tricked by a man, I mean, that just stung.

Mom called and cried on the phone, but in the end, she understood my position.

“I just wish you and Dad would make up. He’s so hurt, Micky,” she said.

“I’m hurt too, Mom. He thinks I’m an idiot. Just some dumb kid Liam tricked into marrying him.”

“Can’t you just come for dinner?”

“Sorry, we have plans,” I lied.

“Well, you’re coming to Christmas Michaela, if I have to drag you here.”

“Okay, Mom,” I snorted a laugh, trying to hide the fact I was crying.

I hated that some of what she said was actually true.

But Liam hadn’t tricked me. I went into this thing with my eyes open. No, we were not a love match. He didn’t feel that way about me.

But he seemed different lately. He was attentive and sweet. The last few days, we stayed home, going over our partnership deal and making plans.

He had new offices over in Jersey, and staff still coming in from all over. Boston, Manhattan, some from his old college, and even China.

We went over a lot of paperwork, the model for his nano battery and how I could help by managing the computer engineering team for other applications.

I had ideas for who I wanted for certain positions, people I graduated with. Liam asked questions, but he was supportive, encouraging me to send out inquiries.
