“Getting married to Tristan? Is she insane? I told her not to do this. For fuck’s sake, she really is a nightmare.”

I shook my head, shrugging, but before I had a chance to speak, he continued.

“And you, what the fuck are you about taking girls from Robert? And not only that, he told me you threatened to go after your father. What the fuck is going on, Aiden? Why is Rick involved in this shit?”

John gave me a significant look before he walked away, leaving me alone with Chuck. I’d known this was going to be a messy evening.

“I don’t think you need to worry about Rick or the girls.”

“And why the fuck not?”

“Your niece isn’t going to marry Tristan.”

“What?”

“Technically if she did, she’d be committing bigamy.”

Chuck stared at me, his expression showing his complete bewilderment.

“Bigamy? What the fuck are you talking about?”

I gave him my brightest smile.

“Well, you see, Chuck. Avery is married to me.”
