I smiled back, trying to keep the nervousness out of my expression.

“I look forward to it.”

He released my hand, turned and left without a backwards glance.

And I knew I was in deep shit.

Whatever Frazier had up his sleeve, I wasn’t privy to it. I knew he wanted my money, but everything else was a mystery to me. For now, I had what I wanted, but at what cost? What had I really signed myself up for?

I could only hope marriage to Aiden would keep me from whatever it was Frazier had planned for me. Because if it didn’t. I wasn’t entirely sure if I’d ever recover from it. Knowing Frazier. It wouldn’t be anything good.

I needed this to work.

Needed it desperately

My future with Aiden depended on it.

And the thought of it all falling apart around me chilled me to my very core.
