She dragged Wesley behind her as they
raced outside, just in time to see Abigail
hopping into a car, still in her wedding
dress. A tall, handsome man was holding
the door for her, looking like he owned the
place.
The car took off before they could catch up.
Jane was throwing a fit while Wesley just
stood there looking confused.
“Hold up… wasn’t that Marcus Fitzgerald?”
he whispered.
Jane stopped cold, then laughed it off.
“Marcus? No way! What would someone

When Abigail got out of the car, her wedding dress got caught on the seat.
The train ripped with a loud tear.
She couldn’t care less. She just yanked off the rest of the annoying train, crumpled it up and threw it away. Her eyes locked onto the villa’s front door, ice–cold determination
written all over her face.
“Want me to come with you?” A deep, steady voice spoke up behind her.
That’s when she remembered she wasn’t
alone- her new husband was here.

Marcus didn’t seem to mind at all. He just
reached in his pocket and pulled out a card.
“Here, take this.”
He held out a dark green card.
Abigail looked up, confused. “What’s this?”
“I should wait for you here, but I got some work to handle,” he said calmly.
“When you’re done packing, head to our house. If you need anything for the house, just use this. No PIN needed.”
On their way here, Marcus had told her he’d
bought a place in Claudia and wanted her
move in.

All she knew about Marcus’s money was
his car – an old Volkswagen worth maybe a hundred grand.
She figured he wasn’t rich and didn’t want
to cost him more, especially after he bought
the house.
But flat–out saying no might hurt his
feelings, and she didn’t want that.
She looked at the card and pushed it back
with a grin. “Hold onto it for now. We’re not
even official yet. What if I just grab the cash
and run?”
“You won’t,” Marcus said, looking straight
at her with a raised eyebrow. “Unless you’re getting cold feet about this whole marriage
thing.” 4/7

“Hey, taking care of us isn’t just your job,” Abigail said, holding the card.
Marcus gave her a little smile. “Then take it as my way of making my wife happy. Don’t
turn me down.”
He wasn’t backing down, and Abigail knew turning him down would look bad.
She sighed. “Okay, okay, I’ll keep it.”
But she’d already decided she wouldn’t
spend any of it.
No telling how long this marriage would
last, and she didn’t want things getting

Marcus smiled a bit.
“Will do.”

She watched him drive away before facing
the house.
When she got to the door, her stomach
was in knots. Her parents‘ harsh words
kept playing in her head as she tried to pull herself together.
The moment she touched the handle, something felt off.
She walked in through the door she knew
so well, past all the flowers in the hallway,
heading toward the living room through the
