The Day I Married An Older Man

There was no such thing as marriage in Adrian Williams’ dictionary. Love? Even worse. As far as Adrian was concerned, his life was already perfect. Women? Money? Easy. Adrian could get both without even trying. But everything spiraled when his beloved grandfather, lying sick in the hospital, made a final request. He wanted Adrian to get married. Immediately. Left with no choice, Adrian had to add that cursed word marriage into his life. Desperate and out of options, he suddenly proposed to the last person anyone would expect. Bianca, his secretary. Bianca Valencia never imagined that her boss, the cold and mysterious playboy, would ever propose to her. And the reason? Because she wasn’t interested in him. Seriously? What kind of logic was that? Feeling bad for him and his grandpa, Bianca said yes. Neither Adrian nor Bianca could predict what would come next. They couldn’t see the future. They weren’t in control. Because love doesn’t always knock politely. Sometimes, it crashes in uninvited. And sometimes, it shows up in the last person you ever expected. Just like life. Messy, unpredictable, and always shifting with the seasons.

“I will give you a slow, painful death,” I spat, my voice cold and final. “You'll regret this, Aria Vetro,” he growled. But I felt no regret. He had murdered my mother. Now, I was just returning the favor. I tortured him without mercy. I had spent years hunting the man with the red owl tattoo and I finally had him. Or so I thought.
