Chapter 14

His parents had not said much to him since his arrival, which only made Blaze feel worse. He knew they were waiting for the rest of the family to arrive, but the tense silence surrounding them was unnerving.

“What is she doing here?” Blaze demanded when Livi walked in behind Ari and Natasha. She was the last person he wanted to see.

“She’s your wife,” Ari stated in a tone that brooked no argument. “She should be here. This is as much about Livi as it is about you. It’s time to do away with the secrets.”

Before Blaze could utter a response, his parents walked out into the foyer, followed by Kellen and Zaire.

Barbara embraced Livi and said, “Welcome to the family, dear.”

“Thank you,” she responded softly. Livi could feel Blaze’s heated gaze on her, but she refused to look in his direction.

Malcolm embraced her next. “I echo my wife’s sentiments. However, I can’t wait to hear the reason behind all the secrecy. You and my son owe us an explanation. I hope it’s a good one.”

Sage and Ryan arrived next, a few minutes before Drayden.

With everyone present, Livi followed Blaze’s parents into the family room where she took a seat on the sofa. Blaze was about to sit down in a leather wingchair, but his mother gestured toward Livi and said, “Why don’t you take a seat beside your wife?”

“Mom, it’s not what you think,” Blaze uttered.

Barbara looked over at her husband, then back at her son. “What do you mean by that? You and Livi are married, right?”

Blaze nodded. “I was in Las Vegas with my frat brothers partying and just having a good time. I met Livi at that time.” He paused a moment before adding, “We have been married for almost two years. However, I’m just finding out that I have a wife.”

His mother could not hide her surprise. “I see, but why didn’t you tell us?”

Livi stared down at her hands.

“Two years,” Malcolm said. “Blaze, what were you thinking?”

“Dad, you don’t understand. I had absolutely no idea about the wedding. This is a huge shock to me, as well.”

“Then make me understand,” his father responded. “What happened?”

“I don’t know. That night, we attended a concert. My frat brothers and I were invited onto the stage to step. I fell and suffered a head injury that caused memory loss. The doctor called it retrograde amnesia.”

Barbara gasped. “Why didn’t you tell us about this, son? An injury like that is serious.”

Everyone looked in Livi’s direction.

Livi cleared her throat noisily. “Blaze doesn’t remember anything about our wedding. We were going to tell everyone after the concert, but he fell and was rushed to the hospital. The hall was so crowded—by the time I made it up to the stage, Blaze was already en route to the hospital. When I got there, I heard Blaze talking to his friends. One of them said something about his running off with me and Blaze denied it. He said that he cared for me, but that marriage was out of the question.
