Chapter 12

—Early October—

Roman had been a married man for a month now, and he liked it. What was wrong with him? He’d already settled into a routine with Jules. He’d wake up in the morning with Mercutio licking his face and Jules serenading him through the opened balcony door. Then after showering, putting together a gourmet breakfast, and teasing his wife, he’d head to work… and couldn’t wait to get back home.

And that was saying a lot. Working marketing at Monty Hugh was a dream job. He’d inherited his father’s passion for the business. The creative ideas always flowed, but he enjoyed working with the numbers and watching the profits go up as his team found new ways to reach the customer.

Today he watched the clock. The hands were nearing four, which was as close to five as he was going to get. During a normal workday, cutting out that early, let alone at five, just wasn’t a thing, but his hands drummed against the desk as he finished his call from the corporate office. The hodgepodge of quality restaurants and rundown casinos of the city blurred through the window in front of him as he tried to remember whether Jules had band practice that night.

“And bring the analytics’ report to the meeting tomorrow,” he heard Mr. Guard say on the other line.

Roman grimaced and forced himself to focus. “Yeah, got it.” His wandering mind was becoming a bad habit. Roman slid his phone into his pocket and gathered his things under his arm to sneak out of his office.

The long hall outside was an artistic blend of gold and cream framework with soft lights dripping from the ceiling. The modern design of the Monty Hugh office had a Vegas feel without the gaudiness. It was also entirely made up of glass windows where anyone could look up from their desks and spy him making his escape. He just hadn’t been expecting Ty to do it.

His cousin shot out of accounting and blocked his way. He was dressed impeccably in a gray suit, looking as fresh and put together as if he’d just started the day—which he probably had. “Oh, didn’t see you,” Ty said.

Roman doubted it. It was no accident meeting here like this; Monty Hugh was far from the Capulet office.

“Leaving early?” Ty asked with a sneer.

Roman’s mouth curved up. “I’ve got someone waiting for me.”

Ty glowered, but he hadn’t started any physical altercations so far. Both of them were too conscious of the details of their aunt’s will, unfortunately.

Roman’s plan might be backfiring on him, but he found himself caring less about Ty and more about Jules. That didn’t mean that he wouldn’t try to push Ty to his breaking point. “I’ve got to go,” he told him with a sarcastic wink, “we’ve got a long night planned in front of the fire.”

“Really? Has she written a song for you too?” Ty raised an eyebrow at Roman’s questioning look. “So that’s a ‘yes?’ Does it bother you
