Chapter Thirteen

Later that day, Duncan was looking out of his study window to see Tess walking round the grounds with his head man, Gerald. The couple were laughing and pointing to certain plants or flowers around his garden. She looked happier than the last time he’d seen her. Gerald bent down and picked up a flower. He handed it to Tess. She smiled at the older man, ad then they carried on walking.

He knew Gerald was smitten with Tess. The older man was easily charmed. If she knew anything about flowers or gardening she’d be his new best friend. Grace and Gerald had really taken to her, and it had only been a day.

Last night kept running through his mind. Even as he was finishing up a few bits of work she kept invading his mind.

How did she do it? What was it about her that captured him?

She seemed to be this little angel whom everyone adored. He couldn’t find a fault with her. Everything about her was hard to believe. He’d really spent too much time being cynical. The only reason she’d agreed to be his wife was to protect her father.

To think they’d never have met if it hadn’t been for her father’s greed. Duncan didn’t know whether to send him a gift basket or curse the man. Until she entered his life everything was neat and organised. Now, he didn’t know what to do with his own life.

She truly surprised him in everything she did. Her stunning looks continued to blow him away, and to think that with all that beauty she had still been a virgin. It was an unbelievable combination. The more he thought about her innocence the easier it was for him to accept it. After the shock of last night Duncan had found himself liking the fact Tess had been a virgin. He’d been her first, and if it was left to him he’d be her only lover. He needed to make a more stable position for himself in her life. Duncan needed to make her love him. For her to depend on him.

Ever since his parents’ marriage had fallen apart he’d made sure he was in control of everything.

He glanced over at his beautiful wife as she walked through the gardens and vowed she’d have all the romance she needed to make her love him. She’d never be able to walk away from him. Tess would have a wedding night to remember if it was the last thing he did. All of his good intentions and he’d screwed up last night. Duncan knew what his mistakes had been. He knew how to make them right. Soon, she’d be carrying his heir and the final condition of his father’s will would be complete.

Duncan turned away for a split second at the thought of his father’s will. Was it even worth his time and effort?

Getting revenge had been on his mind for so long it felt part of him. He stared at Tess as she leaned down to run her fingers through the flowers.
