Disgrace was a bitter, nasty pill to swallow.

After his spill that morning, Colin didn’t know what he was angrier about, himself for falling and possibly hurting Iris or the fact that Darcy was there to witness his humiliation. He’d taken his anger and embarrassment out on her for no reason.

Hadn’t he hired a nanny in case something like this happened? The real possibility that he would fall in the presence of, or God forbid, while holding Iris, had been his main concern. What he hadn’t planned on was having his hormones thrown into the mix. And he hadn’t been forthcoming with Darcy about his injury because he’d prayed there wouldn’t be a mishap while she was here. He didn’t want to be seen as weak or crippled.

Colin sneaked into the house through the back door after Darcy had taken Iris in for breakfast. After he’d showered and gotten his damn leg and back under control with some stretches his doctor and therapist had shown him, Colin felt somewhat human again.

This morning his goal had been to carry on the plan of seduction that he’d started on the phone last night. Then his past had come back to bite him when he’d fallen, completely erasing any impact he may have had on Darcy last night because of his inability to handle this entire situation like a mature adult. Wow, wasn’t he just the king of all things sexy? Now instead of Darcy viewing him as a strong, confident man, she saw him as a cripple, as someone who couldn’t even care for himself, let alone a child.

If the paparazzi back in Galini Isle ever caught a glimpse of his inability to stand on his own two feet at times, he’d be ridiculed, questioned and thrust into the limelight even more. They’d already speculated that he and Karina were falling apart, but since her death, they hadn’t left him alone and he was sick of the pity, the way they portrayed him as helpless and lost.

He was an Alexander. They were strong men, determined and focused. Nothing would stand in the way of him getting everything he wanted.

Needing to get back on track and spend time with his daughter, Colin figured today would be a great day for a little outing. Darcy might not like men who threw their weight and money around, but he wanted to treat her. Out of every woman he’d ever known, Darcy most definitely deserved to be pampered, even if only for a few hours.

If she was working for him, then she was going to be treated like royalty.

Which reminded him, he needed to have a serious talk with her. He’d decided to attend the ball and he wanted Darcy to come with him. That conversation would have to take place at just the right time. He didn’t want her to feel as if he’d lied to her...though he had by omission.

Just as Colin reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard Darcy’s laughter and Iris’s sweet giggle.
