Chapter Six

Three months later

Ellis couldn’t believe she’d been married for close to five months now. Five months since she first met Rafe, and the same amount of time since she’d married him. It was crazy really. Her life had taken a drastic turn, but rather than be afraid, she was actually happy. He made her happy, and the life they’d begun to build was just amazing.

Christmas was only a month or so away, and she found that she was excited to spend it with him. They had plans to make a Christmas meal all by themselves, and they even had plans to go out to his country home and decorate a tree. He’d promised to take some much-needed time away from the office to spend with her.

While he was busy with a phone call to some investor or something, she excused herself, smiling at his secretary before making her way toward the bathroom.

She’d just flushed the toilet and was coming out of the stall when she saw his mother standing there, arms folded, resting against the sink. This woman didn’t like her. Whenever she and Rafe went to social events, they both stayed clear of her.

“Hello,” Ellis said, offering a smile.

It wasn’t in her to be mean or vindictive.

“What will it take for me to get you to end this bullshit of a marriage?”

Rafe had already warned her that his mother was losing control of the company, and with each day their relationship grew stronger, her power weakened.

“Nothing. It’s not bullshit.”

His mother snorted. “Yeah, right.”

“You wouldn’t understand.”

“I know my son. I know he’s drawn in by a willing pussy and a pretty face. You’re not his type, Ellis. In fact, you’re far from his type. He usually likes them slim, blonde, and you know, gorgeous.”

She remembered how he’d held her last night after they made love. “Tastes change.”

“You know, you’re going to get your heart broken. This is what men in power do.”

Ellis finished washing her hands, and grabbed a few towels before giving this woman her attention. “What about you? Rafe can’t even stand to call you his mother. Your reputation is awful.”

“I did what I had to in order to survive.”

“And you didn’t fall for the man you married?”

“No. You see, I know everything there is to know about this company. I know about the conditions his father had in place. He needed a wife and a baby in order to—”

“What?”

“Excuse me?”

“You said something about a baby. What the hell are you talking about?”

“I knew that my son would be a huge disappointment. Even at a young age he was always interested in taking the easy way out. So I got my husband to put some clause into his will. You know, to make sure his company didn’t fall into the wrong hands. Within a few years, Rafe needed to marry, but that marriage had to last a minimum of five years, and also produce an heir, boy or girl.”

Ellis couldn’t believe what she was hearing right now.

She and Rafe hadn’t been using any condoms.
