Chapter 11

Dane blinked, stared, and then blinked again as his parents stepped into his office. “Mom? Dad?” He cleared his throat. “We were going to call you with the news later today.”

“So, it’s true?” His mother had breezed into the room and paused in front of him. “Your father and I came in to have a look at some of the new staff hires, but imagine my horror at hearing this news from Katherine Handel. We thought you’d left the country to finally put an end this ridiculous relationship in the Bahamas. Instead you got married.” She sucked in a sharp breath. “How could you shut me out?”

“Shut you out?” he asked, confused. Was she seriously making this about her?

“You deliberately went behind my back to pull this stunt.” His mother’s blue eyes flashed in anger.

His father approached him and gripped his hand in a firm handshake. “Congratulations, son. It’s about time!”

Dane smiled. His mother might disapprove, but he felt immense relief at his father taking the news well.

“Alfred,” his mother said sharply. “Don’t encourage this outrageous behavior.”

His father released Dane’s hand and turned to hug Allison. “Welcome to the family, sweetheart. Dane couldn’t have picked a better wife.” He let her go and sank down into the chair at the large desk. “And back to work already? I don’t blame you. I do miss this place. Can’t wait to get back.”

“Stop this at once,” his wife chided. “You’re ignoring me.”

“Of course, I’m ignoring you, dear,” his father said calmly. “You’re making a spectacle of yourself. The boy has found the right woman for him. And what do you do? You start ranting and raving. Aren’t you going to congratulate your son and his new bride?”

His mother swallowed and started to tap her foot impatiently. “Congratulations on making a mockery of the institution of marriage.”

Dane’s father sighed, and stared up at the ceiling as if he might find solace in something up above. “My wife is going to drive me into an early grave.”

“Don’t speak like that,” his mother snapped. “It’s your son causing all this stress.”

Dane bit his tongue, tempted to suggest where the majority of his father’s anxiety came from, but held back. This wasn’t the time. His mother might be… overbearing, but he was her only child and she was probably more upset that she’d missed the wedding than the fact that he’d actually gotten married.

… or not.

His mother turned to his new wife, a frown on her typically-serene face. “I hope you’re proud of yourself. What tricks and lies did you use to get my son to do something so foolish? Tell me you signed a prenuptial agreement?”

“Yes,” Allyson said softly, and then straightened slightly. “And the prenup was my idea.”

Dane looked at his father, who simply shrugged. This was why he hadn’t wanted to bring Allyson back to New York so soon. On top of Monica driving her from working at Prescott, his mother was already losing it and disrespecting his amazing wife. “One more word against my wife and you will never see your grandchildren,” Dane warned.
