Chapter Six

Alex had called his lawyer more times in the past twenty-four hours than he had all year. He wished Matt had better news.

“Just because you’ve entered into a private oral negotiation with this woman, doesn’t mean you get to keep her. You may still have to give her up.”

Alex felt his eyes go wider and wider with each word spoken. Matt had already told him a plethora of information over the phone and not a single syllable of what he shared had been expected.

“I won’t give her up. And how do you know anything about this beyond the little I told you?”

“I got a call from a friend of mine over at the justice center in town. Cody Welter was there stirring up trouble earlier this morning and trying to get a warrant issued. The complaint is rumored to have your name on it somewhere.”

“He’s bluffing.”

“Regardless, they won’t be able to serve it for a few days, but you should still be prepared. Do you want to explain to me, your lawyer, why any warrant is possibly pending with your name on it?”

“Not really.”

“If Cody Welter has a binding bride contract including her name, then he’s probably got the law on his side. Are you willing to go to jail?”

“For her? Yes, I am.”

Matt’s long-suffering sigh over the static-filled line was the only thing familiar and expected about the current conversation. “No, you aren’t. Don’t be stupid. Let me see what I can do first before you go and do anything crazy.”

“She makes me crazy. In a good way.”

“That’s fairly obvious. Keep in mind I likely won’t be able to get a copy of the contract Cody Welter has with her family, but even a standard contract wouldn’t help you.”

“I’m sure it wasn’t a standard agreement. And besides, it changed two weeks ago when Dylan died. Any woman in any bride covenant has the final say over the marriage, right? We aren’t animals or fucking cavemen, after all.”

Matt chuckled mirthlessly. “I’m not so sure about that. I’ve heard a few rumors about Cody Welter and his sexual perversions.”

“Which is why I’m so adamant that Brianna not have to suffer their inappropriate attentions or worry over a long-ago contract she never had any real say in.”

“The thing is, I’m operating blind here until I see either the warrant Cody’s trying to obtain or a copy of the private contract he’s trying to enforce. Unfortunately, Cody has more than a few powerful friends lining his pockets. You need to be prepared for possible unfairness on your horizon.”

“What are my options at this point?”

“You don’t have any. If Cody comes with law enforcement and a warrant for her apprehension, you’ll have to hand her over, at least temporarily.”

“Not going to fucking happen. Not even for a minute. “

“Well, then I can be there when they arrest you for failure to comply with a court-ordered warrant on a runaway bride.”

“Not helpful, Matt. The warrant is bogus.”

“I wish you had a copy of the agreement to prove it.
