Page 45 of Property of Heart

I keep my mouth shut, silently fuming on the inside.

“I’m selling everything except for the warehouse.Norie mentioned you guys might have good use for it.”I can tell by the sound of her voice that she’s facing me when she adds, “If Heart and I get married without a prenup it will make it easier to split property if things...”She stops talking to swallow.

Now I do glance her way and venomously grunt, “Things won’t end if we don’t keep shit from one another.”

Yes, I’m an asshole whose dick has been stepped on...over...whatever.

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

–LINA –

He’s angry.I screwed up.Dammit.I should have talked to him about it first.Yet, nothing was definite until a few minutes ago.The message I received from the buyer who agreed was the turning point, and why I asked Heart if the club would go into business with a woman.

I was going to explain, but he instantly pulled me with him to ask Fatal.There wasn’t any time...okay, maybe I could have said something when I talked to Norie and Swade.Though, I wanted it to be my decision.No one else interfering, so there’s no one else to blame but me.

Blame might not be the right word.It’s...ugh.I’m fucking it all up.Now I even threw out the part where I want to give all of them security about the investment and get married.Secretly also tying Heart to me in a legal way.

Things won’t end if we don’t keep shit from one another.His words thrown my way just now.Yes, he’s definitely pissed, but at least he says things won’t end...if we don’t keep shit to ourselves...a dig at what just happened.

I’m about to explain when Heart turns to face me and states, “We’ll swing by the courthouse later and get it done.I don’t fucking care about investments or being part owner.You’re mine, and there’s no running away from me.Ever.”

Okay, he’s mad but at least not angry enough to throw me out.Marriage after knowing one another for four weeks might seem extreme to some.For me?I’ve never had a relationship and went through some pretty deadly shit.One person has been a rock through everything and never uttered one complaint about anything.

Well, until now.Not about the decision to sell my business.Nope.He’s pissed due to communication, or the lack of it from my part.

I place a hand on his forearm and whisper, “I should have mentioned something sooner.”

A grunt is all I get in reply.

Then I realize swinging by the courthouse means, “Maybe we shouldn’t get married today.Karev will...”

“Have to fucking deal,” Heart finishes.

“No worries, their asses are hitting bikes as we speak.Well, some will come in a van,” Norie states and holds up her phone.

Fatal chuckles.“Did you message your uncle?”
