Me:You’re right. I don’t see him that way anymore. The fog’s been lifted and goneforgood.
Wyatt:You won’t regret it, Gi. I’ promise to treatyouwell.
Me:Promises. Promises…We shall see, WyattRinaldi.
Wyatt:I’ve wasted time with others waiting for you. No woman can hold a candle to you,Gisele.
That was the sweetest thing anyone had ever said to me. Was he drumming all these sweet nothings to sweeten me up, or was he truly being genuine about hisintentions?
Me:Friday. Beseeingyou.
Wyatt:Take care,beautiful.
My thumb scrolled to the very beginning, rereading our messages again. Wyatt, it seemed, wanted to continue where we left off three years ago. Timewouldtell.
“What’s making you smile like that?” Jared had entered the room with an inquisitive look about him, as if he expected me to tell him the truth as his eyes flickered from my phone to my face severaltimes.
He still hadn’t worn a shirt to cover his sculpted pectoral muscles. Although, he didn’t appear sweaty any longer. Why hadn’t he showered before cominginhere?
God…Why did I want him so much? Swallowing my denial, I shrugged before peeling my eyes away from his perfection. “Nothing…nothingreally.”
“You’re quite terrible at lying. I won’t bite, but I do expect your honesty. I’ve done the same with you. If you tell the truth…well, it saves me time from hacking into your phone to find out thetruth.”
It was my turn to panic. WTF! “You wouldn’t!” God, Wyatt referenced me being Lexi. He’d flip his shits if he realized I tricked him into sleepingwithme.
“That bad, huh?” Jared’s testing me and how I hated himforit.
Damn him. “No, I was texting Wyatt. I’m seeing him again onFriday.”
“How was the Italian food lastnight?”
OMG.
“How’d you know that?”Was he psychic nowtoo?SHIT.
“How’d you think I found you in Croatia, Gisele? You’re tracked wherever you go.” He pointedly gazed at me, not letting me off the hook just yet. “And even if your father hadn’t had one for you, I could easily access anything to make sureyou’reokay.”
My heart lurched. It nosedived and skyrocketed at monumental speeds. “What do you mean access anything?” I asked, feeling lightheaded all of asudden.
“Anything connected to theinternet…”
“You were spying on me? That’s fucking insane!” What was my father thinking marrying me to this man? God. Whatthehell!
But to Jared, it seemed, it wasn’t a huge deal because my outburst did nothing to faze him. “Your well-being comes first. You’re my responsibility now. I take that obligationseriously.”
“And my father allows this crazystalking?”
“How do you think he gave your mother a wide berth, hm? Besides, you’re always going to be a target for kidnapping. I’m not going to let thathappen.”
My father, too? Like two peas in a pod. They were alike, weren’t they? I had no idea just how closely they resembled…Even their crazies were the same.DearGod.
Eyeing him warily, I accusingly glared at him. “How often do you spyonme?”
He grinned as if he found my panic-stricken expression amusing. “Twice in the past week. Before that?Never.”
“I didn’t realize I married astalker.”
He raised one elegant brow before chuckling. “You married thebeststalker in theworld,babe.”
