I return to the desk and get lost until one of our maids comes in.

She blurts out, "Sorry to interrupt."

"What's going on, Josie?" I ask.

She comes in, and she holds out a big manila envelope. "This was just delivered. It's for you."

Alarm bells ring in my head. I'm not expecting anything. I get up and take it from her. "Thank you."

She leaves the room and shuts the door.

I stare at the envelope. Tynan O'Connor is the only thing written on it.

I take it to my desk, sit, and open the package. There's a computer CD, a card with an internet link on it, and one piece of paper.

What the fuck is this?

As I read it, my gut drops so fast I have to swallow down bile.

It's a contract.

It's signed by her father, Malachy Fitzpatrick, and Dagan and Grady O'Leary. The date is one day before our first wedding ceremony.

I stare at it, and my mouth becomes drier as I reread it.

"Shall be shared at their discretion."

Fucking pigs.

There's another note inside in a small envelope. I open it and pull the card out.

Tynan,

We're coming after what's ours. If ya don't turn her over, war will be upon your house.

There's no signature. The O'Leary seal is at the bottom in wax.

I stare at everything and reread the card with the internet link. I open my laptop and type it in. I've never felt so sick.

A video of Maeve and me walking into the club appears. Then it switches to her and Arianna shopping, at lunches, and at their classes. The video ends with us going into different restaurants throughout town.

Fucking bastards.

I pick up my phone and call Killian.

He answers, "What's up, mate?"

"I just got an extremely disturbing package."

His voice drops. "Of what?"

"A contract Maeve's father signed giving her to Dagan and Grady O'Leary."

"What a sick bastard," he seethes.

"That's not all. There's a video, and both our wives are in it."

"What?" he barks.
