Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Paige's stunned face, her own porcelain features darkened by something vicious,

something just shy of feral. "Paige Reed," she said, voice like glass, "I'm warning

you! My family is where I draw the line!"

Paige blinked in disbelief. Slowly, she turned her face back to center, glaring at

Caroline like she'd just been jolted out of a coma. Her eyes rolled a little and then

She let out a choked, guttural cry. "Gordon! Did you see that? Did you hear what
