“So, to safe our family, I need to marry this spoiled brat who fell in love with me at first sight?” I shook my head in disbelief.

This situation required a meeting with my brother, but Christian, who could not stop making fun of me, had also invited himself over for a good laugh.

If anything, this alliance would not be good for the Lambertis as it would potentially challenge their

“She’s twenty.” I cracked my brains. She was too young and immature to be my wife. It was a surprise she didn’t ask me to marry her on the spot that evening. “She’s not even allowed to drink, I mean come on— I’m twenty-six!”

“She’ll be twenty-one next week-so that won’t be a problem!” Nic added. “We got an invitation in the mail, by the way.” He spoke. “Christian, I assume you received one as well?”
