Housewife Gone Wild

Edward lowered his voice. “The real deal–breaker in a marriage is cheating. Victoria, if you don’t trust me, let’s sign a prenup. If I ever mess up, you’ll get a big chunk of money for all the pain I caused.”

I paused, thinking it over. Honestly, that sounded pretty fair for both of us.

“But what if I’m the one who screws up? I don’t have that kind of cash to compensate you,” I said with an awkward laugh.

“Would you ever mess up?” Edward asked, locking eyes with me.

“No way! Only a fool would do that,” I shook my head. With a husband this hot and loaded, if I ever cheated, I’d deserve to have my hand chopped off.

Edward chuckled. “Alright, I trust you’re a woman with principles.”

My conscience pricked me. ‘Principles?‘ I wondered.

“If we’re really going to be together, what are we supposed to do about Ryan?” I asked. Today, I noticed there was something off in his eyes–like he still resented Edward for taking me away.

“Just let it cool off. He’s just not over it,” Edward said, frowning.

“Alright,” I said, feeling a bit helpless. Guess that’s all we can do.
