“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.

“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.
